Default Stock parts worth anything?

I'm planning on going down to socal to get a bunch of trd parts put in (supercharger, springs, sways, exhaust). Is there a market for used stock parts? Specifically, is it worth my trouble to haul any of this stuff back or should I just have the installer throw them out for me?

Note: I'll be bringing one passenger with me so if I have to haul anything back it'll have to fit into the trunk / rear storage area.

you won't make a ton of money back, but money is money isn't it? you could get enough to do another mod to the car, so why not? plus TRD parts aren't exactly the cheapest there are... so you might want to make some of that back heh.

you won't make much.. better to actually keep them stored somewhere for yourself in case you need them in the future or if whatever case.

btw, i'm in san jose as well. welcome man!

yup you should always keep stock parts if you changed it out for performance.. you never know when you'll need something.. unless your in desperate need of some sort of cash..

Ok thanks for the suggestion guys. I'll ask the dealer to box everything up and hopefully it all fits in the back. Now I have to go find a place to store it.

the market is sooo flooded with OEM tC parts.

i just keep all mine in case i ever need them or decide to go back to stock.
