I, too, love the stock look. I can't seem to resist the urge to tinker, though. I had to put a clear bra on to save the paint in front (that's not really a mod). I painted the calipers and the rotors to prevent the appearance of rust, and installed an alarm system. Snow tires on a spare set of stock rims and a hard top are accessories I picked up for the snowy season.

 

I'm basically stock for now. I am swapping out some of the interior stuff for the OEM red stuff to make my own red/black which Honda discontinued in the US.

I am starting to think about sway bars and an x-brace. Mabey a CAI. I would even consider a Supercharger in a couple of years, but even at that point, the exterior will remain stock. No wings, spoilers, strakes, lips, or anything.

I like all the changes to be on the inside.

 

Other than getting factory lip, and maybe a set of 17" mugen MF10's, I'm planning on keeping my stock.


maybe... All up to the great "$"...

 

I have mine stock too except for the MajorHavoc wind things in the headrests and MOST importantly of all, the Coastal Metals front lip protector I put on after I hit a concrete curb. Wise investment for me.

 

I dont even know what is in mine anymore

 

All stock here except for Muz Premium mats. I like the coverage it offers compared to the stock mats. Plus I would rather them get dirty than the carpet and crossbrace. Seems most of my passengers like to dirty up that area of the car.

If I had extra money i would put the front lip and rear spoiler on but i love the S just the way it is. Seems most other do as well from all the stares I get.

 

Forgetting the aesthetic mods there are many valid reasons to modify the car:

- The stock stereo is a piece. Unless you don't listen to music living with the stock stereo is self inflicted pain.

- If you track the car upgraded brake components, tires, suspension, and/or HP mods are desirable, if not required.

Etc.....

Nothing beats perfection right off the assembly line.

 

I consider mine stock.. but I have upgraded speakers and an amp and red brake calipers and the OEM body kit additions and red Honda badges. But that's it.
