Sway bars, springs, SSK, air intakes, etc. Those are mods. Tinting, clear turn signals, subwoofers, spinners and such are not.

So because they are accessories, do you call it accessorizing your car instead?

No, it's borked because I was (wait for it) kidding about the 20" wheels--I'll be going with 18's.

Furthermore, you're telling me that adding lighter, non staggered 18" wheels and tires is not a mod? 404 Logic not found. :iono:

Lol changing your car in anyway out of the dealers lot is a mod.

MZWIE · 02-13-2008, 01:54 PM

So by that logic putting different brand tires, oil, oil filter and the such is a mod.

Now that's funny.....

BMW Dreamer · 03-30-2008, 07:48 PM

CF interior trim kit. Maybe de-badge 135i.

A short shifter.

Oregon · 03-30-2008, 08:52 PM

CDV replacement...thanks Riss Racing.:wink:

bmrdude3 · 03-30-2008, 09:02 PM

Tail light tint. window tint. rims

M_Time · 03-30-2008, 09:04 PM

Remove the stinkin' CDV valve.

jeremyc74 · 03-30-2008, 09:10 PM

I don't really consider tint a mod, but I'll probably get that done right away.

After that I'll start buying parts, and when I've got 3 or 4 things I'll take the car to my buddys shop and we'll do them all in a day.

I'll probably do down pipes, springs (and shocks maybe) CDV, intercooler, and short shifter at the same time, and then hit the Dinan dealer in Nashville on my way home and get the tune put on the car.

I probably won't do much more than that to increase HP, so then I'll probably slap a set of LMs on the car, maybe the lip spoiler from the Tii and call it a day.

Some sort of intake, so I can hear the turbos spooling

Mystiqueskillz · 03-31-2008, 04:57 AM

My first mod would be a clear bra. That is something everyone should definitely get to prevent rock chips. The first thing I did after buying my S2000 was drive to the nearest installer to install my clear bra. lol.

Kiety · 03-31-2008, 05:23 AM

didn't see it mentioned anywhere in the thread, but the BMW performance catalogue's LED steering wheel for me!

so anyway, my first Cosmetic mods are changing the front and back emblems to black/white propellers, and window tinting.

I want to add some Carbon Fiber and the BMW Performance exhaust soon
