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.
I have an Eclipse with a lambo door kit. Been on their 6+ years and still works fine "I't's a super pain in the ass to get in and out of". I have no problems with any of the after market body parts etc. But adding power.... Thats when your always breaking things.

The car has been sitting in the garage for years now. fun to drive when it is working. but impossible to sell for even half of what I have in it.
