Value of Car with Aftermarket Stereo
I am on the fences with removing my Monsoon stereo out of the car and installing all aftermarket stuff (HU and speakers). I am worried that it will take away from the originality of the car if I put an aftermarket Head Unit in place. I want to see what other peoples thoughts are on this. Also every speaker but one is blown and I don't have the cartridge for the 12 disc. I just bought this car is why I am asking. Thanks for the input ahead of time!

unless you have next to no miles on the car or a super rare combination of options it won't effect value for like a few more decades, these cars are still to new to be collector cars, just keep the stock Headunit in a closet somewhere in case a future buyer wants to revert it back to factory, as for the speakers, just replace them no one would expect to keep stock speakers on any car, they are a wear item, that would be like being expected to keep the original serpentine belt on the car or the original tires (not wheels) on the car.

It wont hurt anything and with some of the install kits out there you dont have to cut or hack anything. If you use them then returning back to stock is a breeze with no visible or hidden butchering.
