If you go by the cliche; it's only original once, then doing mods, especially outside of OEM means less value down the road. This normally applies to classic or limited cars, but one can not tell the future of what will become what.
My buddy just spent a fortune on an original exhaust for his E30. Going aftermarket or performance was not even in his mind. Of course that car has become cult-like so he will easily get his money back unless the market demand goes completely under.
Also add in that some people should not even be allowed to touch a wrench because it will be a given that they F something up along the way.
