What constitutes a "mod" on this forum?

karmasabish · 09-28-2007, 07:46 PM

i noticed there are alot of threads where the "mods" done to a car include things light aluminum pedals, or light bulbs, stuff like that.

I've always been of the mindset that a mod should be something like "cams, ecu, full coilover suspension" - stuff like that?

so that begs the questions, what is a real modification? is putting aluminum pedals on the car the same as putting on a cat back exhaust?

please discuss.

Yes.

NoTrash · 09-28-2007, 08:21 PM

anything you modify

Anytime you add something that did not come with the car, would be considered a mod...whether it's OEM, or aftermarket....

...so technically stickers are "mods".

yes. its like the paperweight mod on a desk. you increase the weight of your car by xxx pounds and therefore slow your car.

Think of it as mod categories. You got performance mods (the examples you gave), aesthetic / exterior mods (body kits, etc.), interior mods (radar detector hardwiring, LEDs)... car wash mods (Zaino, Klasse SG/AIO) - j/k

Anything from tints to suspension I guess; pretty self explanatory. As No Trash stated: mods = anything you modify.
