Default To Mod or Not to Mod Poll

How many of you (like myself),debate completely modding your vehicle. I know I am torn between waiting until the warranty expires first. But then I also think it would be better in the long run to mod it out while she has little milage so as the engine breaks in with the mods.

So I guess my poll is to find out how many of you waited or did it right away.

My thougts are ?

Well, I at least waited till I had 2300 miles to get turbo charged. But the smaller things like cai and tune were a week after I bought the car.

Gotta do it. It's supposed to be a sports car, not a revving canoe.

Planned to keep her completely stock for at least the first6 months or so. Partially due to the bad influences (and you all know who you are.....) on this forum, I ordered a C&L CAI + Tune from Brenspeed last night. Probably won't do much elseuntil the warranty expires, but then it'll be supercharger time. Famous last words, right?

Man that's the best part of this is to do Mods for performance and to make it your own. I started the first week I had mine and I still have parts to put on now and looking for more

Switched from V6 bumpers to GT bumpers at 2000 miles.... added duals GT exhaust and AEM brute force CAI a week later... and the list goes on and on... its has never stopped evolving, and thats the way I like my cars...

My battery had a bad cell, checked it wih a hydrometer, took it out & took it to dealer, the service manager said they needed the whole car & were willing to tow it. I said no way, just test the battery its bad. Bottom line I bought an Interstate Megatron when I got home instead of swapping back my UDP & returning to stock. I'll keep that battery though in case I have a real good reason to make a warranty claim, then I'll put it back in let them check it out.
