Favorite mod you have ever done

What is your favorite modification you have made to your W203, why, and post a picture! Doesn't matter how small/big it is!

My favorite so far was my resonator + secondary cats delete. Wouldn't trade anything else I've done for that sound.

Not my picture but same setup I believe:

Definitely wheel stud conversion, never have to worry about lug bolt sizes anymore.

Yeah I did mine in two steps and it was about $200 total. No sound clips for now, but there are a few on youtube, and they are accurate

Doesn't the resonator and secondary cat delete trip your check engine light?

Renntech pulley has to be my favorite mod. Best fun/$ ratio of anything. I guess adding Sirius would be a close second, as I use it constantly in the car (1st Wave ).

This will have to do for a pic:

I'd have to say lowering springs. Changed the look and got rid of that nasty body roll.

But look wise, I'm happiest with the wheels. That made the biggest change to the look of the car especially since I had steelies with hubs from the factory hahaha.

I would have to say h&r all around although i wish the front would go down about 1/2 inch more (been thinking of cutting the front springs) and the aux input. I love being able to connect my iPod.

My favorite mod is all of the above that I haven't done yet no but seriously getting rid of the stock wheels is the best thing I've done (so far). Completely changed the look of the car.
