On the sailing forums an upgrade change or improvement to your boat is referred to as a mod. Being new to a car forum I will continue to call these mods.
After many enhancements to my truck (Designed to make it as showroom stock as I can) I have mounted my new door weatherstripping and my window sweep anti-rattle kit.
This is the single largest improvement in driving comfort that I had made to date. Just changing one side reduced the wind noise hugely. Replacing both and the sweeps has quieted it down to where I don't have to crank the radio to hear talk radio.
The wind noise on the highway was horrendous, now it is barely noticeable!!
Best Mod ever.

re: Best Mod ever.
I usually say mod to refer to something being modified.Alot of people build Resto-mods meaning that they restored the vehicle,but have changed something factory to suit their tastes.

That right there seems to be a good reason to have noisy mud tires, loud exhaust, and worn out weather-stripping67F250CS wrote:scott, I cant hear my radio over my wife telling me to slow down and look out for the truck in front of me and "Oh look, what a pretty house" and.....
