Should I mod?

I will have my EVO for 3 years in January and now im thinking of keeping her for the long run, maybe even give her to my son (currently 6 years old) when he starts to drive, who knows how cars will be then?

we'll if these are my plans and my car is 100% stock with only 14000 miles, will it be better to just keep her stock for long term use, or does it matter?

Go Ahead and mod ! .. in Performance and Exterior ! ..
gotta make it fast, to compete with the new sports cars coming in 08.

and looks, to make it look good, as age passes and not keep the old look forever.

The question isn't "if you should mod"; the question is "what mods should I get"?

Like everyone has said once you start it's hard to stop. It's like you turn into a junkie. However in ten years the cars are going to be faster, so you might as well mod it. Your son will thank you later!

+2. You can not go wrong with either company and if you start out simple, you will be able to notice and appreciate all the different mods you do.

Keep it stock. It'll be worth more and last longer in the long run.

I vote no because from "my" experience most Evo owners can hardly drive them stock. Spend that money on trackdays, autoX, or driving schools.

Would you rather be the guy with a fast car or the car with a fast driver?

But thats just my opinion.
