I would! I just turned 108k and i thought that was a lot. Glad to know that there are 350s out there pushing 200k, looks like mine has a long road ahead

I wouldn't imo. I feel like I'd be throwing money into a car that might not last long, making it regretable. Maybe some small things like tints but nothing crazy.

I'm modding a leased vehicle, which is pretty stupid. I know I will be out of pocket a bit, even with reselling parts, but I just don't care.

I say do it, enjoy it as long as you can, then move on. It's only money...

As they say: You gotta pay to play.

^^^ +1. Enjoy it. As long as you own the car, no matter how many miles are on it, you can always mod it. You can own a car with 16k miles on it and it may be totaled tomorrow in an accident. You can have 108k miles on a car and it can last for years.

I have a Civic with 160k miles on it and I'm still modding it!

Good luck with the mods!
