Best First Mod

In your experience what was your first mod that you did to your evo. Did you regret it or would you suggest doing the same thing? What is the best mod that one can do to an evo first? Pictures make post pretty, lets see 'em.

Depending on what you are doing with the car.

If you are wanting to autox, then the best first mod is the driver mod. Get some seat time and then learn what mods will help you once you have gotten a good feel for the car.

I am not looking for help for my first mod. I was just wondering what everyone else has done as the first mod. From the person who bought a stock evo to the person who bought a completely built rs. Just wondering. =)

If you don't plan on doing mods for a while, get a tune.

maybe not a best first mod....but as far as best overlooked mod.... seat lowering brackets.... more comfortable, lower center of gravity and more room for my helmeted head.
