This thread is disappointing. Where are the serious modders at?
I can't help but modify everything I touch. Maybe its because I'm an engineer, but maybe I'm an engineer because it is my nature to modify things.
Stock is boring, there is always something that can be improved or personalized. Almost no car is "perfect" from the factory. The people that designed it had a huge market to consider and countless different tastes to satisfy, so the compromises they made were made with that in mind, not you in particular. For me, there is a lot on the comfort, noise, economy side of things that can be sacrificed for performance.
My car is completely superior to how it was when I got it. It rolled too much, pushed too much, looked far too plain, was far too quiet, and so on. I've built it up to be a very fun daily driver and to be a fast auto-x car.
