    Default Save or Sell?

    After you guys replace your oem parts with aftermarket mods, what are you doing with the originals? I plan on keeping this car forever, so I won't need the parts for higher resale value. Then again, who knows?!

    Any suggestions?

    Well, I just looked at your mods. Nice and clean. Not too over the top, and if you wanted to sell it, you shouldn't have any problems. I would keep them though. That way if you did decide to sell it, you could sell the mods seperate and make more money.

    personally, once i mod something, i NEVER go back to stock even after an accident so i would ALWAYS sell. That will also give you the motivation to KEEP upgrading because you woudn't want to spend money to STEP DOWN if you know what i mean

    Sometimes, having the OEM part on hand as a spare can be handy like your old wheels and tires. This is especially true running the Dub style on rubber bands or uber LW wheels when you unfortunately discover that pothole, drop-off, curb, speedbump, etc. Also good to keep on hand are your stock header and mid-pipe if you replaced those. This depends on your local laws on emissions but if they get stringent then you may find yourself paying good money for something you sold/threw away.

    Thanks guys. I might get rid of the exhaust, sway, and hood. I'll keep my stock intake for Just Incase reasons. Anyone want some stock parts? lol.
