Default question about taking off 97+ body kit

Hey guys,
Ive been trying to sell my SC unsuccessfully for the last few months. Maybe my price is too high...so im thinking about taking off all my mods and parting them out and selling just the car. My question is this:

if i take off the full 97 conversion...will i have any holes anywhere? or will it be back to its pre 97 self? No use in taking off the kit if it leaves holes, how will i explain them to the buyer!

Help!
Abe

no holes will be seen from removing the 97 kit.

only problem you might have is the side skirts... you'll need the original black pieces that goes on the fender and rear quarter panel on the bottom. You'll see what im talking about once it's removed.

You will have no extra holes; you will need to get 92 front and rear bumper covers though

You will be much better off selling your parts separately,

You can never expect to make your money back on modifications you have made to a car, granted you and 10% of the population might notice the upgrade or want it, but 90% of the buyers will not care and therefore not pay you a premium for a 16+ year old car.
