Anyone ever do that 1 little mod that just does SO much for the car? I'm not talking about power actually, but 1 mod that just changes the way you think when you get in your car, or when you drive around. I know it sounds dumb, but I just did the second 1 since I've had my car. First was the ceta conversion, that changed the whole way I viewed the car, I fell in love all over again after that. But today I did another, believe it or not, it was something as insignificant as new sun visors. I got some MINT ebony sun visors off the forsale forum for like 64 bucks shipped. I never knew these actually had SPRINGs to keep the mirror closed. Not only that, but the non stretched elastic is so nice lol. My old ones had the elastic that was stretched out like Courtnay Love's ******, and I always tucked it back into the mirror part, but If I hit a bump it would fall and dangle in front of my view lol. I was just driving around today and now that I can actually use these things its really nice lol.

That's funny **** spuds. For me it was replacing the damn flasher, now it doens't drag out between each click now, and I'm not afraid to use my turn signal with friends in the car =P

ya ive had those... the first was a short shifter, when i put it in, i looked forward to driving the car everyday, and would find excuses just to drive it around lol
with my hurst shifter/pro 5.0 stick came a stock hurst "H" **** from a ws6, but it was pretty abused, and the leather was just wearing away on the top, and it looked pretty bad...
so today i got word that a "firebird with the ram hood" got traded in, so my co worker says
so i go to check it out, its an extremely low milage pewter ws6 convertable 6spd, VERY nice... i look inside and sure enough, it's got the hurst shifter 
so i swapped shift ***** with that car, and i now have a brand spanking new hurst shift **** and i think it makes the int. look a hell of a lot better

i put in macewens white gauge overlays with the ta bezel and is the best thing ive done to the car yet. the factory gauges look so cheap, especially with no bezel. now i cant stop looking at the gauges, they are so sexy.

My wheels were the first, paint was the next biggie, but i have to say getting my duals was definetely the moment that changed it all. Went from sounding like loud raspy ***(ory and a bullet) to pure unadulterated muscular harmony to my ears. 
I've got some stretchy snatchiness goin on with my visors also so i feel ya on that one spuds.

Definetly when I hacked off the muffler and got rid of the cutout. I didn't like the cutout because it caused all kinds of rattles and was really annoying on the interstate. !Muffler sounds just as good, is just about as loud on the outside and much quiter on the inside.

Lowering it, then yesterday I broke down and bought an iPod with a awesome adapter for my car, the neck is solid but moves around so the iPod just extends out and it can be moved to face the driver, passenger, floor, or ceiling, no more skipping CD's!!

Shocks. I should've done that before I even got the car home.
Also, the Raptor hood made a huge difference, even though it cost a lot more than I wanted to pay for a hood.

The only thing I've done to my Camaro that changed the whole way I viewed the car was the ZR1 wheel swap....totally changed the appearance.
As for little mods that make you feel good, I think ditching the DRLs was it for me. I just think it looks silly to have lights turned on when it's bright and sunny. IMO.
