What are some common things to look for from the first year models?

If you're looking at a first year model have it checked out at a Toyota dealer/service location, make sure all the necessary TSBs have been done, also if the cam plate is leaking oil you should just buy a raceseng or other manufacturer cam plate. Also make sure you spend the money on carfax reports or ask the dealer for it if you buy certified pre owned, we've seen a lot of people buy the car and find out later there was an accident with the car and it wasn't fixed correctly OR that they impulse bought the car and didn't look into the history. Also with that ask for any receipts if available of oil changes or maintenance, carfax usually reports maintenance if it was done at a dealership though, I've seen it with my own cars.

Also, what mods do you regret doing ?

None, because if you research enough you'll know what you're getting into before you purchase them
