Aftermarket mods, will I recoup dollars spent?

[USA]

You might be able to if you don't beat on it too hard and keep it clean. But if you payed any kind of ADM your already in the hole. And FYI ADD products might look nice but they are horrible in practicality and reliability, I speak from experience.

What brands do you recommend? What intercooler do u recommend, etc?

I I don't have Deavers or icon leaf springs or Geiser springs, bump stops, tune, IC, aftermarket bumpers, wheels installed.

EXACTLY!! It can add up quick, you barely got into the meat and potatoes as far as mods go.

I installed PPF on my first 911, 2k, on front, etc, not entire vehicle. Traded it in after few months. 2k down the drain..

as said, do mods because you want them. Forget about return on investment.

My response wont be about which mods to pick or get but rather your question on recouping the money spent on mods. Modding a vehicle will add value depending on the type and extent of mods. However, the first moment you mod a vehicle, the instant you should never sell to a broker or dealership. Dealerships and brokers will pay book value on any vehicle regardless of modification. This means you're limited to private sale which can take a bit of time to find the right buyer. Nice thing with stealerships is that they take the risk of finding the buyer. Also extensive mods can make a vehicle unsellable as banks do not want to loan out money on an older vehicle especially is the price is higher than book. This is the same reason I went with a stock 18 rather than a modded 1st gen

Bottom line is just figure your mod money as your personal custom touches that not everyone will like or want to pay you for. If you do it to make money back my advise is to not do it at all.

Curious where you're getting an IC for $500?

Apparently the same place he's getting wheels for 1,000 lol

 

[OEMPlus Raptor]

Keep your stock parts & put em back on whenever you sell the truck & sell aftermarket parts separately. At least you’ll get something back then.

That’s what I do.

Wanna see my credit card bills?

Lol. Damn.

 

[Jakenbake]

Lol. Damn.

Lol. For reference a bypass rack, 16” or 18” bypasses, leaf springs, shackles, brake lines, etc will put you close to $10,000

I got a quote for $5k for entire truck to get Xpel wrap. I'm starting to question if I need that when it gets delivered. I don't plan on having the truck for more than 5 years. I do want to beat on it off road though!
