Good score.
The person who had it def was a member on this site! I wish I had wood steering....but there are not any tan wood steering wheels. The only thing I don't like is the fake rice HID kit and fogs. I personally can't stand to see that and I actually turn my lights on bright to blind people back lol.

all the factory upgrades,are 2001 + upgrades not 2002 (well they were around in 2002 but came out first in 2001).the chrome trunk bar is the only non OEM upgrade

OP, car looks nice. do you know who the old owner was? also if you want to convert back to E-shift, just find a black/wood steering wheel with e-shift

Nice find!! Welcome to the club!! By the way you need replace your parking lights. Based on the photo, they appear to be burned out, or not connected.

Also, when your budget allows change your head/fog lamps to <6000K. IMHO 6000K and up look "rice".

BTW, if you're gonna keep it a while, do the aux in mod. It'll sound TONS better than that tape adapter you're using, not to mention, look much cleaner.

Thanks for the info on the aux mod. I do plan on keeping it for a while so it will be something I will def invest in.

The owner I bought it from was from Brooklyn NY, he was the second owner. The original owner did all the upgrades and im not sure where he's from.

Aux in mod is very cheap. If you know you won't use your cd changer it's almost free. All you need is an RCA cable, and an mp3/phone audio cable.

For another $40 or so you can pick up a Motorola T-605, and get handsfree cell phone, and stream bluetooth audio to factory stereo.

Now THAT'S some low budget ballin'!!

I knew about the aux mod but had no idea about the bluetooth audio to factory stereo. That's awesome!
