Selling a modified car

I have a 2013 FR-S with 25k miles on it. My son and I worked on it as a project and we've since moved on to other things. I'm curious as to whether I should try to sell it as it sits or go through...

I'm pretty sure the new sensors were never programmed to the car correctly at this point. Is this a DIY? I don't mind buying a tool, but the ones I've seen are 200-300 bucks.

I put new wheels and tires on my 2013 FR-S a while back and have been fighting tire light issues ever since. Just to be sure at the time, I put all new sensors in it (figured at 10 years old they...

You'd think someone who lived in paradise would have a rosier disposition, but thanks for the note. Before I do that, I just want to make sure I've chased other avenues that are less expensive.

I may try this one before I change the CB. I was planning to change out the front pipe anyway at some point, so perhaps this will influence some of the rasp/volume I'm getting on the TRD?

I was wondering about that, trying a resonator and seeing what difference that makes. Of course doing that would potentially kill resale of it, but it may be worth the experiment.

I've had them on other street cars before and didn't hate them either. The CSG CP's seem like the best choice, but $720 before tax and shipping is more than I wanted to spend.
