Many of the things you want to do, especially appearance mods, are like mods to a Mustang or any other car. You do them because you want them, not because they will increase the value of the car, and in some cases will subtract or limit resale potential. I took all my mods off the GT before I sold it because, believe it or not, most people want a stock car, and then they promptly do the very mods I had undone. Go figger. The primary GT caretaker said he has modded/unmodded some cars twice. Good for business I guess. FOR APPEARANCE MODS IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO RETAIN ORIGINAL "TAKE OFF" PARTS.


In some of the cases (and I strongly agree with the claim about EFI) you're better off doing it at the beginning or simply buying a car with the stuff you want already on it. These are "upgrades" and while they don't increase the value of the car 100% of the cost, it's like a kitchen or bath remodel.
