My 2005 vert is 100% stock with the 1sb package. Will adding things like aftermarket nav or hoops behind the seats or anything else take away from the value?

Probably so. It holds especially true with anything that is obviously aftermarket. Mods that have a factory look are IMO less likely to take away from the car's value.

completely. That it could hurt resale value isn't a good reason to not mod your car to your liking. Set up your car how you want it, not how some future owner might want it.

No difference one way or another.If you start with the headers/tune and all that your value will decline faster then it is now..
