The rest of the parts actually lower the value of your car and if it's something I as the buyer ultimately don't like, now I have to take the time to put the stock parts on if they're included. And if they're not, I have to replace them.
THIS!! Some dipshit on facebook said I should ask $18k for my car because it was modded, it "decresed the value" he said. KBB is around $20,000. Needless to say, he was wrong. I got quite a few offeres on a car with 20k miles, and in an accident when i put if up for $22k. Lowest serious offer I got was $21k. I ended up backing out because I can't think of another car that I would rather have, truthfully. With your mods, I'm thinking $23k-$24k is a good place to start and be willing to give a bit. You want the most out of your car, I agree with parting it out.

PS-I'm hoping he's on here, see's this thread and feels like a fool.
