would any other type of mod help though? like cosmetic stuff or just simply power mods make it more valuable.

thats funny!!! LOL!^ ..any car you put money into your probably going to get maybe half of it back. yeah youll get more money for a s/c car vs. a non s/c. but.... some people prefer a stock car to modify themselves. (like me). like cosmetic wise.. what if the person loves the car but hates the color or the body kit. ITS YOUR CAR!! do what you want to it. my opinion.

Keep it stock. Most people will pay more money for an un-molested car than they would a car modded to the hilt.

+1

modded = Beat to death, and people know it, usually heavily modded cars sell for much less than their stock equivilents.

If you plan on selling or trading it to a dealership, it's best to keep it stock. Most dealers "really" mark down for modded cars. Not everyone wants to be flashy or turn heads with the sound.
