Although thinking about ecomods "...in the same way as other performance mods, a hobby on which you expect to spend money." is valid it ends up as a single factor argument, or "reductio ad absurdom"[reduced to the point of absurdety] of economic thought. We also expect to spend money on food, housing, transportation, clothes, utilities, investments and... As I see it we need to evaluate economic benifits from more than one perspective. That is why even though ecomoding has only a small return on investment, it also has an insulating effect on futur price rise, as well as makeing the activity [motorized personal transportation...] more sustainable. So if we add up the verious economic benefits [return on investment + insulation from price rise + sustaneability + ...] we see that the activity seems more and more economicaly rational, even though it may never achieve perfection.
