You can always modify your car, keep the stock parts in storage, and put it back to stock whenever you'd like. I have every single stock part that an aftermarket part replaced cleaned and stored. Selling stock parts after modifying is crazy in most cases.

I want to sell because I want another Laguna blue and a lot lower mileage.
You just answered your own question there. If you really want another laguna and lower mileage then go for it! But it's going to cost you some money

He still wouldn't have the low mileage and it would hurt resale value. But if he's going to keep the car a while I guess it's worth it. I'd avoid a repaint unless the factory paint was in rough shape.

Not stock, but ive gone from turbo S2000 back to a full bolt on and NA tune, waiting on it back but that will be a little surprise. I wouldnt like going to stock as stock cars are never quite good enough in my opinion.

IMO the stock car needed a bit more power and rides a little too high.

OEM lip and wing are a nice touch =)

My car is back to stock now and it's fun but not FUN =)

I've been in the modding scene since I was a teen in high school. Now I'm 31. I always think back on all the money that I sunk in mods only to realize that in the end, I actually quite enjoy a stock car. I still fight the urge to mod but now, I only do mods that I are reversible back to stock. As I got older, power has been less important to me. I value much more on how a car handles and the driving experience. It's quite funny because now that I'm older, I have much more disposable income...but I'm smarter with my mods. When I was younger with less disposable income, I modded indiscriminately.
