    I mod because it's a hobby....if you're going to look at your checkbook and cry, then I would definitely stay away from modding. Especially when you step up to NSX territory, where the parts are so expensive.

    I think the best way to mod your car depends on what you are going to do with it. Like for me, I'm trying to increase my 0-60 time (don't care about top speed since it maxes out well over 160) so some simple horse power add ons are needed. But I also want to increase the "rich-ness" look of the car. IE, bigger rims, but not too big, gotta be conservative, drop the car just a bit, but still conservativly, give the windows a bit of tint, now this is where I got max, the darker legally go, the better. And last but not least are side skirts, they make the car look lower and give it a really squared off look.

    I'm trying to make my Aurora look like a gangsta car in a sense, I'm trying to make it look like it is worth more than it really is. Tinting the windows and putting some big silver rims is all you need sometimes.
    Live life to the fullest. Even if full is over 3.75 a gallon! (Wow, I wrote this two years ago, and that is when I was paying 2.35 a gallon, I now pay 3.50!)

    For the most part, I agree with the general idea that it's okay to mod if it is done tastefully. As for how much is okay to spend, well, that's up to the owner. True car people know that you never get your money back on the mods, everyone hopes to find that one guy just like you that will appreciate and value everything you have done. Good luck with that. So far, I have about 1700.00 wrapped up in my truck. I chipped the ECU, added dual catback exhaust, cool air intake, tonneau cover, window tint and system. The next step is new seats and the full console from an Expedition to replace the bench.
    I hope its obvious that my views do not express the views of T-mobile. Anything I say should be viewed as my own opinion & no reflection on the company I work for.
