Very Nice!! All the bolt-ons included already. The wheels look like the verts, but don't at the same time. Are they 4 lug or has the car been converted to run 5 lug?

Very nice car. All the right appointments.

The mesh wheels aren't quite up to X wheel standards, IMO, but they look OK on a California car.

Nice find!

Looks nice. Get an air filter on there, though.

i really like it too! its got the right parts, silver is great, BBS wheels are great.

buy it, build a cold air box for it with a filter, add the stock wing and call it done

I didn't pay much at all, kinda felt like I stole it lol. The wheels, I'd rather have some Epsilons or Autobahns, but these will do for now; as for the air filter I'm ordering it some time this week.

I was thinking about some GXL seats, being that they're cheaper and still have an old school look (at least compared to the rx8 seats)
