It's definitely a case by case situation. Unless you are starting out with a gutted shell, you are better off going as original as possible. Just look back to the 80's when everyone was taking their long hood porsches and slapping a bunch of 930 flares on them and updating them to be cool. Now, they go for considerably less. Times change and so do fads.
Magnus is Magnus. He has an entire team working on his garage full of probably 30 porsches. He is a brand now. When he mods cars, they go up in value when seen at auction. That's a very elite group to be in.
Also, modding a classic Porsche and it not looking like shit is probably more expensive than trying to stay original. And in the long run? Not a financially sound choice since these cars are turning into investments. Like it or not, collectors like their cars as close to stock and as original as possible.
I know it's fun to mod cars, but the amount of money it takes restore a swb Porsche does not make it a great option. At the end of the day, if you like to mod cars, stick with an E30.
