regret getting my lambos done by idiots the first time around. messed up my panels, a pillars, and fenders.

i regret the amount of money i've spent on lambos. im almost done paying on getting the first install problems fixed.

IMO they are for Lambos only. They are one of the worst fads in the aftermarket to me.

And I think they are gay on Lambos, but its there trademark, so Lambo keeps their cool points.

On any other car, your gay!

Hawk HPS pads - they didn't have the initial bite that stock had. On the bright side they dust very little. Just recently replaced them with Nismo R-tune pads.

i hope ur realize that nismo R tunes pads are horrid for daily driving and actually take alot of heat to actaully become affective vs stock pads. There track (r race) type pads that have to heat up , and will probably never heat up with daily driving and can cause a accident. Def check that out unless ur using them for the track. I had them on my previous 04 and almost crashed.

You might gotten some pads that require heat for proper usage. I have the Endless Vita Nuova and they are awesome pads. Low dust and good bite.

I have learned to pay a little more and get flexible body kits. Fiberglass will crack during install or L.A. pot holes!

No regrets here.

And if you add up all my mods, you'll notice that I only spent $80.

no regrets here, sure my mods didnt give me great bang for buck since they're NA, but i knew that before i bought them. Just wanted a little extra push. After a cat-back exhaust (for sound and performance), i think i'm done modding.

oh, when changing my brakes, i initially bought Hawk HP+ pads instead of HPS pads for daily driving. Worst mistake, hard on rotors, only work well when warmed up (track pads), and squeek like hell on daily driving. Couldnt stand it. HPS doesn't have an amazing bite, but really quiet and feels soft on rotors. Probably go for a better bite pad next.
