Are you happy with Stock?

If somebody has the time/money to invest, thats great. Modding a car only tends to personalize it, be it cosmetic or performance wise....
I think the car is a pretty nice package stock, but I did change out the lights, and would consider a new set of wheel/tires when the Pilots wear out.

I am leaving mine stock. I love it and feel that it is a sweet looking car without any mods. Tinted windows is about as far is I went. Might do the overlays but that will be it. Mine is also Silver.
I remember the day I brought the car home I thought it was sooo low and the wheels were soooo big then... I started hanging out here and the wheels aren't as big and it isn't as low as I thought it was! Damn forums!
I was perfectly happy with the car stock, and since I bought if it fully loaded it was not cheap (as you all know).
I had no intention of doing anything to it, well wash and wax it...
But I work long hours, and carry a lot on my shoulders at work. So fiddling with the car is a way of taking an hour or two here and there to take my mind of work.
25 years ago I made my living with Engine rebuilds, mods, and general auto work.
The thrill died quickly, but this is just my car, my choice....
So I wanty it to look and sound stock, but I also want the thrill of a little more punch, etc....
Old guys never die, they just buy more expensive toys....

well I'm in my fifties but have alway driven sports cars and like having something just a little different. i'm installing the MD 3/8" spacer and some of Bat's 3/10 overlays to my clears and tail lights next weekend and then I about finished with the mods for now. (the only one I am still considering is the performance 10 wire kit from Gord)

The dealer or private buyer can give a sh*t that you have a Twin Turbo in it.
