    Default how long did you keep ur car stock for??

    hey guys

    as the title states, easy question...

    when you bought your commodore how long did you wait/how long before you started modifying the car?

    ive just bought my first commodore and after driving a manual, very low, super loud, stiff as toyota ae86 i find myself enjoying the soft, auto ride of a stock vt commodore, i do have plans for it, but everytime i think of lowering it, rims, sound system, i also find myself thinking 'i like it being standard at the moment', bear in mind ive only had it 3 days haha

    anyway, i just wanna see what other people have done and so on

    cheers guys, post away

    My first one I bought a week before my 18th. As soon as I got into the driveway I pulled off the towbar and rear window louvres, then a week later it had a cd player in it. Things got a bit crazy from there...

    This current one lasted about 5mins until the stereo went in, then a couple weeks before wheels/exhaust and the rest was gradual

    HaHa, before I took possession..., I knew what the interior color was, and which worn trim need replacing, had them waiting to remove those offending items...

    Then I started obsessing...
    It just gets worse from there...

    have fun!

    Mine remained bog stock for a while actually - besides head unit... Maybe 8-10 months? But that wasn't a choice, that was cash related.
