I always thought of my car as having light mods, but I guess I fall under heavy mods according to this poll.

I guess I'm heavy mods since I've gone forced induction. Suspension, brakes and who knows what are up next

the best way not to draw attention is to have a black car and drive at night with all your lights off...no one will see you at all even if they hear you lol

become one with the darkness..embrace the darkness

Don't forget the plastidip on the head and tail lights.

much easier method would be to drain all your blinker fluid...with plastidip a small hint of light might shine through if you don't apply even coats

I am not sure if some of you guys can relate to me or I am just weird.
When i was younger, I loved loud exhaust and slammed cars. Omg everytime I saw civic hatch back lowered with rims were just beautiful to me.

Now I am in 30s and I do not like cars fixed up too much.
I really like stock looking cars or some might call them "sleepers"
I am starting to think about my image also, something I never cared about. I sometimes wonder what my nephews or younger cousins would think if I drove slammed car. (Scare of my wife mostly)

My car looks all stock from outside. Which is just perfect for me.
Consider me light mod.

geezerbrzeezer · 06-28-2016, 07:21 PM

Light - exhaust, springs, wheels, leds, grille, blah blah blah. It looks so good out of the box now I can't even bring myself to consider a body kit, a normally mandatory must have.

I'm addicted to this car like no other I've owned.

But, if I had my druckin' futhers, I'd have to ramp up my vote as she needs just a weeny bit of boost.

mikool · 06-28-2016, 07:23 PM

I have mostly all the bolt-on mods you can do except FI and coilovers, so I guess this puts me in light mods?

Mim · 06-28-2016, 08:03 PM

Going off what's in my sig for now I'd say light mods. I keep her polished and showroom clean with no spoiler or body kit and otherwise stock looking bar the TOMS' clear brake lights, for that Subaru family look over stock. The AU cars have JDM exhaust tips so it looks beautiful from all angles.

I've come from loud GM V8's in my younger years. Now I'm enjoying the wolf in sheep's clothing with the sleeper look. Quite a few twin's on the road and, being more or less stock looking, I find it weighs less on my mind with drawing less negative attention whether parked or in traffic (if that makes sense).

Also being a DD I need reliable mods so am being painfully careful to enhance the base package and mitigate any negatives.

Light mod, because light weight
