    Color DMD only, maybe the Mike D mod on Creature. Everything else - no.

    It's just like a muscle car - all these dudes modded the hell out of the cars, then when they try to sell them, no one wants it. They all want original.

    Quoted from Engine09:

    By far my biggest pinball related gripe, fucking mods.
    I guess I would be considered a purist, nothing more beautiful than a pin restored to the exact state when it left the factory, they're a snapshot in time utilizing the technology and esthetic of the era. It's just repulsive to me when I see gaudy plastic junk hot glued or zip tied on, random toys and other assorted shit.
    Then there are the garbage mods that interfere with the view of the ball actually hurting gameplay, egregious.
    Brightly colored powder coated rails, legs and coin doors? Clown show.
    Aftermarket toppers? I'd love to smash them off with a hammer.
    Mirror blades and decals? Playfields scratch them up a majority of the time, some guys add felt but they're still too tight. They don't belong there.
    When I buy a pin full of mods I can't even enjoy the machine until all that crap is removed, most mods can be resold but it's work removing that junk and posting it for sale, etc. So no, they do not add value for me.

    Totally agree.
