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.
