"Stealth" Mods, or Out and Proud?

Question for all you modders:

Do you prefer keeping your cars looking as stock as possible when planning your projects, or do you want your modifications to be obvious so that other people come up to you to ask about your weird-looking car, and you can start conversations about ecomodding/hypermiling?

Everything I've done to my current car is pretty unnoticeable. Mud flap delete, 45psi tires, and my grille block is black foam weatherstripping that is barely visible.
But I almost miss the way people used to ask about the grille block and wheel skirts that I fashioned out of packaging tape on my old car.
