The exterior of the vehicle is bolstered by stock wheel well beauty trim and bumper mounted fog lights.

There is an aftermarket Alpine radio, but the original radio also comes with the car.

There is an issue that shows up with the mileage - if you look at the dates and miles it looks likea pastowner lost the title and sold the car - during that time the mileage was recorded wrong on the new title and was never noticed, or corrected.I believe the mileage has never been tampered withand is correct.
