Not trying to sound cynical, but a car, or car add-ons, are not investments.

in-vest-ment  / Pronunciation Key - Show Spelled Pronunciation[in-vest-muhnt] Pronunciation Key -

–noun 1. the investing of money or capital in order to gain profitable returns, as interest, income, or appreciation in value.
There is a 99.99999999999999999999999% chance your car will never appreciate, or any of the things you add to it. A nanosecond after you buy it, it depreciates. I understand what you are asking though.


That being said, I have already added close to a grand into it, and who knows how much more. I am about to get new exhaust, and then, maybe a chin spoiler.

I am about 750 as of now.

And agree with myredgt. Wouldn't consider this investment. Investments means you will make money off of what you put in. This will all depreciate over time. Heck, the minute you drove off the lot, the car depreciated

1400.00 wheels and tires, 675.00 C/L intake and tune, 336.00 Meziere electric water pump, 250.00 udp's, 2000.00 kooks headers and install, 600.00 gears and install, 160.00 torque limiters, 50.00 short throw adapter, and a big need for a Whipple S/C. Worth it all for the looks on the faces of the Camaro drivers when they get beat. Whipple coming soon, watch out Z06's and Shelby I'm coming to get you.
