Need help identifying what I've got?

My daughter couldn't make her payments so I had to take her car--bank was trashing my credit rating (I co-signed her note). Here's the TL-S

Need help identifying some of the mods? What's this?

Seems to have Comptech headers and free-flow exhaust (sounds great)

Interior--blue bat switch on dash turns on neon pedals and a neon foot well light that flashes to the beat of the subwoofer

I would appreciate any help on identifying the mods on the car and what they are worth to an enthusiast. I'm going to have to sell the car, my garage is full! (2 Mini Coopers, BMW M-5, Highlander). Meantime, It sure is fun to drive and show off!

That is a nice, clean '02 ABP. 2 Minis? Sell one of those and keep this car.

As for the mods I see:

suspension lowering
Injen cold air intake
clear diffuser (front parking light)
rear tint
body-color painted engine cover (no value)
billet oil cap (no value)
Comptech headers
Comptech cat-back exhaust ?
OEM body lip kit
OEM trunk spoiler
rubber floor mats

I'm assuming since you're selling the car as is with all the parts, it should easily boost the value by $1000 - $1500, but probably not much more than that.

Pics work fine for me. Very clean car. Also seems to have aluminum trim for the dash as well, or I'm seeing things. I say keep it!

I am pretty sure you cant call dibs here, and if people start calling dibs a mod will close the thread.

hey karlallen, how many miles on the car? I would just keep that car, looks awesome. If you do decide to part out/ sell you can post it up in the black market section.

Dont forget the stainless steel license plate frame. Should be good for another $2 !

Thanks for your comments

Hey, everybody. Thanks for the info and advice. Can't part out the car bc she bought it already tricked out. I don't have the OEMs to put back on. The only thing she added was the neons inside. She also trashed the Bose system by playing it too loud. Blew out the mids and tweeters and jammed the CD player.

I might just sell my Mini and drive this for a couple of years. It only has 68K on the clock. It sure gets attention! I've been pulled over twice by troopers who just wanted to get a better look at the car! No ticket! They sure are surprised when they find out a 60-year-old 'geezer' has a sweet ride like this!

Yeah I would keep it! That TL-S was definitely done right. The only thing I can think of to make it better would be a Comptech supercharger. It's got everything else!
