The questions are:

1. Your age?
2. Your sex?
3. What kind of car do you own?
4. How has it been modified?
5. What is the result of the modifications?
6. How much have you spent on modifications?
7. Why have you modified your car?
8. Do you find you are more of a target for police?
9. Is modifying your car worth the hassle and cost?
10. Is your car road legal?
11. Why do you think car modifications are so popular and in what age groups?
12. Any other comments.

1. 27.
2. Male (what else? Grin

)
3. '95 holden apollo
4. K&n panel filter, 55/65w inner+ 100w outer xeon gas bulbs, standard '97 camry hub covers. Smile

And a 14" replacement rim and wheel for the 15" that the stupid dealers left as the spare. Just for Singlecam, Mobile 1 oil, BP ultimate fuel, standard toyota auto transmission fluid, and the factory fitted NGK platnium plugs. Smile

5. Result is cleaner + more air through the filter. I can see better at night. Plus I got to know how the bulbs get changed on my car, always a bonus since it was the first time I've had to deal with a semi-sealed system. IMO, whatever you do yourself, you can only gain in the area of experience. Even if you know how, you still gain that little more.
6. I dunno, not too much.
7. Because I can. And what I did was practical.
8. Hell no. Cops don't pick on standard looking camry's.
9. When I do some serious mods, then what I've done now will be worth it more, but right now, yes, because I've done practical things. I have nice bright highbeams, and I don't have to buy a replacement filter every 20,000 clicks. While I'm on that, anyone want a standard panel filter that has done 8000km's?
10. Yea, I think so.
11. I agree with what others have said about it's a hobby thing, and that it's for pulling the potential out of the car that the manufacturer had to skimp on because of practical financial costs to the intended market of the car. I can go on about rice stuff like lancer bodykits and crap, but I'm out of that age group. There seems to be an evolution as you get older as to what you do as well, in general that is, of course there are exceptions.
12. Everyone keep underestimating the camry please. It makes me feel better when I blow them into the weeds. Smile
