No litronics? Hopefully it's not all wood layout in the cabin.. Can get overwhelming.. You buying locally?

Yes it is local, and wood only on steering wheel and shifter.

Am I missing something on the litronics?

Litronics are the HID lights. The pic you posted are not Litronics.

Other than the cool factor, you will still be able to drive at night. If you like it and the PPI checks, then buy it. GLWP.

Looks like he put a cover on the headlight and you have the first generation of the headlights but that's ok because you can start the mod process... Watch out though because once you start it's hard to stop....

I know the rear lights are mod'd to LED and no orange lenses. Will post pics, when and if...

Thanks everyone. If there is any more input on the options numbers, I'd appreciate it.

Just go here with the VIN and it will tell what you need to know.

According to my research, the codes translate as:

XE8 Gear lever **** aluminium/dark burr maple/leather

XE9 Handbrake lever aluminium/dark burr maple/leather

375 Sports seat, backrest shell, left

376 Sports seat, backrest shell, right
