How do you fight the Mod Bug?
I have had my G for a little over a year and made some minor mods. Tints, overlays, intake, a hardwired Passport Escort. The last few weeks, everytime I look at a new tread about an exhaust, Hfc, rims, etc. I just want to go on a crazy spending spree! The only thing that holds me back is that my G is a lease and I'm not to mechanically inclined. I would have to have someone install/remove most of these mods when the lease is up.

I have the funds. Half of me says F it and get what you want. The other half says its not worth the investment for something that will last 2 years.

Think back on mods you've done on past cars and regretted--both performance-wise and financially.

The questions is how do you resist the urge to Mod the hell out of you G. Especially if it leased.

if you don't already, get a house mortgage and a girlfriend/wife. That should help slow mods down a bit
Oh yea, Yankees can eat it

They shouldn't call it a mod bug ... it's genetics! I've never owned a totally stock car and I bet 90% of the peeps here are the same.

Mod bug? I have not heard of such a thing.
