Default Your Favorite Modification?

Like the title says, of all the modifications you've done to your 3IS, what is your absolute favorite?? Could be cosmetic or performance.

I'm a new member to the Lexus family! Picked up a used 2015 IS 250 F Sport (Silver Metallic Lining) and am really enjoying it.
I like a lot of the photos I see of other 3ISs, and have some ideas of things I want to do, but like hearing what stands out to owners after-the-fact.

Hoping exhaust is. It shows up tomorrow I will be under the car this weekend. If not tint, because I hate baking in cars.

I would say chrome vinyl wrap. It definitely sets the car apart from every other IS around here.

Me personally would be tinting my sunroof. the sun used to hit me in the eyes just right and annoy me. after tinting i leave the cover back all the time.
My passengers all enjoy my headrest pillow though. I've got the Belleza Neck Pads, super useful when i nap in my car

New to this, a quick google says it's basically just a lot smoother over bumps?
That sounds like it'd be nice, as the suspension seems pretty tight on the F-Sports

Definitely want to do a chrome delete myself.
Did you do the wrapping yourself or have it done professionally?

You think a tune would be worthwhile for the 250?
From what I've read there's not much more I can get out of the car
