What would everyone say the top Five most popular and/or 'important' Mods people are making... Seems to me like #1 has to be the CAI and tuner combo followed by exaust. Make a quick list! Looking for opinons!

note: doesnt have to only include performance mods.

Since I've been living in heck (aka Phoenix), tinting the windows has always been the first thing I've done with my cars.

I went with

1-window tint
2-20in wheels
3-springs
4-tuner
5-intake

If I could do it all over again, I would move the wheels down the list and substitute them for exhaust. I also wouldn't have sold the stock wheels back to Les Schwab for cash off of the new ones, should've kept them for winter wheels.

Here's the order I went in:

1) Tires
2) Tint
3) Tune
4) Stripes
5) Axlebacks
6) CAI

Next Up.... Headers/convertible mid-pipe X/H, custom tune, probably in the spring.

But I'm ALWAYS changing my mind.

intake
exhaust
headers
tune (only because this car is sooooo greatly affected by this)
wheels/tires

then would come suspension mods, SC, gears, TB, pulleys
then things like cams and looks and so on.....

For me it was.....
1. Tuner
2. Cold Air Intake
3. Underdrive Pullies
4. Flowmaster Aft-Axle Exhaust
5. Jet Throttle Body Spacer
6. CDC Sequential Tail Lights
7. Window Tint
8. Replacing the Red Floormats with Black Ones

I know, my counting is poor, but they were all 'necessary' mods for me.
