Why do I hardly ever see any 96-04 GT cobra ,mach 1 cars on the road that have at lest the all stock look?

my personal opinion is because everyone wants to set there car apart from everyone elses and personalize it, just like a room you live in etc. It is a way of personal expression. Also competition, you see a nice car that use to look like a stock car and it makes you want to do something like that or better ya know just my .02

there are so many options you can choose from to set yours apart from everyone elses, but it will probably become a collectible some day and be worth alot when it is just stock so to each is own

It's all a matter of personal taste I suppose.
I enjoy working on my car and modifing it to my own personal tastes. I've got a grip of perfectly good stock Mustang parts that came off my car sitting in the shed. There is nothing wrong with adding a few goodies to make the car look, ride and perform better.



I have holes in my pockets and have a hard time holding on to money so might as well spend it on the car.[8D]

BLING BLING BABY, lol. I love to modify cars, no matter what it is. I always have and always will. It's in my blood. As Barry Meguiar says, I must be CAR CRAZY!! But yeah to each his own. Everyones different. Some people want stock, some mild, some wild some extreme.

what sitnlo said is right, but it's also because the stock wheels look like crap, and the saleen wing and front bumper are SO much better. besides, who can resist teh DEEP DISH!!!

Because like everyone else said it's fun to mod our cars and be different. I hate having a car that everyone else has and I want mine to look different. Plus we all hate the FX4 package that came on our cars from the factory (car needs to be lowered). But have fun with your car anyway you want.
