Default Mods or Stock?

What is more important to you? Keep it stock or modify it?

For me, it's one each. For the Ruby, it's STOCK! I won't even make the smallest change because every Ruby I've seen has at least some personalization. I want mine as original as possible, let's hope for a bowtie in 11 years :D

As for the '85 MODS! But it's a tricky thing because I want to keep it original to the way it looked in the Corvette Pinball Production, so no cosmetic changes.

As long as mods are done TASTEFULLY , that is the only way to go, I just cant deal with a stock car, getting ready to change out my whole interior now, doing the planning on exactly how to do it, have a 92 Arctic White on red, going to put in white leather and other white extras. Exterior has slight body mods already, just cant leave it alone. :seeya

I see it as my responsibility to fix the mistakes GM made. Like the whole TPI system for example, we all know they couldve done better.

I've gone through a metamorphasis of sorts. When I first got the car, I wanted to keep it stock. As time has gone on, I've wanted some minor mods. To that end, I did the Corsas...and have been planning on headers. I've abandoned that and will keep it as it is... on the look out for either a C5 vert (yellow/black) that I like alot or a pretty tame Viper.

There's nothing wrong with stock...and sometimes you're made to feel as though you're a freak if you don't race and/or mod your car. I'm not really into that. I just appreciate 'em for what they are when they roll off the assembly line. :cool:

My vote is for mods but only the engine. I like the classic look and lines of my 95 so other then maybe tail pipes i wouldn't change it at all. But I do plan on adding some minor mods to the engine and such. I like power but I don't have to show my car is different like the ricers and their silly Rtype stickers hehe.

So...
Engine mods= :D :D
Body mods= :nono: :nono:
