^^Line will show on dark colored cars.
I know I have clear bra on my IS. Plus $$$. Probably will just repaint the hood in the future. Might even be cheaper than clear bra.
Chips will show but scrapes fade away after a few days. I have an 09- it has the scratch paint thingy.

 

first mod--20% tints
second--all weather mats
third-- swap out oem air filters for K&N filters
fourth-swapped out oem fogs bulbs for Piaa Ion

next --clear bar (didnt do it on my lexus is 250 and really regretted it)

 

first mod - 5% tint, (I hate the sun)/ add Cobra Radar Detector
2nd - Converted fog lights to 6000k HID
3rd - Changed headlight bulbs to 6000k to match fog lights/changed front turn signal
bulbs to Dual Color Led Switchbacks
4th - Added resistors to turn signals to stop hyper flash
5th - Changed all interior bulbs and License Plate bulbs to super white Led bulbs

Next is the Clear Bra, been procrastinating but at 3k miles im already seeing damage from bugs. Will be adding the bra in the very near future.

 

I remember I had my car bone stock for like a week and then I put tint, rims, drop and front lip within a month...hehe

 

tints
bra
front and rear light overlays
debadge g37s

i did the same thing: tint, then change fog light bulbs then interior/license plate leds, and then painted rear valence and grille.

 

1. 15% Tint (2nd day off the lot)
2. Reversed shift direction on 5AT
3. Painted front grille
4. Eibach Springs & Wheels
5. Next: Grounding kit

Hypertech guy, any ETA on the 2010 update?

 

As soon as you get a G, the first thing to Mod should be your girl. The girl sitting in the front seat of the G, gotta look as good as the G.

 

First mod was springs. Then tints, exhaust, wheels...and so on.

 

1st was the 20% tint
2nd was the Fujita SRI
3rd was the keyhole delete
- install tomorrow -
4th was HID upgrade for both headlight and fog
- In shipping -
5th is the Grounding kit
6th is the Hotchkis sway bars
7th is the Eibach Springs
8th is the ARK Cat Back
- and of course more to come...

 

I had the clear bra put on first, then the windows tinted.
My next two mods cost about $20. Ordered a stealth cord for neatly hooking up the passport and got 2 rubber jackets for the smart keys.

 

windows tinted

next is the bra (bit late but not much dmg yet..)
then i am thinking of doing a drop

 

I’m not surprised that although the title of this thread is “What was your 1st Mod?” it has turned into listing of ALL the mods a poster has. I guess pride in modding knows no bounds. Perhaps us stockers need our own thread: “What mods did you consider but decided against?” I’m sure each list would be very short.
