I've never seen those rear overfenders before. It doesn't look riveted on, so it might just be double sided tape. Ask the owner.

They look like the overfenders that would come with a vielside body kit or replicas of the rear overfenders. Either way they are ugly and removable, probably will require new paint tho once removed.

Thanks for the replies.
Yeah I think im going to wait and get an 02 to 03.
The interior is kinda rough also and looks like he may not have taken very good care of it.
Thanks guys

I'd keep looking. that paint looks really faded on the right side of the car there. Black paint should be highly reflective when clean.

Personally, I'd keep looking.

This car was most likely modded, and brought back close to stock to sell, which makes me even more skeptical of the over-fenders as they must have been too difficult for the current owner to remove.

In addition to what you said about the interior and what someone else said about the paint, I see it's missing it's antenna, it's got '04-'05 wheels (IMO, the prettiest of the stock wheels, but not the ones that came with the car), looks like the "H"-logos were shaved, it's got the plastic window, an aftermarket exhaust, AND those overfenders.

I'd keep looking.

I don't think the paint is faded. It looks it has been repainted with a cheap single stage paint job. I'd keep looking unless you can get a super steal of a deal on it.

Paint definitely looks faded, that or it was a old <3 mp cell phone camera.

And like the others have said, that was probably modded quite a bit and driven hard.

Don't wait for an 02 though, AP1 ftw!!!
