Nope. Every car I have ever owned I have modified both mechanically and cosmetically. Ive made it my own and I have always owned something completely unique. I do think it can be over-done but usually things like tires and rims, entertainment system and creature comforts are modifications I always make, at a minimum. In the case of my Box its been a whole laundry list of upgrades; driving a convertible with leather seats was a miserable experience and the first mod was grey sheep skin seat covers, from 17" stock painted turbo twist rims to 19" SSR rims made the car look way more aggressive, de-ambering a grey car with smoked was a no-brainer. Ive always thought the car sat a little too high for my taste and next on the list, and waiting to be installed, is an after-market sport suspension that will include lowering the car an inch. The sound is fine but Im not fond of the way the muffler looks and will likely seek something that hides under the car a little better. The black rubber bumperettes are also hideous, eventually they will be replaced with color-matched. Ill be painting my calipers eventually, still pondering the color. IMO making a car your own is half the fun of owning it.

There's no accounting for tastes I suppose.

Sprinkling an occasional "IMO" into your post might be prudent---makes it a bit more palatable for those of us that think along different lines..

I think the assumption that it is his opinion can be made since this thread is about opinions. Don't take it so personally.

Oh I really don't take much I read online too personally---but on this one I did just a pinch. I just
too often see instances where people don't really think too much about what they say before saying it.

Under the circumstances (after my recent post), my reaction to "de-ambering a grey car with smoked was a no-brainer" and "The black
rubber bumperettes are also hideous" kinda made me feel a little like I was being portrayed as a dumb guy driving a hideous car. But that's just me..

But...you are probably right on the opinions thing. I'll keep in mind your advice.

Period correct and stock to the bone (minus the missing wind deflector). I have only had the car for a month but love it. Enjoy the ride!
