Why do you modify a high end car?
Just posing a question. Please keep the hater-ade to a minimum
Why do you personally modify your car? Why take an expensive luxury performance oriented car that a company has spent years engineering and start taking it apart the day you bring it home? I could understand wanting to make a few mods on a Ford Festiva or a Dodge Neon, but a Lexus? I'm not referring to a few cosmetic mods or anything, but the more invasive mods like intakes, exhausts, suspension mods, etc. Whats the rationale?

Lex5150, dont matter what car you choose to mod, thing is you start with the best car you can afford to start with and go from there. Has nothing to do with luxury/sports/economy, your either a modder or your not.
I wouldnt even bother modding a Neon... (other than replace the factory spkrs with something better) OH and 5% tint so no one can see its me driving it...

Also, I for one just modify anything just because it is fun. I think personalizing ones car is just plain old fun to do. People paint as a hobby, people build arts and crafts, I just modify my cars as a hobby. It doesn't matter if it is my moped, or my Lexus. I always do something different to it. It could be simple or extreme, but it never stays 100% stock. It is like buying a house. You can paint the rooms the color you want, add the furniture you want, accessorize it the way you want. It makes your house your home.

The vast majority of Lexus owner's don't mod their cars. People that are inclined to do mods, to be unique, have fun, make a personal statement, or want to get an off the rack car perfected to their taste, tend to show up here. So you aren't getting an accurate sampling of the average IS owner here.
You should see what "higher end" Porsche owners do to their cars.
