Yokohama AVS ES100 tires all around, plus a used pair of Nitto NT555R drag radials. Two front yokos are good, two rears are at the wear bars
All new paint within the last few years. NO dings, dents, or scratches. Front bumper is showing typical highway wear. Car comes with a bra (that i only use for long trips).
New windshield
Newer headlights (HID's, of course)
Dynotuned by Alternative Auto, has a 4 position SCT flip chip
Octastar wheels (chrome, of course) with newer centercaps, and spare centercaps.
B&M tranny cooler
j mod with mercon V

Punch amp for interior speakers. Front speakers are Kicker Resolutions, an RS6.2 component set. Rear speakers are infinity reference, at least 10 years old now. Punch 200x2 amp driving 12" solobaric (a round one) with a custom box. Kenwood Z919 head unit. Stereo components are a little old, but still function fine.
The car appears from the exterior to be a stock LSC. It's not an LSC, and it's not stock. The trim was replaced with LSC trim, so there is no chrome strip in the trim. If you paint the regular trim you can still see the strip where the chrome used to be. The grille, headlights, and taillights all have painted trim.
Everything works, the car is very reliable.
The car runs 13.9's. I can get 14 flat out of it any day of the week, and have a handful of time slips showing 1.9 60' times and 13.9 1/4 mile times. This is without any weight reduction, with the stereo still in the trunk, as well as the spare tire and jack. This is also with a paper air filter and a stock MAF sensor. I don't use a K&N because it doesn't filter well enough. Since i've put up those times, i've had the exhaust redone and fixed some problems with one of the header primaries. The car should have better than a 13.9 in it now, but i didn't get any good passes at the strip this year.
The car has been garaged winters since i've had it, and the previous owner did the same. The engine has had oil changes with Mobil 1 regularly since i've had it. Every 3000 miles for a long time, lately i've been stretching it further, but still not as long as Mobil recommends.
I have stacks of maintenance records from myself and the previous owner. Everything mechanical on this car works and is in good shape. The car drives straight, doesn't pull, handles excellently, and stops straight and smooth. It doesn't make any wierd noises, doesn't leak and doesn't smell.
This car has the "kale mod" done to the air suspension, or rather a variation of it. The car has been lowered very slightly by adjusting the sensors as well. There are switches in the center console to disable the stock suspension controls and eliminate the error message, and to control the height of each corner of the car.
The car has a two-way alarm with a remote start and an LCD readout on the remote.
This car will probably not pass any emissions inspections, but there will be no emissions codes if the OBDII system is scanned.
