Performance mods, yes...But when people are making a list of mods done to the vehicle then everything matters. Modifications are anything modded in one way shape or form to the vehicle. Hell, I post window tint in my mods lists, but I have sections such as...
Performance;
GM stg2
Blah blah
Interior;
Window tint
Blah blah
Exterior
You get the point..Now, when someone says that their performance mods include tint, shaving emblems, and putting a shorty anntenae on then I can totally agree. lol

The definition of Modification: the state of being modified; partial alteration.
Tint is a modification. Now if someone is posting a race thread and lists window tint when someone asks for a list of mods, that is a little stupid as the tint is not a modification in the sense that the person was asking.

would the chips off my front bumper be a mod? it is deflecting the airflow around my car and giving me more front downforce?? 
Man that's so ghey. Everyone knows that tinting windows adds weight due to all that thick ass film - thus slowing your car in the 1/4 by .001sec for every 5 degrees of tint.
Now removing your heavy front license plate bracket and adding light weight bumper plugs improves your car's aerodynamics, increasing your top speed by .001%; thus belonging on a performance oriented mod list.

Also, the tread worn off your tires can also be claimed as a weight savings mod. I think running your tires low on air is pushing it though. Though you can claim missing valve stem caps as weight savings mods too. They count double because they represent both unsprung and rotating weight, just as tire wear does.

Yes it would. You see it would create the "boundry layer" effect, allowing your car to slip through the air more easily, but only if the chips were arranged in a random pattern and are in random shapes and sizes. Random placed bug splatters on the windhield have a similar, but lesser effect. Plus, don't discount the fact that all that paint removed must save at least .001 oz in weight also improving acceleration.
