This made me LOL like crazy.

Put the shit you want in, and when you're ready to sell it put the stock one in. Same with the shifter knob.

I was just fapping over one of these sitting in my buddy's driveway. His roommate owns it, never drives it, and it has 14,000 original miles. It's not stock either, FMIC and other random shit.

It's a Conquest; they're niche cars at best. They have a few passionate followers, but I don't expect them to be pulling in Barret Jackson highlight reel numbers before oil and gas are gone.

+1 seriously, if you do it right, it'll only increase the value of the car. It is possible to put modern electronics in older vehicles and still have it look aesthetically pleasing, just put some thought in it.
