Overall this is a beautiful car with a lot of rare components added in. However it is not perfect, and does have some flaws as one would expect with a car of this age and mileage:
• Cracked windshield
• Clearcoat issues on hood and around door trim
• Dents/dings/scratches
• Could use new tires at some point
• Wheel scuffs
• Slight bumper fit issue (I think previous owner hit a small animal and did not replace the bumper cover)
• Short shifter rattle
• CEL presumably due to header (Has non-foulers installed, however they may need to be redrilled) but runs fine
• Nearly 15 year old car with 178,xxx miles

Asking $4700 OBO for the car as it sits. This price does not include the additional aftermarket parts that are not currently installed. I am open to trading up or down or partial trades for the right car. I’m mainly interested in Subarus (would love a 2 door 2.5rs, SVX, or first gen Legacy SS), however I would be willing to hear any other trades as long as they were interesting. I would also be willing to remove some of the aftermarket parts and do a partial/full return to stock for a reduced price. Car is sold as-is and where-is with no warranty expressed or implied.

Don't by shy on making me an offer on the car. I'd like to see it go to an enthusiast if at all possible.

Very clean P5 GLWS, I cannot figure out how you managed to make the sedan seat covers fit the P5 seats but nice work! You wouldn't happen to have the fog deletes/inserts for one of the 03.5 front lips you have, do you? I have been looking for a set for months and they are extremely difficult to locate. Will pay for them if you are interested
 
Give this a bump for anyone who may be interested. Car has been largely returned to stock and now features a much cheaper price. the exterior looks 90% the same at the moment.
