Not saying you should not modify, its fun as hell. Go for it. However, make sure you know what your getting into before you start. Modifying is like sex with a whore, or drugs....its fun, exciting, but you may be getting yourself into something that you wish you hadn't...LOL
Modified the crap out of my old Vette, Supercharger, headers, meth, boost a pump etc etc.....700 + HP....Was cool getting to that point - learned allot.
Ultimately what I mainly learned however, was this:
High maintenance...this means more work for you...you need to constantly be on top of your modifications.
When you modify you will never get back what you spent. Kiss your $$ goodbye.
You will have a hard time selling it. Buyers do not want to buy modified cars.
Forget trading it in, they will rob you blind. Resale value has just dropped lower than a normal non modified car....
State inspections ....another problem in some cases.
Exception to the above:
You plan to keep the car forever.
You have tons of extra time to work on your car.
You got $$$$ you don't care about losing.
One last word of advice from someone who modified too much....
Make sure that you don't overdue it...I had 700 HP, in the end I did not use it as much as expected, the exhaust note was too loud after awhile got annoying, I hated all the extra maintenance after awhile...oil change on supercharger, checking meth, getting meth etc etc....
