what do you mean??? it's never done....this car is never done...the next car you get will never be done, nor the next, or the .....


you get my meaning...once you're in the mentality of making your car different and better than oem, it never ends.....and you can never get the same "investment" into your car in return

^Right. I'm really not expecting any sort of return on my investment other than my own personal satisfaction of knowing that I did it, and that its custom and different. And I agree, you're never really done... there's always something more to do, or add, or modify, or.... yeah..

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

and thats where the problem lies my friend.. when your never done it becomes a bottomless money pit the last project is the nav system but after that im gon have to stop on this car.. slow asp motor, dents starting to collect, paint fading a bit, etc etc etc... its really a horrid investment... if anything im getting a newer altima with a lip kit and a decent set of rims THATS IT...

im thinking if i will part my car out or not next year at this point but yah ill keep all u guys updated.

You dont buy a car as an investment. It is a means of transportation and that is it. NOw waht you do to personalize it is your decision.

The only vehicles taht you can buy and consider an investment would be some exotics and then classics, whether it be muscle cars, cruisers or whatever.

If you are buying anything less than 20 years old you might as well forget it.
