I did the fog lights with parking lights mod, but it only took a couple wires, so I don't like to consider it my first mod. My first true mod would be my header, followed by replacing the brakes with brakes from an 07 Mazda 6.

 

[mp5la]

Gauge rings. It's something I always look at when I'm driving the car.

My first mod? I dropped it on Tein s-tech springs.

But the mods from that point forward continued to get more aggressive - since it handled like it was on rails.

Turbo... i wanted the power...

 

[MazdaSpeeder]

This is an awesome question. It's been a while, but I think it was the Kartboy Short Shifter. A must for the manual transmission!

 

[zackmac]

cold air intake... but any future car my first mod will be a twm short shifter if it's stick

 

[sleepwalker]

A cheap 50-dollar eBay intake, when the rubber accordion intake tube rotted a few years ago. It's only been in the last year or so that I've been able to do much modding, and then only little stuff.

EDIT: No, wait, I lied. First mod I did was Tribute washer nozzles.

Damn I can't remember my first P5 mod, either the fog light mod or windows always on. Could've been the stereo. MSPs first mod after getting it running properly was solid motor mounts.

 

[esnave09]

^ Still need to figure out my motor mounts. And I guess I bought mine with the windows always on mod. Didn't know it was a mod until I saw it on one of the mods lists I found.

I must admit, my first mod was a set of black alteeza tails I bought from a member here. I liked the way they looked on the red especially after I painted the headlight housings black. But they've long been traded off for a set of JDM tails.

 

[Justin2129]

took off the wheels and painted the brake calipers red with a brush. cheap and easy lol

once you start it will never end

 

[915_P5]

First mod that was done on the p5 was the foglight mod.

 

[denim]

Sound deadening.

 

[bikingpro5]

swapped the radio in the dealership lot before i even drove her away.

 

[rackoonstar]

so which header would you suggest?

 

[esnave09]

Depends on if you're gonna put a turbo in. If you're not planning on keeping it NA just get something off Amazon. There's one that I almost bought for $85 before I got one from another member here.

 

[sneakypete]

AutoEXE intake

 

[Ubel Knubel]

SRI intake. got it for christmas after i bought the car.
