Mods make a world of difference!

I was outside during a break from class the other day and I noticed a red LS sitting in the parking lot so I was looking at it while I smoked. All I could think was how plain it looked cuz it was bone stock, not even tinted windows. My car is an LS and I don't remember it ever looking like that tho I did work a tint into the deal when I bought the car so I had that almost from the get go. But now that my car has tinted windows, hood spears, trunk black out, bow tie black outs, gill inserts, exhuast with tips that look great, and new rims I cannot even remember my LS looking so plain and I appreciated everything I have done to my car even more. Have any of you LS, or otherwise, guys had this kind of experience?

My changes began mostly cosmetic and then I got the power urge so the car is getting less of a looker and more of a runner.

They gotta have some type of stripes to accent it.

I totally agree. I think window tint and some kind of stripes or hood spears or fender dash... is pretty much mandatory. After that it is personal taste.

or maybe they're just more concerned with putting more money into paying off their possible car loan/student loan/mortgage/food in their kids mouths or whatever instead wasting it on "mods".. some people just like cheap very nice looking cars but just don't have spare change to buy stickers for it, believe it or not. just a thought.
