Default How long did you wait to start modding?

I'm curious how long everyone else was able to hold out after buying their car to start modifying it. How many days / weeks / months did you make it, and what were the first part(s) that you ordered?

I bought my car on Saturday and just ordered Steeda Ultra-Lite lowering springs, a 14" shorty black antenna, and a magnetic trunk panel blackout today, as well as made an appointment to get her tinted next Monday.

I made it 3 days. LOL

Had the exhaust on it in less than 300 miles, trunk blackout and taillight bezels on at around 500miles, CAI and tune around 1400miles and the new wheels and tires at 5000. I am putting gears, tint, chin spoiler and a little custom paint on it in the next 3 weeks.

I put in my shifter,front lip,and had my taillights tinted before I drove it home the day I bought it. Tinted the windows and did the exhaust the following day.

Panhard, Frame Connectors,B&M Shifter.... I haven't gotten her back yet...It's been a week at the shop so far (still waiting for some parts)...So in the meantime I've been ordering shyt online... So far I've gotten in the black billet Fuel door, Pony Floor mats, MUSTANG GT sticker for the 3rd brake light, Sequential Brake Light kit, Pony head rest wrap, silver welting for the doors, still waiting on the Painted Louvers, Pony License Plate Bracket, Billet ***** and drink holder thing, GTO headlight black out, Hood Pins, GT Trunk lid mat thing...and probably some other stuff I've forgotten about....
