Default Your best mod/Your worst mod

One of the things I love doing to my cars is modding them. Some of them good some of them not. Thinking through the mods you have done to your car, name the best mod and the worst mod you have done.

Best: Preditor Tune
Worst: static cling sun shade for my clear top

My best mod so far has been the Vette Essentials interior. My worst mod would have to be a set of wheels I bought not long ago - the forum vendor was great, but the wheel manufacturer was a PITA when I had problems. Will never buy that brand of wheel again.

Best mod so far: Since I just got it, the short throw. I'm sure this will change once I get some more stuff done.
Worst mod so far: The "dinner" mod, as in I need to stop eating so much dinner because this extra weight is not helping. For every pound I get rid of in Carbon Fiber, lighter wheels, Ti exhaust etc. I gain in hambugers, BBQ, steak, ribs .. ugh. I'm getting hungry just typing this I'm going to eat doritos.

I would have to say my best Mod was the Fikse wheels.

The worst was when I bought sill protectors.... Which are long gone.

My best has to be my recent A&A supercharger install, (awesome) nothing like 500+ ft lbs of torque . My worst the altec rear splash guards, they are coming off this weekend to be replaced by the L5 motor sports splash guards they are a definite improvement.

Best = Double din and sound system upgrade.
