im kinda with ss on this one. i think it depends on the car involved. i think hugely modifying a limited edition is really silly, and would rather keep it faithful. that said, i got rid of the dodgy coil on mine ....

but for standard old, run of the mill type vehicles, it's great to see the vision some people have, and also the ability to make the dream a reality.
