Why you ask?
Well, why does there need to be a reason other then just because? I do it because I feel like it, I do it because I love to take somthing and phsyicsally make it better then it was before.
We dont all buy white cars or trucks do we? No, we get paint jobs on them that shows a sense of our own style. We dont all wear the same clothing do we? No, we wear what suits to our own style.
I really dont see where this thread was ment to go. A mod is no different then wearing a tie with a shirt rather no tie. Its somthing that adds that little extra somthing that just makes it to the better.
While not every mod is good to ones opinion, but neither is say that tie previously mentioned on a shirt that doesnt match it.
Its their money, their choice, and your choice to look away.
Somthing else just popped into my mind about this post, those who really do *care* or get bothered about such trivial issues of people personalizing their things. You do see how much you are like that bitter old lady everyone had in their neighborhood that would complain and whine about other peoples issues and not her own.

I'm not trying to be that old lady in the neighborhood, but actually trying to understand the motivation behind it. I'm not saying that modding or accessorizing is bad, what I am wondering is why it's so over the top. I have been in some meetings and seen some product development where the object being sold is the loss leader and the accessories is truly where the market is and the profit.
