[QUOTE="black 10th vert, post: 10406978, member: 65729"] Honestly, aside from the good points already mentioned, you have to decide based on a few other factors, inmo. a) do you have a garage to work on it, or will you be sending it out to a performance shop? This can be a difference in many thousands of dollars. b) do you have decent mechanical abilities, or will you need to send it out (see "a")? c) do you have a decent amount of tools? If you don't that is not a deal breaker, but will add to the cost of doing mods yourself. In the end, it really is very specific to what you want from the car, and if the modded one already has things that you plan to do anyway. Obviously, the quality of the install is always a wildcard - even if it was done by a "professional" shop! Sometimes, depending on the owner, you can end up with a higher quality of workmanship with a home install, as most times the owner will take more pride, and have more attention to detail because they are not concerned about the time factor as much as a shop who quoted a certain amount to do a job.
