How many left 'stock"
"looking" stock and actually being stock are 2 different things.
The state of Pennsylvania and my insurance carrier have no idea what I have done to my car. To them it's just a 2000 S2000 that's black and has 60K miles on it.
Where do you get your numbers?

Tough to define "stock" unless it's truly "bone stock"
I'd define it as including mods that are easily reversed--- like radios and wheels and such (especially if one has kept the OEM parts).
To me, if someone has bolted on a picnic table rear wing or wide fenders or done stuff like removing their cruise control to "clean up their engine bay", it's no longer stock or easily converted back without doing things like filling holes and repainting
It's the folks who have done the latter who may enjoy their mods now but will really take a big hit if they try to sell their car. Tough to sell unless the buyer specifically wants a car with those mods.
(you can tell I'm biased---as a long time owner, it's very sad to see newer buyers treat the S2K as the "new civic" and rice it out rather than enjoy the car as Honda built it)
