Not sure what your question is. Is it a ricer? Certainly. Would I buy such a car? Yes because it appears to have been well cared for. I can always remove the boy racer spoiler and ground effects kit. I can raise it back up to stock height. The wheels look okay although I personally favor a 17" on this car.

I'd probably look at it real close and pass. Putting it back to stock appearance wouldn't be too hard but a little time consuming. Maintenance looks to be good, even maybe a little over done or exaggerated. And a setup like this will demand more maintenance, more often. Do you want to spend the the time and money? Now answer this; if you owned a car set up like this, would or would you not launch into it? I'm older and yes, I would, I'd drive it the way it's set up to be driven, not all the time but often and hard. So, no offence to you or the seller, you want to take what he says with several grains of salt.
It is a nicely done vehicle and looks great from the pictures. I'd be near tempted to offer 2 grand just to have the parts, use what I wanted/needed and resell the rest.

Sure the kit is not everyone's style.... but cmon, I think it's childish to make fun of it... someone out there likes that stuff.

I just feel it doesnt belong on the car. maybe a lancer or something. but not a 2ES. i've seen 2ESs be executed flawlessly, but I think we all can concur that the front bumper was where it was killed.

It sort of look like a cressida.

Why is my signature picture not showing? Anybody knows the trick

That is some major RICE action if I've ever seen it.

rice or not, its their car. now it's not what I would do but it's not my car. what's worse is you decided to make a whole thread clowning on someone else's ride. some people just have different opinions. there really is no need for all that.
