Post a picture of something that you purchased, and once you got it, pretty much wished you punched yourself in the face before making that purchase.

Not that it isnt a great wheel, and pretty high quality for the price I paid. But, the rest of my interior is black and classy and leather...this is...pink.

Why the **** did I buy this?


AAAAAAND GO!

Bought this ultra 4point brace , thinking it would protect the oil pan. but, does not even fit
low cars with fat sway bars like tanabes. the end part also hits the steeringrack boots, needs to be shaved.

total waste of money.

My car...... Dont have a pic but I'm really kicking myself in the ass right now for buying an out of state salvage title reconstruct, even though it was a great deal and worth way more than i bought it for in terms of motor, suspension, interior, etc

Thought the same thing with both these cars. Sold one of them since then.

But it's now, I think the end result will erase my regrets.

Some genius, decided to install non-nissan sunroof into the S14 and hacked out the roof re-bar un-necessarily ...
I guess this was my fault for not ripping out the headliner to check this crap. -_-
