I have an 545 (white) that I'm going to sell. Do you think it is best to sell with the M-tech bumpers/side skirts and 166 style wheels or convert to stock, then sell. I don't have any of my old parts so if someone that lives in So. Cal is looking to work out a deal I'd consider.....

If you are trading it in then sell the parts separately. If you have the time and patience to wait for private sale then post it with the mods and see what happens. You will lose a lot for the mods at the dealer but you may get some return selling here or other forums.

It would be best to sell to an enthusiast. Like PJ said, you will lose the mod value at the dealer.
Hey, PJ, are you already thinking forward to next September for the number 7?

im in socal (granada hills) but visit newport often... im interested in the wheels, probably not the kit since my car is black, i dont see what you would do if we traded.
can you send me an email? i havent worked up enough posts to pm...sucks when you switch forums its like you're back at scratch.

barkevf@gmail.com thanks!
