    Hard to pick an individual mod. Wheels would have made the biggest difference to looks, and improved the handling massively so that would be up there with the favourites

    My favourite mod, though technically I didnt do it, would be my Bullbar, the cheapest insurance I can get

    Full 3" exhaust for the noise, and the Foam tune for some extra power.

    Supercharger & Intercooler Kit. About $1580, Gave me about 30% more power overall. I have to be careful in the wet now. (and i am running proper 225mm directional sports tyres atm, soon to be 245x35x19s)

    Or

    Performance Memcal. $165.00 - quoted about 9% Gain, made the acceleration sooooo much smoother. And now (even with the charger off) the car pulls much harder throughout the whole rev range. (I must see how much of a difference a Greenfoam tune will give)
    I've made her a Hold-On Commodore

    Foam Tuned 1995 VR Series II - 9psi Boost - Manual - FM Intercooler - 3" S/Steel Plumbing
    Super6 Injectors - Ceramic Wrapped Genie Extractors - 2.5" HiFlow Cat - 2.5" HiFlow Catback Exhaust with a 4" Dump Resonator

    For looks I would say Rims and Lowering(did mine at same time)
    &
    Performance i would say extractors and exhaust because your cars got to sound good.
