lots of good comments here. Sometimes when you buy the cars the racer parts are already there. Kudos to the people that make these "saves". My CSP car had a tubular k member and all kinds of other stuff on it that got pitched. I was more than happy to buy the car with the stock parts all back on it. I think the main focus here is to keep things original as possible but little minor things are no big deal. Things like putting on black wheels instead of silver is not an issue with me at all. Now if you want to roll the fenderwells and put a narrowed 9 inch under it...It could possibly get ugly.
