Default What have you done to your car?

I know that many of the people on here have done lots of stuff to their cars. Performance mods, visual mods and one off trick items. I know i can do a search and look for a specific mod, but was thinking that maybe a thread dedicated to just listing your individual mods would be kind of handy. Maybe by having a list, it might be easier to find new mod ideas. Maybe someone who is more organized than me can come up with a better lay out but i was thinking something like:

Visual interior mods:
Visual exterior mods:
Visual engine mods:
Performance mods:
Wheel/tire/brake mods:
Electronic mods:
Misc mods:
Future mods:

So take a few minutes, and brag about your car. Even if its stock with just new valve stem caps and 100 coats of wax, post up.

Aside from the fact the bottom of the car is always as clean as the top.....
ASA Ar-1 wheels.
Painted engine cover
Alpine Stereo that is I-Pod friendly
Black Carbon Fiber dash that goes beautifully with the new stereo. (Thanks Chas)

Not a whole lot but enough to make it look a bit different. I'm considering doing something with the side strake area, perhaps removing them as possible some Eibachs. At some point I'll also do the Rotex golds but my wife's car needs those before I do.
