Good/Bad idea on trading in a car w/ after market parts on?

[fenderpicks]

So... is time for me to say good bye to my 2010 A/C
i plan on getting the Subuaru WRX or JCW mini....
But either way i will be trading in my A/C for either of them
So... i have a greddy ti c exhaust and k&n intake and some TSW rims on my A/c and also some EBC rotors and pads... and a GPS system that i will uninstall out from my car.

But my question is should i go in to the dealership asking for a trade in value with all these after market parts on?
Or should i put the stocks back on then go to the dealership...?
I just dont want to change out everything and they couldnt give me a decent price then i'd have to install everything all over again....

since im no expert in these kind of matters so i wanna make sure if dealers even like modded cars....
maybe modded car means the engine was abused or something like that and give me a LOW trade in value

Also if anyone is interested in my ti c and intake please lmk =]

I'm not totally sure about this, but my opinion would be to take the exhaust and the intake off, because most people buying used cars are not looking for something noisey, but leave the wheels and brakes. Dealers like aftermarket wheels because for the most part they give an aethstetic value to the car, and customers would prob like the brakes because it adds safety too. Just my 2 cents.

if you have stock parts, put them back on. dealers do NOT like to see aftermarket parts on the car because that's a clear indicator to them that you probably have been pushing the car a lot harder than they expect it to have been. aftermarket parts on your car will actually LOWER the trade in value, so you're better off parting out (this includes your Exhaust, Intake, and EBC Rotors, though your brake pads can stay). Also remember that your taste in wheels are very subjective, so it's the safe bet to put the stock wheels back on.

Trade car bone stock + sell parts

[Ironfrenzy]

I used to sell cars and downedzephyer is right, you will lose a lot of money pulling on to a lot with mods to your car, even wheels. You will absolutely get the most money for your car bone stock, the way you bought it.

Dam thats annoying....
I do not feel like taking the rotor back out... cus i dont have the tools for it and someone helped me on that...
But i can defintely go buy 4 used tires and put the stock rims back on..
And puting exhaust and intake back on

The satisfaction of knowing the dealership will get less for the car is enough to justify doing it

[fenderpicks]

It was hard for me to put the rotors on the first place and i required helped by some mechanic in my neighborhood
But now hes fixing a blew up turbo E30, thats why i wont eb able to put it back on myself

[DReed86]

leave the rotors man you will be good with those on but everything else take off. Rims should be mad easy just sell them for $500 for someones stockers and your straight

[fenderpicks]

Yea i will defintely put all stock stuff on and leave the rotors

Where are you located at? am planning to mod my altima SE. Will your aftermarket parts fit my 2008 SE? Got Pics?

[fenderpicks]

just the exhaust will fit other than that no.
