Some things I have listed above I have and are ready to install but cannot due to needing the car painted and needs to be taken off in order for them to do so. Mostly all the interior. The doors, fenders, hood, hatch, grill, carpeting, seats, dash is all taken out of or off of the car right now. Plus I would like to go with Fiberglass body parts. But I do have all the parts and they are all refurbished. Although I could probably use some new side cargo panels and rear taillight panels. Mine are pretty scratched up and have some holes drilled in them from previous owner.
