    It is well preserved. Remove the orange and it's pristine paint. This car was babied and appreciated. Might not be my cup of tea, good on him for making it his own.

    "Wrapped, loaded with extras"

    This is exactly the type of vehicle where bone stock is more marketable. If he returns it back to stock, a GP2 with 4,250 miles might get some real interest. Nobody in the market for a GP2 wants to spend an extra penny for any of the mods. Seriously, Alta intercooler and exhaust?

    I like it of course!!! Not in the market for it though. Seems to be priced on the very high end for a GP2.. Can't really factor in the cost for mods as we all know once it's time to sell.. Well kept though..

    One of the reasons I didn't buy a GP was the color scheme and the graphics. Good for the owner for coming up with an alternative and executing it well.

    However, I'm a little concerned about the "Titanium heat child" in the Ebay description. I guess that's just more evidence of the immigration problem we have here in the U.S.

    Yup. It's a right-buyer kind of car. You'd have to find the guy that just had to have it. The other thing is the $38k price. Think of the cars you could get for that money.

    Spa2k did mention the "Titanium heat child", but maybe it really does come with a kid.
    Titanium heat child over the turbocharger to protect the CF intake form the heat.

    It's not for me but as others have said the paint will be well preserved. The price seems a bit on the high side for my budget, well actually on the real high side so I think I'll pass at this time.
