In need of 6Speeder Friends- Who recognize this car from California ?

Hi,

A friend of mine has purchased this car from california. He's a really good guy who made this purchase solely on the trust he had toward the seller who initially, described his car as immaculate and not accidented. I will save details and know that he should have come to see it itself but what's done is done. Car is now in Canada...

I would like all of you how know this car to chime in or PM me. I may have a few questions for you as to why it is entirely repainted, why the fenders are no the same size and has bent shocks etc....

Car has upgraded Brembo floating rotor in the front and some "subwoofer" box on the back. Car also has "gutted" modified oem muffler...

The seller is probably native from India ...

CALL THEM.

(I recognize that there may be a language thing here, but..)

I think you will find that people will give you more information verbally then they might commit to in writing. Especially if it is a touchy situation...

Good luck.

NO... carbon batwing but no heated seat switch.. Also, very weird... does not have the button to put the wing up or down...

After all... I am not 100% on the switch, but the only carbon piece in the car are the sills and the batwing...

Does the carbon bat wing have 2 holes for heated seat switches?

hmm.... really?

I think theres a chance thats the car i'm talking about...

the reason why it still has carbon sills is because i traded the previous owner for his full carbon and we couldn't remove the sills without damaging them.

The reason why the fender shapes are different is because the car was in an accident. I met the owner once at speed gallery, from what i remember he was a native of india.

i thought he had heated seats because the batwing i got was for heated seats, but i forgot my batwing was modified for v1. That is why there is still a carbon batwing + carbon sills. If the story matches he has the baseline interior from my turbo (no AL shifter or ebrake) Also the panel on the driver side rear that covers the seat belts and rear speaker sticks out a bit.
