Neither am I "ashamed" that the car is badged a Chrysler: They have been a design leader for the last fifteen years or so - Who else would have had the audacity to build a Crossfire or a Prowler or a Viper? I also enjoy the fact that I am the benefactor of hand- built Mercedes engine for much less money than the Mercedes owners had to pay. I feel that the only necessary modifications would be those that make the car "better" (like dustless brake pads.) I like everything as it is; it is plenty fast; it is intense (why would anyone make it more so with a sprint booster?); the silver console sets off the otherwise drab monochrome interior nicely; hell, I even like the cup holder.

I guess change makes the world go round. People with curly hair want straight hair, people with straight hair want curly hair. Blondes want to be brunetes and brunetes want to be blonds. Breast augmentation, breast reduction, and on and on. Some people want to make their car unique. The same people that want to remove the strakes would add them if they weren't there. This is an observation not a criticism.
