Flaws (or...different preferences?) spotted:<br>
- car is lowered ;)<br>
- front apron<br>
- window cranks<br>
- relay hanging down under dash<br>
- brake pedal stop position<br>
- carpet instead of rubber floor mats<br>
- bogus plasticky liner in trunk<br>
- carpet in trunk<br>
- no rear engine support (IRS conversion, maybe?)<br>
- everything in the engine compartment, really ;)<br>
- missing felt around sunroof opening<br>
- having a sunroof in general<br>
- black window squirter nozzle<br>
- wipers<br>
- shoddy fender beading, particularly the rears<br>
- rear reflectors are some generic replacements<br>
<br>
What else?<br>
