Mod is a 1960s British youth subculture that was revived in later decades and continues today on a smaller scale. Focused on music and fashion, the subculture has its roots in a small group of London-based stylish young men in the late 1950s who were termed modernists because they listened to modern jazz.[1]
Significant elements of the mod subculture include fashion (often tailor-made suits); music (including soul, ska, and R&B); and motor scooters (usually Lambretta or Vespa). The original mod scene was associated with amphetamine-fuelled all-night dancing at clubs.[2]
Mods engaged in brawls with rockers in the 1960s, which led to many news articles.[3] The mods and rockers conflict led sociologist Stanley Cohen to coin the term moral panic in his study Folk Devils and Moral Panics,[4] which examined media coverage of the mod and rocker riots in the 1960s.[5]
There was a mod revival in the United Kingdom in the late 1970s, which was followed by a mod revival in North America in the early 1980s, particularly in Southern California, Vancouver, and Toronto, Canada.[6][7]

Floor mats are mods! I gained like 15 awhp from them.

I've seen people list Vintesse control as a mod, so yeah, in that case, a new floor mat is a mod.

I say anything that modifies the car from its stock form is a mod! Floor Matt mod was my very first, followed by the tint mod...

I now have more mods than I thought that I had. Ceramic window tint, LLoyds custom floor matts, Rx catch can (clean and dirty), clear bra, blacked out bow ties, (4) 1LE emblems, magnetic gold drain plug, Bo White TB, CAI Inc intake, brake/clutch resivoir seperator, BMR trailing arms, subframe/upper control bushings, and skip shift eliminator! Yee Ha!!!

For those that did the key recall, you guessed it, that is a mod!!!
