Actual snippet of a conversation from Sept 2013:
Me: Eddie, I can't wait to get the car back when you're done with it.
Eddie: Yeah, you'll be able to give the car gas, and it won't be - like - embarrassing....
Great lists guys. Thanks for the responses. Much appreciated I am combing through and I am sure I will have questions to come.

I've had my car only a few months so I'm jest getting started:
Alternator upgrade
Adjustable alternator belt tensioner
New bearings in AC pullies (both on them)
AC conversion to 134 with new compressor and DMCH kit (evaporator, dryer etc)
Planned (already have the parts in the garage)
Hervey's Double Ground cable
AC blow motor (mine squeaks)
LEDs for door lights
Upgraded door actuators and keyless entry
Future upgrades in mind:
Upgraded Relays from the Bitsyncmaster
New cooling fans
New steering rack
New discs and pads
Plain ol' tune up

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the outside mirrors. Please forgive me for posting my own upgrade as my favorite but in my opinion this was the best safety improvement I did on my car. I feel much safer because people can't hide in my blind spot anymore because there is no blind spot.
Greetings from Poland!

I can't think of any Mods that I regret doing, So It goes without saying they are ALL MY FAVORITE! I keep an Active up-datable list in my SIGNATURE. So whoever reads this post will see my Current List which consists of NON-Stock Mods or Upgraded Parts Only. (replacing a fuse box, which I highly recommend doing, is not a MOD)

Agreed. That...
a) I forgot to mention it.
b) It was a significant mod/upgrade.
I also forgot to mention:
Modern clock upgrade as a 'wow' mod for me, but Jeremiah covered it well enough.
Coolant bleeder hoses (rear and front).
Slave bleeder extension.
Temperature gauge coolant bottle cap.
