i just got my self a 10AE!!!



how do i break down the VIN to make sure its a real 10AE?



also, i need some interior pics, maybe a spec sheet to make sure its all there. the guy i got it from didnt like the gold tinted windows and pulled it off the side windows. and swapped the rear hatch. plus, he changed the bumpers to S5 along with the tail lights. plus i know the interior is changed out. i want to put back everything to 10AE except for the taillights and bumpers...soooooo, i really just need to figure out whats the seat and door panel difference.



i'll post up some pics later on.



car has 409 WHP at 14psi with 11.6 afr! theres plenty more power to be had there...starts perfect even when hot or cold. just needs paint...

the tint is baked INTO the glass, you can pull it off.



for the vin go to the dealer, the parts catalog will tell you if its a real 10ae or not



parts catalog also tells you what should be on the car, as far as trim etc.

so he must of swapped the side windows then. he said he didnt like the gold. the only gold one left is the front.

yep, also kinda common for these to be broken into

j9fd3s 05-18-2008 09:01 PM

Ha, yea when i ran the carfax on my old ae it had been stolen twice.

yea restore a 10ae back to a 10ae....so itll be worth less then it is now.



seriously theres no way the 10ae was limited production, its all i EVER see for sale, other then auto verts.



anywho. please stay out of this cars engine bay we saw what happened to the others, lol.
