I think that its ridiculous to say that the way the designers built the car is the way the car "should" be. Car designers build their cars the way they do for many reasons, mainly marketing. That is why there are different levels of trim.

Also to say that the way the car designed visually is "ideal" is nonsense who its to say that the way I like my car to look is "ruining" it? It is all a matter of taste and opinion, which is what this forum is mostly about.

Exactly, every regular car is always going to be a compromise. It a) has to appeal to a wide audience, b) it has to be relatively inoffensive and compromised because of that target audience, and c) there is a certain issue called cost targets. That is why after market products produce such a drastic difference over OEM parts, these after market companies can focus on each component to maximize its potential and it shows when you can gain 20rwhp with a simple CAI or cat-back exhaust.

Many enthusiasts don't like compromise, like myself, therefore we get rid of the compromising parts.
