Yeah, accessories (even factory spec'd versions) seem to offer 0-10% of value when it comes to trade-in or resale value. Sure it's all about customizing your car, but if you're only going to keep it short term, expect 0% payback, unless you're going to part it out. If you keep it 5-10+ years, your mod costs are of course amortized while you enjoy them
