exactly.....thats when the world of modifying gets me - you need to do what YOU want - trust me, I did some bad things to my Polo, everyone else thought it was but I LOVED it, if anything being more individual and not going with the crowd gets you noticed.
I saw a shift from being max-power'ed out, then it shifted to Euro for quite some time and now people are heading towards OEM. Its like fashion, trends are in and out all the time.
heres evidence.......my polo at its best.....

Then I soon got bored of how it looked similar to other cars....so this happened.....

So yeh, it was the most different looking car there but people although they tend to stick with the crowds....do admire individuality.
I say go for what you like - afterall you have to drive it and if your spending money and planning on having it for the long haul - why the hell not?!
