I (kind of) regret getting my car last year. If I knew USB was going to be available on the 2011's, I would have waited!

None on my IS350, but it's not overmodded fortunately. Excessive modding often leads to permanent accelerated depreciation and limited demand for the car at resale.

Default AAC concepts Headlight housing painting

The mod I regret the most is letting a "hack" company paint the inside of my headlight housings on my 2008 IS350. The company is called AAC Style, (http://www.automotivelightstore.com) they sell HID kits and LED bulbs for various applications. I don't know if they just recently started doing headlight housing mods but OMG!! These guys screwed up my headlights so bad that I need to replace them and start over. First, they took the headlights apart with what looked to be a hammer and chisel, painted the housing and then put them back together with nothing more than the glue that came with the light. I even sent them back to be repaired, they had the lights for 3 weeks, did nothing and simply sent them back. To make matters worse they wouldnt refund any money. I now have to replace both lights with a total cost of $2600 just to go back to factory. STAY AWAY FROM AAC!!!

^^AAC is garbage - I had the halo kit from them and it was terrible. left side broke while intalling (Lightwerkz hooked it up with a matching replacement) and then 2 months later the right side(AAC) blew out. weeeeeeeak!!!

This thread should be stickied for new members! Wish I read it before I started modding!!

Lets keep this more about mods and less about options/features!!
