When does it stop? Did you not look at the car when you bought it, or did you go to a junkyard and saw potential in this car. The car is brand new, and no offense if you have the money to do it and it fits your style, but in my opinion it's wrong.
I mean why not get another car then if you don't like anything the way it is...

Because they like the car and would like to improve it? Their is nothing wrong with making the car your own. Some people want to stick out. IMO cars shouldnt be kept stock if you see something that can be imrpoved or something you like that isnt over the top.
Sometimes people go over the top and add body kits that have no functionality. Some people are rice. Stuff like that would make anyone SMH. But if you do little things like tint, rims, and add a couple of bolt ons their is nothing wrong with that. Adding a non functional body kit or making your car look nothing like how it did before, like people who would buy an integra and put a completely wacky body kit on their that looks nothing like an integra after its done, is a good example.
Do you really think people who do that stuff just do it for the hell of it? You never thought that maybe they autocross and would like to improve their time? Most people who add parts and change things ussually have a purpose for it. Even if you dont really have a purpose it is always nice to have a couple extra whp and torque. Nothing you listed can be bought or added when you buy the car. If it can it ussually is at a huge mark up at a dealership. Like 1000 dollars for very little tint and the sticker bra. You can do that your self for much cheaper and better. Opti coat and a place that specializes in stuff like that, you will maybe spend half of what you would at the dealership. Anything that is added on at the dealership is ussually a rip off and can be done for much cheaper. So people are just being smart and saving some extra money which is nothing wrong with that. You get another car your still going to need to add tint, rims, shift nob, HID's, basically anything you listed it will still have to be done. Things like turbos can be made much better then buying it with a factory turbo also.
Also this car was developed by Toyota/Subaru made sure that if people did decide to mod it that it would be a little easier. In Perrins blog they said some things about how this car had a couple things that made it as if they knew people were going to add things like oil temperature/boost gauges. This car was made/developed by them with modders in mind at the time of development.
