Default Keep it original or have fun with it?

I got a 2004 mach 1 special edition. Now I'm debating wether to throw some things into it, or keep it original and it will be worth more in the long run. Years from now I wanna bring it to show and shine competitions. I've had my car since October 2003, its never touched the rain, and is stored in a heated garage throgh the winter. what do you guys think?

Im not too sure yet I was thinking of getting a perfromance chip done by ford. It doesnt void any warranties and its not noticeable. i was thinking of doing the flowmasters on the car just for the sound, and also for a little more power.

Slowmaster = sucks
Magnapacks = GOD

Might as well modify it, why have a stock Mach 1 that someone else has when you can modify it and make it your own...

MOD IT.Keep all the removed parts in the aftermarket boxes so you can find them if you have to have any questionable warranty work done.
