Non-Mod Owners Unite!

I cannot and probably will find a car that I wouldn't feel the need to "improve" on in some way. It is just a part of me and I find great enjoyment in personalizing my car to make it my own over the many stock examples on the road.

Besides, I believe in getting rid of all the short comings I can that are prevalent in some of the OEM parts.

I've got window tint and Stillen exhaust. I don't see myself doing anything else to the car.

I might redo the stereo at some point, but it's the only part of the car I'm not totally 100% satisfied with.

I got the Sport and Touring packages, so the things I don't like about the base model (18 inch wheels, no wing, econocar looking brake calipers, cloth seats) came properly done from the factory

I don't really care if my Z doesn't look unique, as I rarely see 370's on the road and it's just a daily driver. If the Z ceases to be fun for me, I'll buy another car.

You will follow us soon.

or not.

Current mods: Fast intentions 12" CBE and LTH(though those are going off soon), Stillen Gen 3 intake.

Amuse vestito kit is ordered and most likely repaint to pearl white + recolored rims.

I appreciate the car for what it is. But I want my own spin on it. Who would want to drive the same car as everyone else. The car itself states something about your personality already. Then modding it tells another part about yourself. Modding has been around since the invention of automobiles. Everyone wants more. No different than buying clothes you don't need.

Yep. 100% stock here.

painfully stock from the looks of it

I don't think that by modding people are saying the don't like the car the way it is however they are personalizing it the car. I love my car but I wasn't really happy with the exhaust note so I bought intakes and the FI Exhaust…

Z's have a tradition of being modified. I think most 2 door Sports Cars and mods go hand in hand, where as 4 door luxury sedans are the opposite and become less appealing as they start to get modded.

USMCASA · 02-08-2011, 09:39 AM

I'm stock except for: K&N drop ins, RainX Latitude blades, and Michelin tires. Other than that the only thing that I spend on my car is gas.

This is what happens on forums where people stay stock...

The people that keep their factory wipers get shunned, and there are huge flame wars about wiper brand.
