Outside of swapping to all season tires, mine is fully stock and pretty much how I plan to keep it.

keeping mine stock. It will be my long term daily driver (as soon as my winter rat dies). I also bought an extended warranty, so I don't want to give them any excuse to not fix something if there's a problem. I may do some very minor cosmetic changes. Thinking about painting the hood scoop a different color.

I bought mine with the mindset of keeping it stock with the extended warranty but got the bug quickly after taking delivery of the car. I have only put black lug nuts on the car and that has tamed the itch for now but you can't stop it, you can only hope to contain it. I was able to get through 168k on my last car with wheels, Mugen short shifter, Canadian console (with sliding cover) and Razo heavy shift knob and I was happy with the car.

Bought the car with the intent to mod. My prior cars were modified integra and s2000....

So far the car is completely stock... I was actually expecting the mod bug to hit hard but as i get older I’ve been more lazy/ more of a tight wad with my wad with my money!

An exhaust would be first thing on my list if I do get the itch though... way too quiet.

the Type R is the fastest car I ever own, so I wont put any performance mods on it. The only cosmetic mods I will put on is touch up paint, a clear bra and Ceramic Pro coating on it.

I am trying to hold back as much as I can from modding the car but there is still an urge to buy an exhaust, downpipe, wheels and bov but I am doing my best to resist from modding the car. It’s already an amazing car straight from the factory.

I have no interest in modding this perfectly good car from factory.
Don't want to affect resale value either.

Mine is stock except for a few minor addons. The only mods I'll do to this car is a catback exhaust, lowering spring and wheels and maybe intakes. No power mods for me. 300hp is more than enough. I spent over 15k modding my 1st car, and I'll never do that again. I would rather spend money on a different car instead.

Sorry I'm late, but with the exception of optional items that the dealer had already installed, I plan on keeping everything stock. Maybe downsize the wheels for taller tires and an oil catch can. That's pretty much it for me. I plan on keeping this car forever, just as I did with my EP3.

I thought I would leave it totally stock. Now it’s stock except sound deadening, mudflaps and illuminated sill protectors.

Tinted windows on mine but otherwise I will be keeping it stock. Good chance I will put Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires on it when the Contis run out so I can go a little longer between new sets of tires.
I got some ps4s tires for mine after the stock ones hit around 10k miles. I got them in 255/30/20. I got a killer deal of $950 for them.

how does the larger profile affect the ride/handling?

thinking about getting p4s or just going cheap and getting something like the hankook evos. Could use the money left over for other mods.
