Taking a thought from another tread:

What modification would you consider as the 5 Holy Grails?

My criteria was it had to be Super Cool, and Very rare if done at all.

Here is my list:

1. V8 Hemi Powered Kat
2. Suicide Doors
3. A suspension that would allow you to Slam (Drop) front when parked… say half inch clearance
4. All the aluminum parts polished to a chrome finish
5. Super Model as a passenger

What’s yours?

My 5 Holy Grails: 1.All the parts & procedures that are in my head brought to the "table".2. Modified, reliable 3.5 that will blow the doors off streetable V-8's(and other prowlers too. !) 3. A real trick "tow mule" so I can go long distance with my kat. $.Transaxle that can take the power I want to run without going "boom". 5. A low mantiance super model as a passenger. O-Boy.Obi-Wan

Man, there doesn't seem to be much of a consensus on this topic, either. There is way more than 5 HOLY GRAILs, it seems.

From an owner who's had their cat less then three months so these are probably more of the "my kat's already awesome...but just if it could..." mods:

1) Suicide doors (else welded shut, no handle). Stock kats are already difficult to get into for most folks, why make it any easier?
2) Non-leaky soft top seals (!)
3) Lower driver's side seat. The lowest height just isn't quite enough for me. I want my buns chafed by the asphalt
4) Low-temp supercharger or V8 engine mod. 1st thing to happen once MaxCare warranty expires One does not need a manual transmission to dust corvettes, just a kickass engine.
5) Rear brake upgrade. Stock brakes are good, but less then I'd hope for from a car with such a light weight.
