Mine is stock, but it's not just a car...just ask anyone around me!

DuskSS · 02-04-2013, 07:06 PM

mine had 100 miles on it and was already getting clear bra and tint.. 2 days later Oracle lighting inside and out sequential tails and blue scan bar for car shows.
all LED interior lighting and lighted door sills.

tomorrow it is going for a CAI. and soon complete speaker and amp and sub makeover.

so no.. not even close.

My 13 SS is stock cause its my daily driver, I have an 09 Shelby that's a garage queen and all the modding goes to it.

oklapike · 02-04-2013, 07:07 PM

Mine's bone stock, for now. I've got several mods in mind that I'm saving for, though the warranty-voiding stuff is waiting until there's no warranty to void.

Cheveey57 · 02-04-2013, 07:12 PM

Mines stock. If I want to build or re- build, I have others for that...

People on this forum doing the mods is generally where the funds for this site come from. The aftermarket community pays to sponsor here to reach all those buying products to mod their car. I imagine this site would be much less without the sponsors and members here doing these mods.

That said, the smartest mod would likely be to pay off the car loan. But that is no fun now is it?

I'm not younger I'm 41 and 90% of the hottest fastest Camaros in Houston are owned by people older than me.

mine is also a very limited edition and even non car people are loving what we have done to accent the car.
Nothing perm and nothing tacky nor destructive. just things we feel that should have been factory equipment.
The 13 Mustang has the same lighted door sills we put in stock.
and after seeing them we realized Chevy missed the ball on that one.

They all match my factory lighting and look amazing when you open the doors.
Sequential and LED tails also should have been factory.
same as replacing all interior bulbs with much brighter and more energy efficient LEDs gives a much more pleasant soft white light than the stcok standard bulbs.

Stock.......YES my parts have been stock at some point in history.

No they count as a mod. I mean you installed the tint after you bought the car right?

I guess since I've put gas in the car a couple of times since I bought it, and didn't buy it at the Chevy dealer, then my car is not stock then either.

That is a pretty long reach..
Window tint is a semi permanent change in appearance and function. it is for sure a mod.

pincoin · 02-04-2013, 08:05 PM

No mods here, I like my stuff as stock as possible. Probably because I like all muscle cars as they rolled off the assembly line.

But if I were, they would be non-performance. Like lambo doors or brake cal covers...

Probably the only one

1. Worthwhile to me is not settling for somebody else's compromises in a couple of areas. The satisfaction of getting it somewhere near right is not something that I can put a $$$.¢¢ number on. See item 3.

2. Worthwhile to me is enjoying said mods at an autocross or a track day or just in the daily driving. There is a difference between driving hard or even really hard and abuse; smoothness counts. See ↓↓↓

3. Not worthwhile would be having regrets later that I didn't do these things when I had the chance.

I'm 65, and to the matter of modifying my cars I doubt that I'll ever change.
