Ok, many of us will/have modified our cars...so, what is your mod philosophy?

I tend to lean towards stealth. My Jetta is black with just the stock chrome plus a nice chrome exhaust (just to let people know I mean business B) )
Inside, all my aftermarket tech is hidden w/ flip down Sony radio, flip up LCD screen, xbox in trunk, all switches placed in OEM spots...

When I get the 05, I think I might have to change my philosophy b/c of that killer exhaust note though...


So, to which house do you belong?

 

I like sleepers...don't know what your messing with till it's too late.

But, If I know my car is fast then why not let everybody know? It should scream "I could kick your hiney!"

Edit: I could some musclular guy yelling that at somebody...

 

stock all the way. dont mess with something if it ain't broke, thats what i say

 

Stock. All I've ever done to any of my cars is to add an exhaust system. From what I've seen so far, the 2005 Mustang won't need any mods from me either.

 

Depends on the age of the car, original cost of it, etc.

Classics and brand new cars I like to leave stock. I'd mod a 94-98 or a Fox, but not my '66 or a new Cobra, as an example.

Could someone explain Cal-Style? I'm from the other side of the country...

 

i'm from california and I dont even know what that means. i should go out more

 

Don't feel bad Zep... I have no idea either.

 

Stock

Only things that are not stock are white stripe (boy, what a mistake that was) and bra.

 

Question for the two guys who chose Cal-style... what is that?

 

Wth is cal style?
I live in cali and I'm confused....

 

exactly.

I just get what comes along and if I like, not sure if i'm thinking of the theme. Maybe when i'm done i'd be able to answer. Probably sleeper most closly with some MINOR styling. Some things like louvres, scoop(when I find the one).

 

whats the diff between sleeper and stealth?

i think cars are like people... those that like to show off/talk a lot of crap, usally can't back it up.

 

Cal style? Is that tiny wheels and tires and cars that have chains on the steering wheel?

I live here and have no idea what that means.

When did California become cali? I must have been out of the country or something.

 

Umm, I don't know who put up the poll...but I'll try to explain 'cali-style'

Cali-style is basically simplifying a car to its basic shape(shaving, one or two tone paint, little or no chrome) Not many people do it anymore, its more of a '60s thang.

Little wheels and chains, I have seen it, but I don't know what that is :scratch:

Between Stealth and Sleeper, I think of Sleepers as being cars that are unexpected to have any power(Falcons, Taurus, Vista Cruisers, Intrepids) and hide the power and Stealth is a car that gives hints to its power, but is very low key.

Feel free to put down any thing not found on the poll

 

Heres some examples:

Cali


Ricer


Sleeper/Stealth


Little Wheels
