keep them so you can put them back on your car when you sell it later on down the line. Then sell the aftermarket parts.

I would keep them....Then when you sell the car, you can put it back to stock and sell the parts on the side. That is what I did
Im keeping them just in case. You never know. I never plan to get rid of my vic. I plan to mod it to where I cant do anything any more. I plan to keep it forever. Make it an ultimate show car down the line. I got my stock wheels, seats, front bumper, radio in my garage all wrapped up and soon my hood will be in the garage to and my fenders. Soon my garage will look like I got a stock vic in there with all the stock parts.

I have a collection under neath the house of all the old parts. I could use the extra money if I sold all the old parts, but when I get rid of the car which ever dealership I take it to would much rather have a stock civic instead of a modded one sitting 4 inches off the ground like mine is now.

Yeah, I'm a keeper too. I still have the parts that came off my car, in a box in my basement. It only makes sense. If something that you put on breaks, you have a backup until you can get it fixed.

Depends what it is. Things like body panels are definately keepers, it's like having your own insurance if anything ever happens, and if you've got parts in good shape in a few years, people with rusty doors or something might want to buy OE parts that haven't been refurbished. There's money in that. Things that the dealer can give you **** for like intakes that come off easy are worth keeping, but I would consider the stock cat-back to be a disposable item. Other stuff just aren't worth the effort to remove again when you go to trade it in, unless you just installed it (like springs that have been in there for years)
