i told myself i wont mod any car i have,...had 9 and modded every single one of them, damn it hahaha.
my box is paid off, so anything i put on can be taken off and sold seperately, so no concern there.

u can mod it, put muffler and all that, and when selling the car, put it back to stock and pretty much just loose few bux with selling the mods. that always worked with me, and somehow all the cars i sold i ended up making money on, so far did not loose a dollar on any car (although i can negotiate a deal when buying, thats for sure)

OR, u can just go and buy used parts, and when selling pretty much sell for the same money u bought them for, so while u had the car u enjoy the sound, when sell take it off and sell and sell the car stock. done deal. drove a modded porsche for free pretty much.

modding isnt expensive if you're smart about it, so it really shouldn't matter if the car is paid off or not. Do the installs yourself and get the parts for cheap(er) (on ebay or whatever site). Then when you want to sell the car you can sell the modded parts again on ebay for the same or sometimes higher price then what you purchased them for.

Personally, I love modded cars because you put your own style into what you're driving but if you'd prefer to keep it stock thats up to you just dont be discouraged if money is the issue since its really not expensive in the long run.

good luck and get that thing out of the garage and enjoy it!!!
