Yeah, I can see it happening clearly in my head. Every single thing I did to my car when I had a Civic ended up failing after a year or so. Now whenever I see someone wanting to do something to their car, it pains me... and nobody really wants to buy a "modified" car.

There might be an exception to the rule if it's something insane like dropping a V8 into a car meant to have a 4 cyl. I've seen that swap done on old Datsun Z's and it has certainly made me curious about that sort of thing.
