Value of a modded M491 (theoretical question)

OK - so I have a fairly stock M491 coupe and am getting the "upgrade" bug. Since I'm poor and can't afford to upgrade the engine, most of my changes would be cosmetic and potentially suspension driven. While most of them would be reveseable, what impact would that have to the value of the car. Here's what I'm starting with:

153,000 miles
Rear seats removed. came w/ home build parcel shelf (don't have original seats - have 930 replacements)
Rear package shelf removed (don't have original - put in RS shelf carpet)
H4 headlights (don't have originals - car had craked H5s when I got it)
Rear Bumperettes removed (don't have)
A/C isn't working
No rear wiper (has switch in dash)
No fog lights (has switch in dash)
Whale tail off of car (base cracked and needs repair)
stock H/E's w/ custom exhaust (Dynomax)
6 way power seats
Stereo delete (wasn't original and didn't work - after mkt speakers in doors)
Rear reflector and reflector panel have been repaired by me

Here are some pics from the recieved from the seller, before I bought it:



And here are some more recent pics, since I've owned it:













Since these pics have been taken, I've removed the dented rear lid and replaced it with a stock, no-tail lid. Most of the rest is unchanged from the pics.
