if it's just the covers then you need hog rings probably, or there should be a plastic clip attached to the material that hooks to the cushion. Sounds like the job was half a***d

no the front seats are done nicely. so are the back seats backs. he said that he needed some special tool to attach the bottoms. and he never got around to it. the seats are a month old

i havent driven it since i bought it..need to sell the old one first..

but ya suspension it fully adjustable coilovers with shocks and springs..pan hard bar, umi uppercontrol arms, and i believe it has subframe connectors

+because of that annoying banging on the undercarriage from some exhaust piece it was hard to notice anything else

Shoot me a PM with your questions about the seat covers. Like I said before I have the exact same seat covers on my car and I installed them myself so I know what needs to be done.

that is the definition of half a***d. The special tool is hog ring pliers I made mine out of a pair of craftsman pliers (only ones soft enough to grind) but a real set is only about $20 and is usually included with hog rings, and upholstery (if bought from a legitimate shop not ebay) When you buy a car and stuff like that isn't done, always look real close at everything else on the car (on a used car always assume the worst about the seller, that way you don't lose your shirt if it's hacked) the front seats would use the same tool as the rears by the way, so he probably just got lazy

Sounds like you got a good deal, but if you are afraid to floor it because of how fast it is, do you think its a good idea for you to have a car that fast?

Being scared of a car's power is never good- respect for the power is. My only advice to you would be to not get cocky too fast and think you can handle the car. My car has surprised me a couple times but if you are ready for it and know what it can do you will be fine. I would suggest going to a large open parking lot- pref. one that is closed and start throwing the car around. That way you will start to know when it can break loose and how it reacts.

Yeah I've always owned V8s, so the adjustment wasn't as large as some. My LS1 has surprised me some before, but never anything completely out of the ordinary. Lol I knew I was getting a motor touched by the hand of God when I bought it...J/K...sorta.
