Re: New Poll Re: Mods or No Mods
Would "plastic chrome decorative pieces" include the chrome hood scoop? -
Re: New Poll Re: Mods or No Mods
Absolutely Charlie unless it was a model on which it was standard. i.e. a NM.Originally posted by SixPac View Post
My '04-'05 16 spoke wheels while OEM for 04-05 are a mod as the sit on my '03. Agree?
I was amazed at the Borla Club thread that lists 140 members who have changed to Borlas. Add the members who have removed the resonators or added other muffler brands and I expect this percentage to be quite high!Last edited by wcoates; May 28, 2015, 07:40 PM.Bill Coates-Canfield, Ohio

Re: New Poll Re: Mods or No Mods
I would agree Bill. On the 03 that would be a mod.Originally posted by wcoates View PostComment

Re: New Poll Re: Mods or No Mods
We've obviously got good taste, Charlie. No matter the color of the car - all three of these mods make the car better than stock in my opinion (yours too evidently).

New caps on the valve stemsWe're lighter. We're faster. If that don't work, we're nastier.
We're gonna make history.Comment

Re: New Poll Re: Mods or No Mods
Well, I only ans'd exhaust mods because I didn't interpret the hood scoop to be a chrome decorative piece - my bad.Comment

Re: New Poll Re: Mods or No Mods
The 'Plastic Chrome decorative pieces' category might have included stainless steel trim to be more complete. Many of the exterior trim mods are stainless, not plastic.Comment

Re: New Poll Re: Mods or No Mods
Well I have added Nieman Marcus wheels to the Thunderbird Blue 2002, 2005 seven spoke chrome and center caps to the WW 2003, and added chrome and chrome center caps to the 16 spokes on the PCR. I have painted the lower portions of the door panels on partial interiors to match the seat inserts. 2003 red and 2005 white. I have added Homelink to both of the 2003's and that is as far as I have gone. I guess it is too late to add items to the poll, radios, paint, seats, tops, suspension, and etc. And that reminds me I have painted a Performance White hardtop, Coral, 007 and dyed a tan top dark red, Dusk Rose.02 Nieman Marcus-SS htp-f/sil. #165 - 21 states-DC

Re: New Poll Re: Mods or No Mods
Rick thanks for taking the time to re post this poll. And Phil is right about the word 'plastic'. The only plastic add-on I think I have is around the rear view mirror. I'd guess that I'm in the over modded group. Let's not forget raising the back end that would probably only get one vote. As to 'active members', Spence is probably right in saying 'who cares?' When it's a slow day at the office minds tend to wander. My guess would have been about half that amount, around 250. Let's see how many post to this 'exciting' re-poll...

Re: New Poll Re: Mods or No Mods
Greg, when you read a thread it goes in one ear and out the other. Again you have made a post that says "Charlie" made a statement in another thread (membership) that says "Who Cares".
I made no such statement. If you don't go back and edit the above post I will.Comment

Re: New Poll Re: Mods or No Mods
Charlie....I caught that as well. Was actually surprised by the 'who cares' comment, especially after last weeks sermon.Comment
