Great for personal satisfaction, but not for resale. Just mentioned this because all of the "one of a kind" cars being listed here for unrealistic prices.
I'm not concerned because I promised my car to my daughter, with no plans of ever selling. If I did though, I would not expect to recover the 8 g's in mods which doesn't include labor, since I do all my own work.
