The lid is a good mod, worth about 10 hp. Headers are worth even more. One thing to keep in mind when buying a modded car is that it may have been beat on. NEVER pay extra for a car that has performance mods on it. Unless of course you're buying a turbo TA or something like that.

Modded or not most of these cars have been beaten on. You don't see alot of threads up here on "my cars to fast how do I slow it down".
Lid, exhaust and susp mods are the first to do so it would save you a little. I wouldn't pay extra for these mods use them as a bargining point on the price. That's what dealers do when you trade it in though.
