How about "none of the above" I do what, I like & don't care if anyone else likes it or not, sometimes the best of factory stuff spanning a few years, for that model... I've had cars or trucks in every fashion, from bone stock to Pro/mod... If I had to pick one of the above, It would be #3, fit's kind of, I can always make it better, I've kind of been a day 2 type guy most of my car life... I like to keep stock body lines unaltered, on almost all my cars {Unless it's a race car}, always better handling larger wider performance tires tucked under, never sticking out or rubbing & lowered when it fits the type/style of build & I almost always improve, ignition, fuel system, brakes, shocks, handling/suspension & HP {allot of cylinder head work & camshaft/valve-train changes}, trans TQ converter or Clutch, I can't help myself there... I almost always put on nice rims & tire unless it has stock rims I like already, example my 99 Dakota SLT 4x4 5.2ltr. daily driver, it just has bigger 32"x11" tires, 1.7:1 Harlen Sharpe roller rockers, Hypertec/Programmer tuner, Flowmaster 3" cat back exhaust, Edelbrock shorty chrome headers {when I finally install them}, better AEM air box & gauze filter, AEM T/B swirl spacer, better brakes, drilled & slotted rotors, larger Monroe Gas shocks, Royal Purple full synthetics oils thru out... It looks pretty stock from the exterior, but runs far better than it ever did stock... I like to think, I do what Plymouth/Dodge should have done to begin with... If it's a really rare car, like a Hemi or 6bbl/Six-Pack car {that isn't a race car}, I would probably keep it as close to stock as possible now, maybe just shocks, sway bars, rims, tire & igniton.... But years long ago I would have altered them too, I've mellowed some lately...LOL...but I rarely would spend that kind of money, on a trailer queen or garage ornament, that I couldn't, shouldn't or wouldn't hardly ever drive, that ain't me, why own a car/truck, you can't or wont drive... I know I'm not the purist type, that thinks ever car needs to be saved, or left alone, IMHFO some or most are destined to be altered, that's for damn sure...
