Anyone else prefer stock?

[ATLalien]

Aftermarket spoilers, scoops, vents? No thanks.
Giant, deep dish wheels? Methinks not.
Over the top 'skunk' stripes? not even the stock ones.
Logo wraps? Verped a little just thinking about it.
And please, please, no logo sunstrip or whatever across the windshield.

Of course, I fully support anyone's right to customize their ride however they see fit, but mine will always "look" factory stock (ok maybe a window tint...). Even though there might be a few extra goodies under the hood, it won't be advertised.

Any other crotchety fans of the stock appearance out there?

I plan on keeping mine just as I bought it. If you asked me 15years ago the answer would have been different

Oh, this is a cosmetic thing.

Hello

New Owner here with a Base GT.

I feel you on the pretty much stock look.

I did get my windows tinted and since I have a base GT, I do not have the ambient lighting (Which I wish I did) so I got a LED installed under both Footwells (one for each). It gives it a nice little glow to the area...not tacky or anything.

One other thing I would like to do though (and technically it could still be considered stock but an upgrade for me) is to get the same bumper/valence as GT Premium because I would like the slightly more aggressive look of the rear.

Other then that, I like the wheels that came with the Black Accent Package.

Yeah I thought the same thing...until I joined this website.

I tinted the windows and put a cat back on. Just clay barred, opti-coated last weekend. Tomorrow a nice coat of wax. I will get some nice aftermarket wheels and a MGW shifter in the spring.

I think when I trade up for the GT... I will put an exhaust and that's it. I don't bring it to the track and it's really just an everyday car. Atleast it will be plenty quick and plenty roar.

Yep, I'm all for the stock look, and even performance. Personally, I might do some minor performance mods to mine overtime. But the only thing that I will 100% do, when I can afford it, is a catback.

I like the stock look. I'll probably only add a light tint (35%) and will eventually get some better wheels (something like the PP black wheels).

I'm with you OP, tint is the only deviation from a bone stock OEM appearance for me. My friend has a 06 Mustang with everything but the kitchen sink bolted on his car, 100% opposite of my taste.

If it's a money reason you might want to not be in this forum lol. Every time I go on here I see something else I want. It's an addiction for me. I just can't stop buying parts lol

I was not going to touch one thing on this car performance or costmetic. My build list because of this site totals over 8 grand and I'm staying NA.
