OK, it's time for her to go... I am changing the description since it's last post a couple of months ago. I am serious about selling the car now. Interior pictures will follow soon. A few things about the car:

-TRD factory body kit
-TRD spoiler was removed about 4 years ago. Still in excellent condition and can be reattached easily. I don't have an updated picture with it on but can do this for those intersted.
-Tein coilovers
-HKS full exhaust system
-Hotchkiss camber kit
-Manual transmission (6-speed)
-135k miles
-I have all the original stock parts that have been changed with aftermarket parts.
-Tires are still very good.
-Cloth interior
-Everything else on the car is stock, including the engine and transmission. The engine runs very strong and transmission shifts smoothly. I get about an average 30 mpg. I change the oil every 5,000 miles with mobile-1 fully synthetic oil and purolator pureone oil filter. Transmission oil is changed every 20,000 miles with redline mt-90. It is due for another change at 140,000 miles.

-Sidenote: I have 18" rims for this car as well. It looks really great on it (I think). I will have pictures soon. These rims are sold separately. Will need new tires for the rims, however.

**PROBLEMS**
---front, bottom grill is held on with a zip tie. You'll need another metal grill --- you can buy these from home depot and cut to it's shape and install. I'm just too lazy to do this. Let's face it, the car is lowered with the coilovers and I am going to scrap the front bumper. Over time, it just shaved the metal grill.
---I have the notorious belt tensioner squeel that these cars are known for. I have records that the tensioner was changed several times from the dealer when it was under warranty. It never got fixed completely and returned after a few months (after it was out of warranty). I have been living with the belt squeel for the last 6 years without any problems whatsoever. If you are not familiar with the squeel, it only occurs (for me at least) in the morning AND when it is very humid. After the car warms up the squeel disappears. When it is not humid in the morning the squeel does not occur. So, that said, the squeel does not happen all the time.. only under those conditions aforementioned. Everything else about the car is in very good condition.

    There have been instances when even experts have been fooled by the quality of these [URL="http://www.swissqualitywatches.com/bvlgari-replica-18.html"][B]Bvlgari Replica[/B][/URL] and they find it hard to believe that someone can manufacture [URL="http://www.swissqualitywatches.com"][B]Rolex replica watches[/B][/URL] that bear such a striking resemblance to the original.
