What kind of mods do you do?

I saw a poll similar to this on 9thGenCorolla, so I thought it'd be cool to see how you guys are into your Corolla's!

Theres gonna be 5 options on how you mod your car and 3 options on what type of mods they are!

If you want, post what kind of mods you have put into your Corolla and how much you total spent.

I've only spent around $45 and that was for a TRD Japan shift knob that is currently off for the summer because the California heat makes the emblems come off. If I decide to mod, it wouldn't be for a little while because I have other expenses that are more important to me right now (living expenses and Hot Wheels fund among other things). On a long shot, I'd consider wheels (Enkei RPF1s are #1), springs, and suspension stuff in the future, but if I see a deal, I'm more than likely to jump on it. However, I might just save all the money for another car (FT-86 possibly or something else perhaps non-Toyota).
