There is alot of things i have left out in the description, but everything has been updated or renewed with performance and durability in mind. i can guarantee you can drive this car daily and then take it to the track on the weekend and eat some ricers and ferraris. also comes with a car alarm system which is not installed and custom car cover
feel free to ask any questions, i have receipts for everything and pictures of the build, cost over 160k in cluding the price of the car inititally for me to build this project so i believe the deal is great
