Who has kept all their OEM parts after installing performance mods & is it worth it?

kenchan

it is. been modding cars for a while now. experience has told me so. there was one exception when i sold a local carguy one of my modded hobby cars with the bits on it. we were both happy with the transaction.

btw, carmax was cool about mods on my other car that i sold. ive sold a few cars to them. they gave me the full value of a stock car when i brought the factory bits in the trunk of the car i was selling which had coilovers i didnt feel like taking off along with alignment kit, etc.

I think if you car hop a lot, it is smart to keep your stock parts. Most buyers want an un-doctored vehicle. Stock vehicles will usually sell faster because everyone has different styles & taste & don't want surprises caused from side effects of someones idea of what was cool. For me I will be keeping the car for a long time, but I have kept all my stock parts except my exhaust (still have stock cats as I don't like smog Nazi headaches ) But I am thinking about to tossing the stock springs.

If I knew I was going to be trading or selling the car in the next 5 years, I would keep everything.

I still have everything from wheels, full exhausts, to oil and radiator caps. Now, I'm thinking about selling every single piece since I'm running out garage space. If I could, I'd keep all of them.
