I regret buying the interior welt/trim stuff (trash), magnetic blackout panel (gave away) and car cover (never use.)

The whining and clunking noises are driving me nuts!!!

don't feel bad , I paid 1200 for parts and labor but I haven't been inconvenience like you. If I had to do it over again I would have gotten cat backs to try to adopt the sound of the two -valve but I still like my Mac axlebacks. There have been some interior pieces that I have received that had bad fitment. One I got stuck for , it was 35 dollars when I made a complaint to the business he told me that I installed it wrong and that if I complained on this message board that he would sued me. Jesus. Other than that I wish I had more money to afford what most of you have here. But being that I have child support and a new wife who isn't mod friendly and says I'm a selfish person than I kinda of just laid low here lately on the mods. even when I mention that my car will be paid off soon she said, "It's not all about you." Should of , could of , would of.

another regret I forgot to mention earlier was an Evolution Tune that sucked worms. I now will do all my tuning with Brenspeed not including they have the best customer service.

Oh yeah! I bought 60 feet of interior welt. Put metallic silver in the doors (which came out AWESOME), but the red welt I had intended for the dash came out poorly...as it in keeps coming out...I didn't anticipate needing rubber cement to keep the welt in place. Not to mention that getting the welt in the lower dash/console area requires incredibly tedious trimming of the welt itself.

Woof.

I'm sure I'm not the first to regret having Pro-Kit springs installed without getting the D-Spec dampers. Nor do I think I'll be the last!

I'm done with modding and the new Shelby GT will be a rolling museum piece, factory correct in every way!
