What to do with useless OEM parts that you've upgraded?

NoMods · 03-29-2023, 07:18 PM

I know I can sell them here, but what about reflector deletes, trim, mirror caps, trunk spoiler, chrome M5 grille, and vents that no one really wants? Mount it on a wall?

It’s not as common as upgraded parts for sure, but sometimes people do want those things. Possibly to revert to OE before lease turn in or trade. Especially body color mirror caps. Grill might go to someone who sustained some damage on theirs. I think we just saw someone with a damaged OE grill in the last few days.

Depending on parts, I keep them then revert to stock once I tradecar so I can sell upgrades separately

Mod, reinstall OEM, part out, then do it again …

Lol I actually ended up mounting some stuff on the wall myself

The little stuff like the front and rear reflectors were tucked away in the round file cabinet.
