Default That is the value of my used body kit?

I have the full greddy kit and was considering going back to stock (until I decide on another kit).

Everything is painted (silverstone) and in excellent shape. How much do you think I could get for the full kit? It cost over 1k (parts/labor/paint) so if the resale is weak, I'm not going to consider the sale. I've been searching the marketplace area but haven't seen full greddy kits up for sale.

Thanks

I understand you about resale and what you can get out of it considering the money you spent on paint and labor... But you also have to think about what the potential buyer might have to go through to put it on their car... Let's say someone with a PPW wanted your kit, now they have to pay to repaint and maybe re-fit it... And let's say that your kit is paint matched well to your car and someone with a silverstone wants it and it doesn't match THIER car.... Now they have to pay for it to match...

I suggest you find the lowest retail price you can find and lower your price from there... GL

You can try and set it at a certain price point for someone who has a Silverstone car so all they have to do is swap parts (unless you already have the OEM stuff). However, your not going to get much more than what you paid for the parts if someone has to repaint it.

My .02, just leave the car as is until you switch the body kit. It looks good!

Its a pain in the butt to remove, ship and paint. Maybe someone will haul it out of the garage for free.

Ya, it seems exterior parts are the worst parts for resale. Unless there is someone local with the exact same color looking for this exact kit, I suppose I will stay with it.
