To me it depends on your purpose for the car, if it's show/investment (which I will never do myself) then straight stock is the way to go, but if you want to drive the **** out of the thing, safety upgrades are ideal and sensible. I added 3-pt retractor seatbelts, halogen low beams, possibly headrests but I'm reconsidering that as well, etc. I personally don't like changing interior lights to LED on vintage cars simply because it hides the beauty of those gauges, but if it helps you see them better go for it. In short, if it's hard for the average person to know it's not original to the car I'm ok with it, if it's glaringly modern then I give it more thought. It's a bit like people with C43 AMGs that switch to ceramic pads even tho the cars didn't come with them, why not?
