Generally, the mods you've listed are rarely ever recouped on a sale. Good money usually comes from a clean stock example, or a straight up racing vehicle that can be taken directly to the track.
Very hard to put a price on a 20 year old car, especially one that's been modded. Ultimately, it's worth whatever you can get for it. If you don't like the price, part it out.

not necessarily....the cars value is determined by the buyer...like for example if im buying a car and i want a good sound system setup i wouldn't mind paying more for that kinda car but if i was more into performance i wouldn't value any sound upgrades done to the car....if the car is in perfect condition with less mileage and a good paint job and a solid body u will get a very good price for it....

That's exactly it.. if you found a 16 year old kid looking for a rice rocket, you could rape the poor kid because he probably wouldn't know any better... if you were trying to sell it to someone who knows the RX you'd probably be further ahead to pull out all your stereo stuff and sell it in the local newspaper...

That car looks abused.. You'll get a better response restoring it back to stock. DVD players don't belong in FB's.
Remember, you have an old school ride, you
can't make it too much like an integra wannabe.

IMO you've taken the value of the car down just by adding in all the audio/video equipment. It looks extremely out of place with the old style interior.
Is it just me or does it look like the roadies finally finished setting up for the band in the hatch area? The stereo install looks like you kinda just threw it in there and left it... I'd take it out and sell the car stock. You'll probably get more for the car, plus get re-imbursed for the sound equipment...

How much you asking for the wheels?
I need a set of 17's, and with some polishing or powdercoating, those would look ok.
I'd use my 15" Centerline IMSA wheels for my slicks.

Its amazing how much better the car looks going from the stock wheels to the 17" white ones.
Those are almost identical to what I am going to put on mine after the lug pattern conversion.
As for a value on your car, mods or not, $1500 with those wheels.

yea all i did was had the rim shop drill the bolt pattern (4x110) and some wheel adapters and it worked perfect. plus that way you dont have to do any swaps on ur axels and its cheaper. dont wheels blank (with no bolt pattern on them already cause it will be extremly expensive.
