Keep it stock, or make it your own?

What I can't see is loading your car up with off shore parts of questionable quality... If I want a Chinese car Ill buy one.
While I agree with the sentiment, I have to break this to you. Almost all OEM replacement parts for these things now a days are made overseas somewhere. Unless you’re able to rebuild your car 100 percent from NOS parts, this is the reality. Even the “best” available replacement sheet metal parts, AMD, are stamped in Tiawan.
