Does anyone else find it odd that the leather seats in the car are not perforated?

That switch kinda reminds me of the one that comes with Dom's unit. The one that 99% of us upgrade with a nice lighted one.

The car definitely looks like it took tips from AZ. I see about 10 AZ popular mods on that car. I doubt someone could pull all those off every one of those mods without a DIY, tips or advice from here. Maybe the owner was more of an observer than a contributor. That condensation in the headlight is definitely going to be a turn-off with many buyers. That is a very telling sign. If he wasn't willing to fix that obvious problem before the sale, imagine what other things could be wrong with the car. Knock 1k off the price please.

The inverter on the rear hump is a no-no. The installs don't look pro or safe and sound at all. I bet under the carpeting it is an electrical nightmare. The next owner may get a few surprises.

By the way that RAZO gearshift knob looks really nice. A bit more meaty than the 07+ version and that silver trim goes well with the interior.

I think the front grill looks pretty well done. The only BIG issue witht he car is the stereo setup which looks like an electrical nightmare

Do ya'll think it helps the sale of the car for our grilles to stay modded? I mean, if it's one of us, we want it right? Or would you make me lower the price even though you KNOW yo ass love it?

Serious question - Get Back At Me!!

As for grille mods it depends who buys it. If it is an enthusiast they will appreciate it. (You won't make money off it.) Anybody else may demand a new bumper in which case you'd be able to sell it to somebody on acurazine pretty easy.

BTW I have never seen somebody drill through the license plate for a camera. Number one; isn't that illegal? Number two; isn't there another way to put in a camera?

That is def illegal as all tags remain state property while in your possession!

There is another Bay Area TL that has the camera drilled into the plates. I think they both went to the same guy that installed their back up camera and sound system.
