so whats your very first mod?

For me, weight reduction! Recaro seats are a must for me, cup tires (hopefully I can get some for this car) and hf cats. Then will spend the rest of the time trying to get some weight out of her while maintaining the 51/49 balance. This car will be roadcoursed quite a bit hopefully. But I will not modify anything to compromise the warranty.
What about you

I think the tint was the first mod I did. May be just me but comfort is a def. plus and I cant stand non-tinted windows for vehicles. Too much sun heat in the car sucks!

Seeing as it is a liquid to air cooled SC system I would first before anything put a proper oil separating PCV catchcan system on or the intercooler will look like this after a few thousand miles:

I plan on buying some black tail light bezels and installing them while my car sits in the garage waiting for the snow to melt. I also be installing a wireless hide-a-plate for the front. Once the snow melts I'll get the windows tinted and a clear bra for the front. Then a CAI and a mild to wild controller and who know maybe more!

Tint will be the first appearance upgrade, mild to wild will be the first coolness factor upgrade, and CAI will be the first performance upgrade.

Tint Then any resonator delete, muffler mod', and consider CAI and shorties. I need CARB-numbers because LE around these parts are smart and any mods' beyond these, for the motor are going to be intercooler-related and pulleys to remain stealthy. If the CAI and shorties are worth anything on other's cars, I'll br considering them. No LTs this time OH - complete detail and clay bar after the tint, lol.

9.5" Crank pulley, Long Tubes, Tune. Existing air intake might stay as it already is better than CTS-V so might not see an improvement to change it?
