Notes:	• No accidents. All original paint on body panels. • DINAN Stage 4 clone – DINAN Front and Rear Strut Brace, Intake, Exhaust, MAF, Throttle Body, Fuel Pressure Regulator & Software • Koni Yellows on Eibach Springs • FX35 Projector Highlights • Interior Condition is A+. Passenger seat bolsters look almost new. Driver bolster has zero cracks, just creases from use. Truly is in amazing condition. Still smells factory fresh • Completely leak free • A few minor defects in the paint/rock chips on the front and hood. Nothing major. I have detailed the extent of defects in pictures. In my opinion, for a 20+ yr old car, they are minor. Car was originally had the Luxury Package. The 2nd owner changed out the front bumper and added the side skirts. The 3rd owner sourced a full Sport interior from a 40k mile donor – swapped were the front seats, front door cards, rear seats with headrests, rear door cards, front center arm/elbow rest, parking brake handle, glovebox, center A/C vent.
