man, my list is kinda long:
1) i wish i would have bought a GS4 instead of a GS3
2) i wish i NEVER put that STUPID chrome fender trim around the wheel wells
3) i wish i didnt buy chrome 16" stock rims instead of 17's (and i spent a LOT of money on them )
4) i wish i NEVER bought those STUPID knock-off 18" rims (more WASTE
)
5)i WISH i had gotten the Tein CS right off the bat instead of the L-tuned S/S and then Tein flex BEFORE the CS
6) i WISH i had ordered the UGO roof spoiler when it was available instead of getting the DSR-V2 (b/c it was cheaper
) and then L-Sport roof spoiler (again same reason)... i just said screw it and ordered the Carson one from the GB 
7) i wish i had just gotten the kit i ALWAYS wanted instead of gettin the L-sport rear and l-tuned sides and eventually the TTE lip (that was my 2nd choice)... now i have 3/4's of my DESIRED kit and the last piece should arrive next week
8) i NEVER thought i go FI, but i am thinkin about it, and now that i have the RIMS i have ALWAYS wanted, they dont clear BBK, and i may be SOL
9) i wish i had waited and found a car w/navi, but im gettin an aftermarket one put in next week
10) and the thing i REGRET THE MOST... NOT FINDING CL BEFORE i bought my GS

Since this thread is back up to the top:
1. Found my current paint shop first to paint my body kit instead of wasting money on the first shop I went to. Ended up spending the money to repaint the kit anyways.
2. Should've gone with a coilover system, instead of the current L-tuned suspension. Nothing wrong w/ the L-tuned, just want to go a little lower now.
Other than that, I'm pretty satisfied w/ what I've done with my car so far.

yup!!! I was like " damn.. i dont see any of these people posting anymore...when did they start posting up again?"...
mine is short. I dont have that many mods... but I wish I had gotten Zauber's instead of the rims i got now. ( TLW, if you will be sellin them for a reasonable price... let me kno.. ehhe). Wish I had gotten the JP taillights instead of the 2001 refresh ones. Wish i had gotten an L-sportline grille instead of the RMM (to match my L-sportline kit). Finally, I wish I had gotten a Black on Black GS400 ... but hei.. now i got the only flint mica JZS-161 on the planet! hehe.. as far as I know.
