I really get the sense that they're fundamentally unhappy with the car, and really wanted something else. Why else would you spend almost half of the MSRP of the car radically altering its appearance? You don't see anyone taking a Corvette and trying to make it look like an H2 do you?
I am not advocating a stock appearance. But there comes to a point in the transformation of a car's appearance when it's absolutely clear that the owner really wanted a different car to begin with.
What do you guys think?

You can see it quite a bit when you look for those cars on eBay. Why do I say that? Because you see these heavily modified cars that are "just finished" or "only 1,000 miles on everything". They spend a ton of money to fix them up only to be disappointed with it when they are done (and even more disappointed when they take a complete bath on the loss).
In the end you have a car worth barely more than its unmodified counterpart, and tough to sell because not everyone has your same exact taste in mods.
