Forced Induction system. Played havoc with my ECU and fuel sytem. Almost destroyed my engine. The whole experience was a super big fat PITA. Ended up pulling it.
Do not regret any other mod, however.
Nismo: wheels, full suspension w/sway bars, intake, headers(jet-hot coated), cat-back exhaust
Stoptech 332mm/328mm 4-wheel BBK
Bridgestone S-03 245/40-18 & 275/40-18 tires
Veilside V1, Street scene grill, color-matched headlamps
ARC high capacity oil pan
Sony/JL/Focal audio system
NX 50 shot
Polished plenum
grounding kit
Assorted bits and pieces painted Daytona Blue
Defi gauges
I think that's it.

Alberto, try the bulbs from www.superbrightleds.com. They are bright as all sin. At night with just the parkign lights on they make the whole headlight housing light up. Check a thread I made awhile back in the appearance section for pics.
Make sure you order THESE from their website:
WLED 6-LED bulb
12 VDC 6-LED Wedge Base bulb (194/168 type)
Our brightest bulb of this type
Non Polarized
$ 2.99
They work greaty in the parkign lights and in the license plate lights!

As for my blue leather: I LOVE the look but I would've preferred a sportier feel(I hate it when my *** keeps slipping off of the seat in hard turns), I'll probably end up getting a set of sparco evo's eventually.
The UTR shift ****: Waste of money...PERIOD! What the hell was I thinking when I paid $170 for this thing?!?!
I love my 17" 5Zigen FNO1r-C's, but I should've spent the extra ca$h and bought better tires instead of these sh*tty Kumho Ecsta Supra 711 or 712's (can't remember which)

I regret my Razo racing pedals, the gas and brake pedals are too wide and close to each other now and with certain shoes (wide ones) it is more difficult to drive. I press the gas and brake at same time!
Can I suggest any further post that you state why you don't like said mod!

My regrettable mods:
I-M front lip - made my car look like a plow and it broke while taking it off so I couldn't even sell it..
Revolution-Motorsports red carbon fiber hood - didn't fit.. quality not fantastic..
Kinetix resonated test pipe - one word: LOUD!!
