Keeping mine stock. I want to keep the warranty this time. I voided it on my last Camaro SS with a tune at around 15000 miles. But the car needed the tune badly between the awful AFM & the really slushy auto trans. With the different drive modes on this car I don't feel I need anything to change it. I just toggle to a more aggressive mode and I think that's awesome! Exhaust wise it sounds great stock & is more than loud enough for my tastes. I've never been a cosmetic modder either. A great looking factory car suits me just fine.

Cosmetic mods are tricky IMHO. Some look great and some can look like a$$ especially when they are pushed too far.

I think it is cool to see how different people are with their rides. Some look really good. Some I cringe at but I'm not the one paying the bill on it.

Some people have the thing torn up and modded days after driving it off the lot and others want to leave it mechanically stock and just do cosmetic things. To each their own.

My thought process with mine was it was getting suspension and exhaust first. That's what I've done. After experiencing the lack of traction and wheel hop it didn't make sense to me to add power if the car couldn't even keep the wheels down on the pavement under stock trim.

I can see your point for being loud. Think I would only get an axle back if anything. That way I can always put the stock mufflers back on if needed.. I am content with stock atm.

Having owned a Jeep Rubicon a lot longer than this Mustang and enjoying Jeep forums as well, a Jeep is the ultimate mod-mobile. So many tinkerers have made their vehicles less drivable and less durable all in the name of the hobby. Don’t even get me started on the addition of cheesy aesthetics (there is a reason Jeeps we’re not produced at the factory with eye lashes on the headlights). I did swap out the Jeep headlights because the factory ones truly did suck. But for my Mustang the only thing truly sucking for me is my Sync 3 (incessant pop ups up at start up every time), but all in all, I don’t find any mechanical part of my Mustang that is really bad. Over the years I’ve grown to appreciate the virtues of “stock”.

There is a difference between modification and customization, the former, in my mind being mechanical changes for improved performance, the latter being looks, although rims can fall into both I suppose. I have no interest in mods, as I’m happy with the performance of the car, except for the Mishimoto catch can awaiting installation. About the only thing I may do is source a Pony package grille (I like the spears and corral) for the front and a tri-bar pony for the rear. This may change when I retire and the car is no longer a daily driver.

Exactly. I believe in modification to improve upon the Mustang's weak areas or to make the car ride, drive, corner, or accelerate to your liking. Modify all you want but don't compromise the integrity of the car. I think customization should be kept subtle and tasteful. Remember that one day you may need to sell it. Some people tent to get carried away with this stuff and don't know when to stop.

For me I plan on keeping my Mustang looking mostly stock. I love the way it looks. All I have left on the list of cosmetic mods is window tint, black badges, and black roof vinyl. The only things I've done to the car are PPF film and Rockblokz stone protectors (awesome product BTW). Modification wise I have these future changes in mind: MGW shifter, lowering springs, and lighter, easier to clean rims. I have the active exhaust which absolutely rocks so I will not be touching the exhaust system.

Meh, my 2018 F150 can stay power wise stock with its warranty but I bought this Mustang to ENJOY so it's Procharged and I'm loving every minute of it. ;)

ALLSTOCK.

except the clutch spring. steeda clutch spring makes a huge difference.

It's smarter financially not to mod, but I usually modify them anyway. Too much fun. Plus there are usually a few things any car can use. They are built for the masses, and we are individuals.

My daily is a Honda Accord.... That way I can mod and break the mustang and not have to worry about transportation...
