IF you still have all or most of the factory components of your car, i would HIGHLEY recommend you install the factory components back into your car and sell the aftermarket parts separately--you will get much more $$ this way. although it is more difficult to do it my suggested way--your pocketbook will thank you like no one else can. sound system & wheels (even this is optional) are really the only things that will retain most of its resale value if left into a car--because the market for these components is greater than that of other aftermarket parts. and 1 more thing--it would probably help much more if you removed your graphics...that'll increase demand (trust)

I guess I need to find someone who likes the mods if I deceide to sell it... I would think for everthing in it $21,500 would be an honest request...

The Celica is my toy... That is what the Corvette will be if I buy one... My daily driver is a 2002 F150 Harly Davidson (Supercharged 5.4 liter)

Syspension, motor, exhaust, interior and brakes... It is already almost the best you can buy and it is all installed and under warranty... I don't know, I have to sell the Celi first...
