I think some people are just as passionate about maintaining their cars in stock form as you are about modding, so it is easy. When I've had the temptation to mod, I bought the Honda OEM Euro floor mats, or took my time finding the perfect OEM hardtop. Or I do some detailing work and appreciate the car exactly as Honda envisioned it. I take my modding desires out on my Harley! 
When I look at a picture of my car like this, I just cannot bring myself to make any mods. And now I live near San Francisco, with a steep driveway angle into the garage, so the wheel gap stays!

1. I copied your Suzuka blue pic and put it as my desktop background; it looks exactly like my 04! Thanks!

Taken during a fun-run with some friends. FWIW, everyone's car was stock!
Ok, I lied the Corvette had a modified exhaust...

some people's definition of stock is crazy. 
to me, stock is OEM everything except wearable items.
ie: tires, wiper blades, fluids...
i purchased my s 100% stock. i have purchased a brembo bbk for it and a set of volk ce28's that i have yet to install. once installed, i certainly won't consider the car stock any longer. i will keep the oem items to return to stock if i ever decide to sell the s. aftermarket joints get sold separately...

One of the previous owners installed an extra DC socket under the dash and wired an iPod connector to the stock stereo. That's all I've got, and I plan on removing both – although I'll also be replacing the head unit and stock speakers at some point.

In my opinion it is going to be very hard for people to stay bone stock due to Honda not making parts after 10 years or so. What happens when the top rips and you no longer can get a O.E.M. Top? (We should petition Honda to keep making all OEM Parts for the S2 or at least the parts that are known to wear out!)

The exhaust sound is perfect. Could imagine (or stand) it being louder.
BTW I'm 55 years old which is prolly why
