My very first chop
This is my first chop of doing mods to a car, the car is mine. I have done sigs and stuff before but never did mods. I have an upper hand becuase im studying graphics production at school and have already taken a photoshop class. But all i really did was photo correction and learned blending modes and other stuff for page layout. I put the origional on here as well.

RE: My very first chop
actually with my experience(i customize cars and sell most of them) bodykits do not decrease any value of the car, it doesnt give you any value either. the only thing it might do if u choose to sell it would be attract someone that has the same taste as u and possible make it easier to sell because it doesnt look like veryone elses. i just put a for sale sign in the window of my green civic as an example and got 6 offers the first day! so like the person said above me its all what u want.(not flamin on stock/jdm look either)

RE: My very first chop
skateman do you make good money doing that? And do you rework only appearance on the car, or the engine to? How much profit do you make per car roughly? I'd be interested in doing that some day, so any info is appreciated man, thanks.

RE: My very first chop
i do as much as i can while still making a profit(i buy the cars at auctions with minor damage to them or none at all) and then i make them look nice be it a body kit, a new paintjob, lowered, etc. and then i do motor mods and whatever else i can get my hands on. but u have to look into how many cars u r allowed to sell in a certain time period where ur from cuz u can only sell so many before u need a liscence. and usually i can get a car for less than half the cost as if you were to sell it on the street and then put maybe 1-3k in it and sell the things fast! i can make anywhere from 100$-10k$ depending on the car and what i do to it(DO NOT BUY SALVAGE! just a tip if u wish to do this because you CANNOT sell them for normal price. i only do about 3 a year though for some extra cash. good luck man
