What can you do???

I mean... If you have a CAI, but not the stock airbox, you certainly can't take the CAI off and not replace it with something...

Unless you want to buy parts from a dealer or wholesaler and replace your mods with them, I don't know if you have any other option other than to sell the car as is???

Unless I'm missing something.

That wouldn't be financially wise to buy back the stock parts and then install them then remove the aftermarket stuff. Where did you're stock stuff go? It may be better just to search a junk yard for stock parks.

Why not just leave the parts on the car and adjust the sale price for the trade in? It's not like most (if any) of the aftermarket parts are going to be usable on the G35.

By "Trade in" do you mean return a lease? That's the only thing I could think of that would prompt you to ask this question.

there's sometimes stock OEM parts on the black market, or you could even post a "want to buy" on there. Most stuff seems to go pretty cheap.

Dealers usually do not care about the mods and in some cases they will say that thats a factor for more depreciation.
