For my two cents worth. I like the clean smooth look, which means NO gas filler opening in the hood....the hood lines are okay but I think I would prefer NO lines. I also will take the DMC logo off the front fake grille....I prefer the stock side trim...no wide decals. I have done a LOT of customizing of cars, but I prefer the D like it is. I think it would be difficult to improve on the design even after 20 years. I prefer an automatic to a stick shift.....I have had a LOT of stick shift sports cars and older ones and enjoyed them....however I am older now and tired of rowing thru the gears all day long. I used to get a charge out of dropping into second in my 65 Corvair Corsa Turbo and blasting thru an S turn on a side street enroute to work in the olden days! I like the lowered front end but mine is standard so far and probably will remain that way. I prefer the gray upholstery....to me the black feels like it "closing in on me". Everyone to their own opinion and likes and dislikes. NOTHING is best for everyone! Murray Vin: 05962 Lic: DMC-XII
