Default Your favourite modifications?

This thread isn't really a technical one.

It's really just a chance to list your favourite modifications that you've done to your Civic or CRX. Please try to explain why.

I'll start:

1988 CDM Civic (equivalent to STD).

1. B16A engine (obviously)
2. LS fifth gear in the S1 transmission (awesome freeway cruising).
3. Exhaust and test pipe for my car (dropped almost a full second in my 1/4 mile for about 200 dollars).
4. My nice black 90 Si interior and seats, AND the optional CDM Civic center console

well none of my stuff is actually installed on my rex yet (waiting for body work to get done, so i don't really know what my *favorite* is yet) but i have some JDM stuff which i'm pretty anxious to install:

-EF7 front seats
-EF8 rear seats
-EF7 door panels (they match the seats)
-JDM Optional MOMO Steering wheel (the 4-spoke one)
-EF7 Spoiler /w LED


i'm also liking my new honda parts, all new exterior moldings and new OEM badging

flux capacitor hatch owns jOO!

seriously tho, new suspension and si rims.

kyb agx's and coilovers make the car feel like a fast go kart and the smaller sidewall lighter rims have way better handling/response over steelies
