BTW -- A custom color will kill your resale value. Anytime a car is painted people assume it was in a major accident.

I mentioned it because she talking about trading in her car in less than a year for a newer one.

If I did FI on a car, I would take it off before I sold it. In fact, if I ever sell my car I will put back as much to stock as I possibly can. I no longer have the black seats and door panels, so they may stay red, but I have all my other parts and would put them ALL back on.

(That may get a little harder to do in a couple of months, but we shall see. )

see there's 2 options im headin for right now. One, is to trade it in for a newer one....two, just keep it and put mods into it. It will both come out being about the same price.


I'm also going to Aspec next week to go Dyno my car. Just to see how it does stock.

Forget the custom paint. Get the A-SPEC turbo on your car.
