I've gone through a lot but here are the ones I regret putting on. No offense to any of the vendors, just my .02

AEM CAI - Had to hack up undertray and part of fenderliner. Risked hydrolock.
Grilltech faux brake duct covers - Cheesy.
Ricks S Emblems - Cheesy.
ZTEC heatshield(first batch) - Broke off.
J's Intake - Had to cut hood.
B&B Triflow exhaust - Melted my rear bumper.
Spugen Duals - Irritatingly loud and droned a lot.
Wald sideskirts - Left impressions on body paint after I took it off.
Muz and Cusco lower front brace - Turn in seemed faster but tramlined more and became too twitchy over rough unven pavement with current suspension setup.
VAFC - Works well at WOT but other than that ran rough in traffic.
Ricks Windblocker - Full size one gets in the way when opening/closing softop.
18" CE's - Acceleration and braking suffered even though they are the lightest 18's.

K&N FIPK = sounded great, maybe gave a little more power, but sold it because i bought a SC/AC. but then ended up selling that so now i'm back to the stock intake.

VAFCII = ended up never getting it tuned, and lost a lot of money on it. but it did look pretty ballin in my center console

Replica INGS side skirts = could have gotten unpainted ones for much cheaper. i'll have to repaint these because although they match well, the paint looks a bit wavy in some places.

Axial Flow = feels great, but the buzz is SO ANNOYING. hopefully when i get the engine torque damper in, it will help the buzz then maybe i won't regret it as much.

OEM rear wing, OEM front lip = should have looked around at my aftermarket options before just going with an OEM part

i have one of the beta versions of the axial flow SS and have no issues with buzz. Did you get the updated rubber boot that goes with the shifter?

haha, gotta love those pictures!

Only mod I regret is my DC Sports Header. I paid peanuts for it, but still wish I'd spent the money for a Megan or something else. I was a little dismayed to compare the stock and DC Sports and see the DC one seemed to have smaller piping.

This is a good thread, usually you only hear the good reviews from people on here, it's interesting hearing some bad ones for comparison sake.

i got that rubber boot but it made moving the shifter too difficult. where did you position it when you put it on? could you PM me some pics maybe? i was confused as to whether it was supposed to go completely down on top of the transmission or what..

thanks
