I don't have as many mods as some others.

I can think of several useful ones in no particular order.

1) dash cam - for recording those special moments.
2) left side mounted usb port - no more running long cords to the cell phone/gps
3) clutch pedal spring (or rjm pedal for those who have it) - better clutch control

Number one mod would prob be #3 as it makes driving the car a whole lot easier.

I looked at my motorcycle spreadsheet the other day. The bike itself was around 11K, all mods combined were in the $5K neighborhood. Following this formula, I probably have another $15K to budget for car mods

1. Buying the G instead of one of it's generic German counterparts.
2. Doing my own oil changes.
3. Buying a garage-sized air compressor...Impact wrench, socket driver, etc.

Dead serious. Everything else to me is just gravy.

I LOVE MY G!!!

The UIM is your top mod? Could you elaborate on that, please?

Thanks all for mod ideas!

My first 3 will most likely be (just got my G):
1. Tint
2. Exhaust
3. Wheels/tires

No go-go mods for now. I hop on the bike when I have the itch. haha

1) Quality aftermarket dampers/coilovers.
2) A tune to optimize bolt on mods. Otherwise they're worthless.
3) Wider, lightweight wheels with higher grip tires.

1) TransGo Shift kit
2) Z1 mounts (I added the motor mounts, transmission mount, and rear diff bushings all at once so I'm considering them as one mod)
3) Exhaust (I've got Z1 HFC's, Motordyne XYZ pipe with resonator, and Beluga axle back with stock mid pipe. Love the sound and not even a hint of rasp.)
