your first mod

Post by noginsk »

Just curious about what everyone's first mod to their vibe was. If you haven't done one yet, what do you wish it to be?Personally, I have done nothing, but hope for some wheels, CAI, or exhaust... There is that whole money issue though...

Horns huh? Which ones did you choose? How much were they and where did you get them? Was it a hard install?

Neon red underbody kit.The first thing I have ever bought in my life with my own hard earned money. I remember getting my first paycheck. I worked like 8 hours everyday for 2 weeks in the summer. As soon as I got my check I went over and bought my underbody kit and put it on that weekend.

Similar to Arcs: A pedal lock, after some low-life broke into it and stole the ownership, with which a glib-tongued thief might persuade a gullible dealer to cut him a set of keys. (Used every time I parked, until I got new lock cylinders installed.)

I didn't even ask, what with all the horror stories about getting rates bumped for the slightest hiccup... Also, I know many companies won't pay to change your home locks when your keys are stolen. Guess they'd rather replace the contents after the break in!
