Default What was your first mod on the ES?

Lighting's always a nice and cheap car mod (as long as it doesn't look ricey) I put in Sylvania Silverstars in my '96 ES, and PIAA Xtreme Whites in my '01 ES.

Let's all share our first ES mods together

My first mod was my cd deck...

Then it was about a 1 or 2 year wait..... Then all of these other mods started coming all at once.

ok, a little confused here.. Please dont think that I am having a go at anyone.. But I am having trouble classing what bulbs you put in your headlights as a mod?.. I notice that everyone says that they mod their cars by putting brand-X bulbs in their lights.. The reason I say this, and it is only jokingly. Is that if I take the Philips bulb out of my desk lamp, and replace it with a Panasonic one because it shines a different kind of light. Does that mean that I have modded my desk lamp?.. Something to think about? hehehe

Right on Aus:
Is changing to a different brand of oil, filters, tires, etc., considered modifications???

first mod actually was SC430 wheels. Couldnt pass up the deal. One question. What does the K&N Air Filter do if anything. Is it worth it? Just wondering if i have a few extra bucks.
