Modding is cool but please dont fall into the trap of modding for the sake of it.

Ive seen so many, like you say addicted that just end up modding their car for the sake of it. I agree with modding for a reason.. not just because you can.

Some cars have hundreds of mods and go/stop/handle/look amazing. Others have just as many but are complete sheds IMO.. just check out Max Power/Fast car etc.

Others have hardly any mods at all and are such a better package.

I like to think as every mod on my car is there for a genuine reason.

These are my mod ethics lol

Lol

Considering my extensive list i dont think 2 "looks cool" mods is bad.

You could argue its lighter but i bet id save more weight by having a good crap
