This is a very personal choice.
Some people like the car stock some like to tinker and improve it, even if its a little.

I fall in the second group but have learned over the years to have patience and research things. Specialy with this car since things cost so much. I also try to keep mods on this car to a bolt-on basis, so they are easy to take off, a buy from reputable tuners.

Thank God this board exists and we can exchange results and opinions on different mods.

I respect the opinion of those that they like their cars stock as I expect from them to respect and undestand that it's my choice to mod the car.

Just my 2 cents.

HERE HERE! Well said Pepe!

BTW: I the only sound I got from my Mugen headers was a little more sound of the air surge due to a thinner wall of the headers. Exhaust note changed slightly. Now I got a wierd rattle that happens exactly at 7,000 rpms though I think its the stock heat shield.

The car will always have it's highest value as close to Showroom as possible.

Like Pepe said try to limit your mods to things that can be un-done when you sell. For God Sake DON'T cut up your factory hood to do a CAI system!

SAVE all your factory parts (yes even the wizzer cone speakers) for when you sell to a serious collector.

Watch "Dream Car Garage" or "My Classic Car" (on SpeedVision, the worlds best network) to see the PAINS they go through to bring a car back to factory original condition.

This is a car worth keeping my friends. It will be a "Cult Classic".
