Best mod so far:
Add an amp and subwoofer and replace front speakers.
I may have a different answer in a few months. I'm getting ready to tackle a few mods/upgrades I've been putting off.

I've only done two mods so far, but between the two, the Rubbertite floor mats. The OEM mats in my car were just terrible.

I got Rowan two weeks ago today, so I haven't done much. I think the best mod so far is the Pulsar third brake light flasher, which I installed yesterday. It will make me feel a little safer when driving my little car in heavy traffic!

My best mod was the Accessport. This eliminated the throttle lag and gave a nice bump in midrange torque that makes the car more fun to drive.
The JCW steering wheel is nice, its the one mod that I use every time that I get in the car.

The best mod was putting me in the driver's seat!

A MiniMania Intake Snorkel...
She's a "Justa" Cooper if that makes a difference, with this mod. I no longer have to use the Sport Button or worry about fuel mileage!!

Weight savings is the best mod, it is free. All the way from removing backseats to the driver losing weight.

I'd have to say I have a 3 way tie for best mod I've done to my car.
1) NM motor bushing
2) Tyrol Sport 40% ssk
3) Ditching the run-flats
All 3 made a very positive difference in the car.

Best mod I ever added was heated seats.
Adding Sirius was also good and I use that every time I drive.

It has the 17" run flats
Tomorrow this MCS is going to have a

This was the determination my wife and I made when buying road bikes. Drop an extra grand to loose a pound off the bike weight...or just bike home and lose a lb on the cyclist :p
