I agree with 18secFerio on this one. Generally speaking, I think OEM is the way to go...except under the hood and behind the wheels. This isn't to say I dislike any exterior mods, but you don't see too many nice clean cars on the road. At least around where I live, you'll see a car that looks like ass, but is all go...or a car that looks like ass, and is *trying* to be all show.

honda_pilot makes a good point about shifting trends. It is kind of obnoxious to see anything Americanized...and to stop at Checker for some oil and be appalled by the lame-ass "racing" shit they sell, just because it's popular.
