• Carpet was new in late 2016. After all the paint and body work, it is a bit dirty. I personally would replace it. Black would look great. The custom "Bel Air" floor mats shown in a couple pictures are included. They're new, unused. Placed in the car just for pictures.
• The trunk is not upholstered. Cardboard panel kit included (sides and front, brand new in the box)
• The rear window is acrylic. I'm ok with it; just so the buyer is aware and wants to install glass.
• The cardboard backing on the 2 interior door panels could use some attention. Simply replace the cardboard backing, the vinyl is excellent.
• Driving/parking lights included but not installed. I ran out of time for the small stuff. Very easy install, wiring/bulbs are already there.
• The engine bay could use a good detail job. It's clean but has a bit of over-spray and dust.
• A couple interior trim pieces need reinstalled (reason the headliner is sagging a bit, they hold it in)
