TheZ is a beauty and beast stock, but you're gonna add something to say "i did that" sooner or later

I wanted to do mods, wheels, tires, RDX antenna, clear side reflectors...But after careful consideration, I decided to scrap the mods, partly because I'd rather save money and buy a house soon and the other is, I just love the stock look. Only things I'm doing are spacers and the RDX antenna, which are on order. that's about it.
But I did see some sick looking cars on this website, so keep it up fellas.

I changed my antenna, but other than that, I will not be doing anything else to my car.

I have realized that it is fast enough for me, sounds good enough, and I don't feel the need to add performance tires\wheels\exhaust, etc if I never plan on taking it to the track.

for those who like to mod. good for them. It's just not my thing.

if i changed cars as often as you do, then i would probably keep it stock since maintaining value is probably very important.
but i plan on keeping this one until it dies...so i live to do little diy mods. there's just something satisfying about completing something and also improves my driving experience

I'm fairly stock. only mods are a 3.9fd, nismo lsd, and a non staggered 18in wheels/tires setup. Oh and a short antenna.

The one thing I will always leave stock is the body. I've yet to see any body/appearance mod that improved the looks of the car and very many that made it look bad.

You just cant give it a rest, can you? How about for those with busy work schedules and a lifestyle that does not leave too much room for the work required for successful mod deployment? Yep, thats right, either don't do it at all or do it the right way, that takes time and money and (Surprise!) there are actually people that work, take care of their kids and their family and actually give thought to monetary investments.

Now let me ask you this... what is your profession? I am just curious, since you pointed to people keeping their cars stock having no inspiration/creativity. What do you do in life and how do you show your creativity? See, the reason i ask is because i work as a Creative Director of a design studio. (title is meaningless, just illustrating my point since creativity was brought up) I don't go pointing my finger at people saying "you are a [insert profession], you have no creativity, no inspiration, lolz, you suck". Lets just say i have creativity to spare and i try to apply it any chance i get. I honestly do not have to paint my interior or put on flashy wheels. (Again, i am not against it, personal expression is important but don't forget that keeping a vehicle stock is also a way of personal expression) I just don't get the urge, sorry. Does that mean that i am not a creative person? Does that mean that nothing inspires me or i can not create something that would be of inspiration to others? So how does your comment pertain to me, my life, my interests or anything i do?

I am just sick of people using the forums as means to constantly prove their worth by having to put someone else down every chance they get. Do you have low self-esteem? What is the point of what you just posted? What have you accomplished by your remark?

I respect other people, their interests and their choices. You should try doing the same. Works wonders.

i've accomplished what I have set out to do, thank you for your cooperation.

Oh, and i do custom automotive paint, hence why i love modifying.
I may not make as much money as you probably not, but i love what I do and money is not what makes me happy. Not saying that I don't make money either.

and lol@you for taking everything so seriously, hence why people here like to *** with people.

How should i take it if you are basically telling me i have no inspiration or creativity? Oh, thats right, this is a forum, so everything is a huge joke... people like to "***" with people. So convenient isn't it? Whatever man. And just FYI, the only things you actually own in life is your name and your word. Everything else is temporarily borrowed. Just something to think about.
