Thread 28547430

do you prefer to modify and personalize your cars look (interior and exterior) or do you prefer to keep it stock?

I replaced the factory rims with OZ because I'm hardcore.

People who actually give a shit about their car but keep it stock are soulless cattle. This was 100% a trend created by people trying to keep the used car market clean.

>>28547503
nobody wants the used car of a hoontard. and no, nobody will pay extra for your "modifications".

>>28547506
NPC as fuck reply. No I'm not going to base all my decisions on pleasing a hypothetical future buyer.

>>28547515
then stop whining about it and be quiet when your "15k in mods" shitbox won't even sell for 5.

>>28547430 (OP)
I am a stones throw away from something very bad happening at any time, so I like to keep my vehicles as unrecognizable as possible.

>>28547517
I've never seen anyone making that complaint, I've seen hundreds of NPCs trying to ridicule these imaginary people for making these complaints (ooh, you're a knower, good boy)

Maybe a sticker and some mudflaps. I swap out floormats and add extra gauges for interior. I removed the back seats in my hatchback for better cargo space.
I recently got a mr2-s and I want to keep it mainly stock for exterior, at least while it's mint. Going to look out for a hard top but that's about it. Unsure what else I can do with it, it looks pretty good as it is. Maybe some better seats?

take your pills retard

>>28547430 (OP)
Generally prefer to keep it stock but it depends on the car.
For example if i had a CX 50 i would get the fender flairs painted because it looks cool.
>>28547503
What if i just like my car the way it is?
Im thinking a borla atak axleback might make it more fun though (camaro SS)

>>28547430 (OP)
Retarded false dichotomy
>>28547491
Did you leave it on STILTS like some kind have fuckin MONSTER TRUCK?

>>28547503
sippy bippy, to use the parlance of our times
>>28547506
Nobody mentioned selling a MODIFIED car

>>28547517

>What if i just like my car the way it is?
Then you're probably and npc in the parlance of our times that enjoys beancounter ENGINEERED, old-man-appeasing, hilariously HUGE fuckin MONSTER TRUCKS on STILTS

>>28547937
Thanks, I'm not a racer nor do I have a high horsepower car.

>>28547940
kek cope my car is still faster than yours even after you SLAMMED it

>>28547921
0 contradiction there

>>28547926
No shit you prefer it stock. You don't even have an enthusiast vehicle.

>>28547430 (OP)
If you're not modifying the vehicle you're not being an enthusiast, you're just being a consumer.

>>28547503
Most modifications are tasteless.

>>28548221
Noo i can't do it, the herd says its not "cool"

>>28548195
i do though.
I only drive like once a week, maybe once every two weeks.
I dont get bored enough of it to do any mods.

>>28548233
Thats a brown vehicle and you're a brown consumer

>>28548236
What do you drive?

>>28548262
Something that can't just be bought because its a customised vehicle.

>>28547430 (OP)
I test drove one of these and have never been more disappointed. Everyone says these things are super fun but I have a Golf that's just as fun if not more. For such a mini car, weighs an awful lot/

>>28548265
so in other words you drive something that can be bought plus a half dozen or so components that can also be bought
(that you probably had a mechanic put on because you’re a wrenchlet ricer)

>>28548354
No lmao, I ordered custom stickers and put them on my car. I also have custom spray paint that covers up my car's scratches

>>28548265
>built not bought

>>28548354
Holy projection

>>28547949
I don't have a comeback to this

>>28548361
Yes

>>28547430 (OP)
I have a dedicated track car that gets modified weekly, but the rest of my fleet I keep stock. Makes troubleshooting a lot easier, and I've always eventually regretted modifying my daily drivers. Seems like people are always quick to suggest new cool things to buy without thinking about how it affects the vehicle as a whole. Plus I don't really dig the whole boy racer "bolt on fender flares and slam it" aesthetic

>>28548079
LOL delusional
cuvs are GAY as FUCK, by the way

>>28548221
Literally mostly everything is tasteless. Mostly.

>>28549258
You literally don't have any cars

>>28549265
(You)

>>28549269
(You) still literally have no cars kek cry pussy

>>28547430 (OP)
Keep it stock because most of the time the designers knew what they were doing, I like stuff like making it look like the best version of the model and stuff like 2 tone paint especially that black stripe many 70's and 80's cars have around the bottom. Stuff like wrong breaklights and lowering it too much just make it look busted to me. For classic cars I like to keep stuff period but it can be fun for a few weeks to have way too new wheels and stuff like that. Stuff like different region body parts can be better in one area. Stuff like the 90's Jag XJS looks weird so I think it would be cool to make it look like the 70's version.

>>28547430 (OP)
Many people care deeply for their cars. It is a reflection of their personality and station in life

I like and welcome people putting further expression of individuality onto their cars

Cars are also peak industrial design, and it's great when people enhance that design

Yes, a lot of people are soulless sub 70 iq parasites, if we exclude them we can have a better discussion about the merits of modification

Yeah, I'll probably do some modifications at some point. Planning on a muffler + diffuser from a non-US spec of my car that we don't get here. Maybe the slightly larger spoiler from that same spec too. Then a set of aftermarket wheels and a slight ride height drop of maybe 1" or less. I'm suffering major choice paralysis over which wheels to get, though.

>>28547430 (OP)
I like to park my modified cars next to stock versions of the same car sometimes just to show the other guy how much of a loser he is. I've never had a heavily modified car but I always always hit the Big 3, wheels tires and suspension

>>28549282
>Keep it stock because most of the time the designers knew what they were doing
Then why do beancounters always go and undo that design by forcing manufacturers to put everything on fuckin STILTS like some kind have fuckin MONSTER TRUCK?
picrel is the gs350 fsport how it was designed. Somewhat designed for old-man-appeasement

>>28549356
And picrel is how goyota released it after the beancounters had their way with it
Look how they massacred my boy

>>28547940
This anon drives miles out of his way to avoid even tho smallest speed bumps

Also I'm going to put a spoiler on this thing someday to compensate for not being able to find the wagon version

>>28549356
stfu ricer

>>28549648
No I don't
>>28549652
Kek cry ricelet pussy

>>28547430 (OP)
I'd modify my car if I didn't need it for daily driving. Planning on getting a second car now that I'm not NEETing and I will definitely do mods if I think they will be useful/neat. I really like the idea of a sleeper econobox.

Stock by necessity. This is a weapons-grade retarded country where every single performance mod is illegal, and the only way to run them is to hide them and get them to look as stock as possible, so the least my car has to have it looked at, the better. Even for the 15" wheels I'm planning to move up to from 14's, I need to choose a set that doesn't attract too much attention.

>>28550660
tinted windows

i dig the ascetism of a Built for Big Fleet Purchases base model specd cars.
I replaced OE alloys on my car with OE steelies to complete the look

>>28547430 (OP)
I modify it using other OEM parts. I've replaced my grille with a paint-matched one, added fog lights from a part-shared model, added a different center seat, etc.

Any modification goes through one and only one question what would Mad Max do?

>>28550684
I'm not really a fan of tinted windows anyway, but even if I was, believe it or not here that's also illegal without going through a lengthy bureaucratic process, and still that's one of the "easiest" mods to legalize

>>28547430 (OP)
>interior
stereo
>exterior
plate frame
suspension and/or wheel spacers (subtle)

Get the woody and buzz holding on for dear life car ornament.
