What’s your philosophy toward upgrading or modding cars? Do you try to retain some of the original character of the car or do you max upgrades for fun out to max out the capabilities?

I try to treat the categories somewhat realistically. For instance, for a road car competing in a clubman race I’ll add upgrades a hobbyist owner might reasonably to do a road car such as adding sport brakes, tires, and suspension, maybe a two-way LSD, exhaust and air intake or a turbo but that’s about it.

How much do you mod or upgrade cars after you buy them? Do they come stock with reasonable approximation of the actual performance of the real thing? If so, wouldn’t modding them a lot turn them into something entirely different and less realistic? Do you end up making your cars pretty similar with mods so there’s less discernible difference in the performance?

All of this is presuming you want to preserve some of the character that makes each car unique.

What product have people used to prevent scratches on a black tank from jacket zippers? I haven't found the right kind of thing on RevZilla and the Triumph accessories website is useless.
