Why did you buy tires first? Were they in pretty bad shape?

I regret not removing my audio system before taking in my car to be service for my foaming battery acid... and therefore being liable for the battery.
Sleezy, i know... but it would have been smarter of me if I had

Power!!
I regret not getting the ignition coil and starter TSB's done before my warranty expired. They both seem to be fine but I'll probably replace the coils at least myself and that's $140 I could have spent on anything else.

My only regret was getting the Agency Power stainless steel brakelines. They weren't up to my standards so I never put them on and resold them at a $25 loss.

+1 on the tires before rims, mine were SHOT and were a safety issue (though it's just a weekend car.) Now i'm rim shopping for rims that will fit my 245/40/18's.

I regret getting knock off rays lugs instead of the real thing because the color faded in two weeks so I wasted $30.00 that could have gone towards the rays I got. I regret not getting the appearance package,leather, and nav.

Even though it wasn't a permanent mod, I regretted putting the front rotary accent on the front air dam BEFORE i replaced it with the front AERO dam. Had to pry that friggin thing off the old one without scratching the finish off...and when I put in on the first time, I put it on to STAY.
Er...other then that, I'm not sure as tho i regret the aero flares...but I regret how I started to rush it, and didn't align the drill holes up perfectly. Grr.
OH YEA...and one of the biggest ones of all...regret NOT having a clear bra put on. Wow...although expensive, woulda SOOO been worth the money.
