My front splitter, I love the looks for only $165, but I feel Like it jynxed me. Two days after I installed it I ran over a duck in the road and damaged the spliter and my fender. What's the chances of running over a duck in California?

I regret the street scene body kit. It doesn't hold on well, and the sideskirts look as if they are falling off. Disappointed. On the other hand I got lambo lights, gm gill inserts, and alot of stuff from phastek (lt headers, smaller things) and I am 100% happy.

DSS 9" conversion. I'm on my 3rd diff and 3rd set of axels. Plus the other day a passenger side axel is making loud clicking sounds when I'm driving.

I wish I had taken photos of mine (CarID dash kit), but I'm sort of thankful that I didn't because y'all would rip me for how lame it made my baby look.

But, yeah, if anyone has pics, fire away!

Hurst short shifter. For the price there is no way they should have crappy bushings that allow that much play. the next day i have off, im putting the stock back in. cant believe they havent fixed this problem.

My only regret was the STUPID decision to sell my 17" Welds.

Crap, I should have kept those!!!

I think I'm going to have to get another set of them...they just look too bad-@$$!!!

Does anyone regret dying the leather stitching? I'm wondering how well that holds up.

That is all

I hope you guys know I was joking. Didn't think it derailed the thread in any way.

Anyway, to get on topic, my post talking about the trifecta tune would be my biggest regret. it really doesn't do much for the LLT manual. oh, and hurst short shifter gave me problems with 2nd gear grind.

I regret getting the knight rider mail slot light. I got one of the early versions, it died, so I sent it all the way back to England to get repaired (which they did free of charge, but shipping was expensive) and then it would never sit flush inside the mail slot again and I'm pretty sure it's broken again. So, instead of sending it back and paying for shipping again, I just wrapped it up, stuck it back in the tube it came in, and stored it away.

Maybe one day I'll decide to just throw it away, but I can't bring myself to do that just yet considering how much I've already spent on it...
