Are you happy with Stock?

Are you happy with Stock?
I don't know if its just me getting older or what but, I'm very happy with my stock G. Basically I have the 2004 Brilliant Silver 6MT-Black interior, the Aero Package with Spoiler and diffusers,Aerodynamic body kit Carpeted Mat with Logo, stock 18's and 15% tint all the way around.
When I was younger I always felt that autos needed some kind of mods being tint and wheels/tires at a minimum. Maybe its just car manufacturers nowadays that are actually putting accessories on that people like...or its just me. I'm only 27 so I hope I'm not maturing too fast lol but, honestly I think the G looks so classy, sleek, fast...everything I'm looking for....just plain stock. Ok the tint was extra but its basically stock. Then again I haven't had the car that long so maybe I will change later. Do any of you feel that way? I see alot of people doing aftermarket things to their G's and thats cool and all but, man its such a sweet ride without all that stuff. Just seeing if anyone out there feels the same way. Thanks for listening.

I feel the same way. I went through my modding phase with my Mustang that I had before. After driving that car (it leaked oil, smelled like burning oil, was loud, drove like ****, but was REALLY fast), I realized that I need a nice sports luxury car as an everyday driver. If I ever get back into modding when I have more free time, I would pick up another mustang just to tool around with. This car is too perfect/expensive to be messing with (besides tint)

Yeah, I used to be into mod'ing cars but...I'm planning on running around stock for while. For me...I'm getting too old maybe. lol. I dunno if I want to call that kind of attention to my car anymore. Or...maybe it would just feel weird to have a bling'd out coupe with my 3 y/o daughter riding in the back seat.
If I do any mod...I'd probably get a twin turbo kit but...I'd leave the ext stock. Get that ....sleeper look going on. hehehe.

I agree. I think this is the best looking car on the market, and that the stock look is better looking than most modified cars. Every time I walk up to it (after having it for just a couple of weeks) I think how nice it looks. I think the stock 19" wheels are classy too. The only thing I might consider is tinting. If I wanted to spend another $10k-$20k on modifying my car, I'd probably just buy a Boxter or the new Corvette.
With that said, I think there are some cars that really look powerful, speedy, or just plain artistic. So as long as the mods fit some consistent theme instead of just being randomly placed, I can respect what people are doing to their cars.

I think the car might have a lot to do with it. Right now, I am planning to buy either a G35 or a 350z in a few months.
If I get the G, I have every intention of basically leaving it stock. It looks great, and really doesnt need anything else imho. Its a great car right from the factory!
However, if I get the 350, I've got a list of things that I'd want to do to it. Rims, bodykit, etc. I dont really know why, its just that I feel I wouldnt be as happy with a stock Z.
Something to think about

the G, in its original form is great! I've got so much other things to mod, I'm just not going to mess with it.. really, the last thing I want to do is throw away lots of hard work done by Nissan engineers. If I didn't like the car as is, I would have bought something (read: anything) else.
