Good thing this is Vintage. This question caused a lot of trouble in S2000 Talk a while ago.
Anyway, I have rear speakers, painted my calipers silver, installed a Fumoto Oil Valve, a 6 cd changer in the trunk and velcro'd a little clock to my radio door. I'm thinking about an x-brace.
Stock or Mod? I don't know but I'm pretty happy with it.

I'd think subtle mods that make people enjoy their car's more would be even better. Keep all the OEM parts and maybe add a nice, not so loud exhaust and some lightweight 17 inch wheels.
Then you get into the mod craze and you go cookoo, spending $5000+ on your car.
So, we come to conclusion that if you plan to mod your car, better have a lot of cash in handy.

In my younger days I always added mods to my car (we use to call it hot-rodding or souping it up) but I find with my toys now I like to keep them stock.
