One more thing is when people see performance mods the first thing that comes to mind is that the car was beat to hell.
Correct. If I'm buying a used car, I want a stock one. Of course, if I look it over and see that you modded it and put it back to stock. I'm even more suspicious.

That being said, if I ever sell my Z it's getting sold as-is. I made that decision when the turbo kit went on. I'm selling off all of the OEM parts to clear out the garage and shed.
