With very few exceptions you'll make more money parting out than you will selling a modified car as whole. As for parts prices, I would check eBay for similar items for a good estimate. For Car prices assess your cars condition and check kbb, edmunds, eBay, and NADA to get a range to sell it in.

What condition is the cf hood in and do you have any pics?

Edit: Forgot to click on the link you have which has pics

Are you selling your JDM headlights? If so, put me first on the list please.

Yea, Part out is the way to go if you want the money. $7k for car worth $4500 will not happen very often. Most people in that market need a loan, and the bank will not loan more the KBB, and often times only 95% of that. I would look to part out enough to pick up the diff in the two #s. Car $4500, Turbo (Used) $1500 ext, ext.
