How much is a full ae lip kit plus mudflaps worth?

I have a full ae lip kit, I know it's rare. I've seen front lips go for $300+. The front lip has a small crack and blemish. Rest of the kit is good. It's a pearl white. I'm thinking of getting it painted and installed on my car. My question is what is it worth if I wanted to sell it? Any help would be greatly appreciated. It's not for sale right now so don't ask, just want to know. Thanks

they rare but idk were you the one who posted the pics on the 5th gen page?!? if i wanted one i would go to a junk yard cause they wouldnt know how much its worth plus they need to flow inventory and make quick sales or i would find someone who drives a maxima on the streets who isnt a maxima enthusiast and convince them to sell it to me for a 100-150 for a whole set lol but i dont have a 00-01 -_-

What you think it's worth, and what someone is willing to pay for it are two different things. The one reason why I haven't got an AE lip or an AE kit for my car is because I don't want to spend that kind of money, but that's just me. I'd rather spend the money on maintenance or something else, since my car is 13 years old and now has 185K miles on it.

If you want to put it on your car, I say go ahead and do it. If you want to sell it, then do that. Just remember, don't sit on it thinking it's still going to be worth something 10 years or so from now, because you can't predict the future. 10 years from now, the 5th gen section will probably be like the 3rd gen section is now, which has little traffic and activity compared to the 5th gen section.

+1 same reason i didnt buy a stillen lip yet i been spending all my "car money" on performance mods but i did buy a stock bumper grill and fogs since i got the car with a r34 body kit when i bought it and i changed my rims since i needed new tires and didnt really like my axis mod rims 2 much

I hear ya, it's most likely going on the car. These kits only get more and more rare as people keep crashing and breaking their kits. Thanks for the input guys
