Hell, the body looks like someone parked it in a driving range. The more I tear in to this car, the more absurdity I find. Here's a short list of things I found post purchase after the seller claimed it was "Bone stock" (pic below was the day I brought it home)[ATTACH=full]19557[/ATTACH]-Cobra bumper that was rattlecanned AFTER installation; overspray on the headlights, underhood trim, and tires-Cheap rep wheels on 3" spacer/adapters with bubbling tires-aftermarket x-pipe hung with whatever hangars and clamps they could find at Autozone-steeda tri-ax shifter installed without RTV or a gasket; 2 bolts were backed out by hand-3 different brand spark plugs used; 1 being copper while the rest are OEM platinumAnd the newest addition to the list: bad rear calipers[ATTACH=full]19554[/ATTACH]Surprise surprise, looks like these got rattle canned as well! Pads had no hardware clips and no lubrication grease whatsoever. This one had a ripped boot and a seized piston. Apparently I was braking on three corners only. Odd, because I never felt the car pull. Pads were shockingly in great shape.[ATTACH=full]19555[/ATTACH]New hats and hardware put on. Note the red parking brake cable and springs on the pads...jayzusCurrent state of the car, still a long way to go (headlights are next I promise)[ATTACH=full]19556[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
