Why 6th genners seem afraid of modifying?

I have been on this forum for almost three years and have been fairly heavily involved with lots of different modifications. Recently, I have had more of a chance to experience other forums since two of my kids have cars now - 2002 Celica TRD Action Package, and 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT V6. I have explored those forums (newcelica.org and newtiburon.com) as well as BMW, Evolution, VW, Honda, Mercedes and other forums. I have noticed that the 6th Generation Maxima forum seems to be clearly the most conservative with respect to modifications, as I was wondering why.
For example, if you take a Cook's tour of these other forums, you will notice these guys modifying everything we do, plus interiors, new seats, steering wheels, paint jobs and much more. This includes BMW and Mercedes guys so its not like luxury cars are excluded. It seems that here everyone gets rims and maybe a drop, perhaps a G35 spoiler or 07 Max spoiler, perhaps some TVs and sound systems, lights, intake, cat back, and thats about it. There are always exceptions, myself included, but it is sort of surprising to me.

I hope thoughtful people like Light, Chern, Ramberg, Kamski and others respond and share your thoughts.

Can't say I fall in to the conservative category, I have almost 9 grand into my Max.

The only thing limiting me is funds (thanks to my 3 year old son ((not complaining- he's well worth it))), but whenever I have some extra $, it immediately goes into my car. New Cattman exhaust and IM spacers on the way!!
