Default What mods do you regret getting?

I have been reading a lot of "what is the best mod" for this and that, so here is something different.

What mod or mods do you wish you had not bought and why? Waste of money? didn't preform? broke? not what was expected? whatever. Lets here them.

exhaust. ive been through a few, and i must say the peacefulness of stock exhaust is much better than drone.

ive got intake, exhaust, and superchip tuner and none of helped increase mpgs. its pretty pathetic.

the tuner was well worth it

+1 on the HIDextra headlights. Really **** me off EVERY time I drive at night. They're super "cool" when they're working, but one flicker sets me off!

Maybe my speaker box, that kinda sucks. But I'd rather have what I have than nothin at all.

System.....as in stereo? Nah, I doubt that. After the TONS of negative threads about the company, I believe its the quality of the parts. Lol, I wish I could blame it on the system, Id be much happier with it than I am!

Plus, we're talking different year models too. Apparently the 06-^ have a different setup than the 05-under. Your "types" need capacitors and such, mine need resistors and whatever else.

Edit: This might not be HIDextra related, but HID's in general, but a while back there was a thread/post about someone's radio reception being fuzzy when the lights are on: Mine is! Really super weird. Not with the fogs, but when the heads are on, radio reception sucks. Luckily I hate the radio, so I rarely listen to it

Leveling torsion bar keys. The kit I got didn't come with shock relocation brackets and I haven't tried new shocks but the suspension just isn't meant to ride that high stock. The keys are probably coming out eventually.
