Why do you modify your car?
Just as the topic says. What is your goal when you modify your car?
I mod so i can use it on the track and autoX. I try to make it functional and useful to me in daily driving and on the track.
My main reason for posting this is that i see some guys get all these crazy suspension set ups and BBK but the car never comes close to even seeing autoX event let alone the track. Seems like an awful big waste of money for something you not going to put it through the paces.

People mod their cars, buy expensive watches, purses, dine out, etc. because 1) They can 2) It brings them some pleasure, etc.
We all create our own needs. Please don't justify your needs over everyone elses. It only makes you look like an &^%^&5.

i think you are missing the point.
I posted WHY do you mod? As in a question. It was not a statement. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Therefore i asked a question. I see things from my point of you and you see them from yours. So answer as you see fit from your point of view.
Its not my money someone is wasting be it for making them feel better or hobby. I do what i do for my own reason, and want to know why others do it. There are certain things i may not get but that is the reason why i ask... why do you do it./

To be noticed. To surprise other drivers when they think its "Just a G35". For others to hopefully enjoy [and respect]. Its a way to meet new people [back to the 1st thing]. And because whatelse am I going to spend my dough on? Mines a weekend car, I want it to be a show car but something I can enjoy and show off to people when the weather is nice and be drivable. Its hard to explain WHY someone modifies theirs cars [lightly or heavily] because once you get bit, you're just bit... and you keep wanting bigger and better... whether the car ever sees the track, the street, or even the rain.
All the time my parents ask, "Why do you put so much into when you'll never get it back?" It doesn't make since does it? I can never answer them, "Just....cuzz..."

For those who have the time, tools, and money, it's a chance to get your hands dirty and have some fun.
That you pick up some hp, experience and possibly a better ride, is a bonus.
Whether driven at a track, or just driven on the street, is irrelevent.
I love mechanics.
