At an inspection I was quoted $300 to fix a parking light on my MIL's Jeep something or other since the "bumper had to come off". I peeled the rejection sticker off the window (basically the red flag that tries to hold you hostage at the shop that did the inspection), bought a bulb on the way home, spent 15 minutes groping around behind the wheel liner, and went to a different shop the next day to get it reinspected.
We're definitely subsidizing shops a bit and maybe improving safety some here in VA. I'm pretty sure there's a lot more human error or hubris than equipment failures behind traffic accidents around here.

There is a Sharkwerks build on BaT with at least $120k worth of mods and service done to it. Probably $10k worth of carbon in the interior.

Good test case of mods as compounded loss

I think that car has a few YouTube videos too. Nice ride but agree the mods you never get back and be prepared to lose it all on sale or an accident. As I like to say…there is an *** for every seat .

Someone on PCA Mart is selling a 550 horse Ruf conversion. In one image I spy a Carrera GT. Wow.

Open cars don’t cut it for a hot rod unless it’s a Deuce Roadster.😉

I just saw this. $89k ask for an '03 Arctic Silver coupe with near 30k miles! Is that ambitious or is that where prices are - or what? They say mine's only worth 30! Grrr.

It's not "low enough" miles for that price, and it looks as though there's been a few alterations:
That 2001 is a gem though. I think it's an early VIN as I don't have it in my database and 5,800 mi cars are sort of in their own orbit with prices.
- Sports seats have been added
- "Aluminum Look Interior Small" package bits seems to be missing
- Painted Centre console is new
- Carbon fiber interior pieces are new
- Sport Techno wheels are gone

on the mods question… I have a manual 996 TTS with 42k miles that is stock, except for an phone cable that links to the OEM stereo.
I kinda want to upgrade the seats to 997 sport seats. I think they are plug and play, so would be easy to convert back.
I also kinda want to add the GT2 or Ruf front bumper, but that would be more of a pain to change back.
I plan to own it for another 5+ years. It won’t be a low mileage car when I sell, but probably still under 100k miles.
would those two mods significantly reduce the value?
I know it’s my car and I should do what I want… but seems silly to spend $10k on stuff that will reduce the value of the car!
