I agree and also think the more custom the more difficult it is to find someone that likes (and is willing to pay for) what you purchased and installed. As an example (nothing to do with this car) if I was looking to buy I might consider the wheels ok but not great so add $500 to what I am willing to pay (even though they are worth a huge amount more to someone else) but I don't like the exhaust so take off $700 for what I am willing to pay.
I keep my stock parts for this reason especially when they aren't worth much if you try to sell them.
