Is adding bolt on parts to his car a waste of time or is the Schwartz chassis a waste of time? And if so -- why?

First off...3rd genner's are inherently cheap by nature. I have been part of the 3G society for 20 years and I see it all the time. They bitch about not having alot of high dollar items made for their cars, and then as soon as a company steps up and offers something really nice, they bitch about how expensive it is. Put it this way, I have more money invested into my wheels and tires than 95% of 3rd gens are worth. There are not alot of us out there willing to step up to the plate to build a high quality (expensive) 3rd gen car. What I'm getting at it's a small market segment. This may, and I hope, change in the future as more people see how great these cars can be when built right.

Second...there is already enough good products out there to make a 3G car handle exceptionally well that are ALOT cheaper than bolting on a complete full frame chassis (band-aid) underneath.

Don't get me wrong, I love seeing all the cool widgets the older cars have on the market, and would like to see more for 3G cars. But, for instance, I also take alot of pride in building or making something for my car that's not on the market. IE, the minitub I fabbed up this year. It helps set my car apart from the crowd because no one has a kit for it yet.
