What are your opinons on keeping a car stock vs. mod? Also how much do you have to do to a car to not consider it stock anylonger. For instance is adding a console cover or changine the door speakers a 'mod'? For a 'classic' I think that would be but we are not there yet.

To me, the change has to be substantial or mechanical. So I would consider a new exhaust a mod as well as new wheels.

Yeah, I agree about the change being substantial. Mine is stock now and probably will stay that way.

I've been wrestling with this decision. I plan on keeping this car a very long time, though, so I'm leaning towards stock.

Mine is slightly modded:

Rims
Exhaust
Stereo
Front Splitter
Grills

Mods on the way:
Seats - I am way over the roll hoops with the stock seats .

I think you should keep it stock unless you decide you want to mod it

Seriously though... It really depends on your tastes and what you want to do with your car. For me, the handling mods I've done make the car what I wanted it to be. A few minor cosmetic mods (complete debadging, some interior tidbits) make it just a little unique.

I have OEM mods. So is it technically stock? Front Lip, Rear Spoiler, Black/Chrome H badges, H valve stem covers, CD changer, Set Back Pocket. Oh WAIT! I've got the glove box organizer. I guess that makes my car "heavily modded".

I just realized mine has been modded a bit. I don't have any identifying S2000 labels on the outside - just the black "H" on the back and front. Also don't have an antenna cover, just a spring! And I've got those custom MOMO wheel caps.

I'm with Blu -- plan on keeping the car (as long as I can get in/out of it without hurting something -- but then I'm Vintage and he's not). If I hadn't thought it was beautiful, wouldn't have bought it in the first place, so it'll probably stay stock. I do think that some of the mods add to the beauty of the car and are an expression of personal taste, so I'm not against it. I enjoy seeing the various things people do to them, etc., but she goes as fast as I need and I enjoy her the way she is.

Okay, let me say first off, I know you are all going to laugh at me, but that's okay...

I think of my car as essentially a stock ride, but if I list the mods I have made it becomes clear it is modded. I guess why I still think of mine as basically stock is because I have not modified the engine or the suspension. Keep in mind when I say suspension I think of an X-brace as more of a change to the chassis not the suspension.
