I sorta have another mod that I regret...
My Lotek gauge pod...
I love it but when I installed it, I used JB Weld and didn't clamp it down. Basically, I decided to let it sit and grabbed something to eat, I came back later to find that the Gauge Pod had risen up and now there's a gap and you can see the JB Weld in between...

I think the only people that maybe would regret the Cobb AP are those that did not buy from MazdaManiac. hahaha

Experience is what you get, when you didn't get what you wanted.

I did not know however they are 18x7.5's....

NO way! I had those on my old WRX when i bought it. They were MKW m35. I then swapped them out for 2 different sets of stock wheels. thats funny. here is a pic.
