First mod was the Eibach lowering springs. Regrets: bought 16" aftermarket wheels...should have waited longer or gone with the 17" in the first place. Turned out OK since all I had to do was trade the 16" for the GT wheels. Next mod: just ordered a short wood deck for the back of the cruiser to match the wood shelf that my NOS sub-woofer sits on.

First mod=wheels (within 24 hours).
Regret=they peeled and the hassle of replacing them.
Next mod=strut brace
Would also like to put in F/R sway bars, chrome A/C outlets, paint match and install center pod

First mod was color matching floor mats that I had 4 months before my PT arrived (ordered and waited 8 months). Only regret was buying a wood dash kit from California Cruiser or whatever they are called now. Some of the parts didn't fit well and they didn't offer to replace them.

First mod was lowering springs
Second: wheels and tires
Third: dual exhaust
Forth: Custom Leather, and it goes on and on, so far about 30 mods.
Regrets? I just bought new tyc back-up lights to go with my new tyc tail lights.
My wife just bought me a new PTeazer roll pan for my birthday and my new back-up lights won't work with the roll pan but, I'm way happy to get the pan. I guess someone will get a good deal on the lights.
Next mod besides the roll pan is Chrome top and bottom hood panel, will be ordering on Monday.

I can't remember on my '02, think it was AirAid - but on the '05 I just picked up it was the E&G grill - I swapped grills right in the dealer garage!

removing the silencers was my first mod, great one. Also get a hi-flow air filter if you want more horsepower.
