I got a pretty short list, but thats probably because I have very few mods to begin with:
1) Hyperwhite turn signals in the fronts and sides 2) Non-OEM LED bulbs in the back (including my own resistor design to fool the computer) 3) Interior LED Moodlights (my own design 4) Install of Gen IV DDE's 5) Removal of Gen IV DDE's and replacement of Halogen bulbs with LED's for the DDE's 6) Removal of LED DDE's 7) Self-painted and installed Hamann front Add-on 8) Painted reflectors (I installed them, but bought them painted) 9) Liscence plate frame. This required a LOT of modification to the black plastic piece on the back and wasn't an easy DIY. The screws I was using were US style, while the black plastic piece has metric holes... I almost did an oil-change, but didn't have enough oil, so just took it to the dealership. There's probably a few more, but I don't remember them now. When I do remember, I'll update my list!
