Did you buy this car as an investment or to have fun?? If you bought this car as an investment then you made the wrong choice, you would have better luck in the stock market. Personally I bought this car as with all of my other cars, to have fun. I don't expect to get what I paid for in mods when I sell the car because everybody knows its almost next to impossible. My Integra had over 20G's invested in it without considering the price of the car. You know how much I got for it when I sold it?? $10,000....did I make any money? No, I lost a lot, BUT was it fun?? Hell Yeah....You wanna Play you gotta PAY!!

It really all depends on how you look at things, there is no right or wrong.

I prefer my car stock. Not because it will be worth more 20 years from now but because I just happen to like it that way. Others prefer to mod, not because they will end up with the fastest car ever made or because they will have a museum piece, they just happen to get satisfaction from their mods. Each one of us needs to relate to his or her car as he or she pleases. That really is the bottom line.

I happen to agree with Spankee, if you bought this car as an investment you made the wrong choice. I think that is true of any car.

As far as losing money on your mods, that is something you have to know going into it. If you are ok with that go ahead, if not don't.

You lose money on the mods ... the same way you lose money on the car as soon as you drive it off the lot. It's all a matter of preference ... and for me the more performance I can get out of my S the better!
