paint is very shiny ive waxed it myself, the body does have dings here and there but not to bad for being a 16 year old car. its by no means perfect, but could be very close, very easily. and he does have another stock intake manifold for it with a supposedly good iac valve it just hasnt been installed. youd have to see it. and he does have a i believe type r spoiler sitting in his room because he liked how it looked with it off better. let me see if i can find a pic for you.
