It's def super. '03 Carrera GT with 2500 miles on it. Meteor with terracota interior. Sadly the owner has had that stored at my dealer for 3 years and has barely touched it.

Thx for the replies gents. There are a few bits left to do but I'm almost there.
@bluecrab - I bought all the trim pieces from Suncoast and Sunset and had my dealer here in CT do all the work.
My RO was 8 pages long. I'll list all the things I replaced if anyone cares. My dealer thought I was crazy at first but now that the work is done, they see why I did it. Thankfully the interior was almost perfect on this car to begin with. Only had to touch up a few knicks made from the seatbelt.
Basically any trim piece that could be easily changed out got replaced.
Last step is a good wet sanding/paint correction to get rid of a few slightly etched water spots. Anyone have recommends for the best body shop to do that work here in Southern CT?

. Engine and mechanicals are in fantastic condition, which is what is really important. Interior is in excellent shape (for a 38k mile car) too.
The outside just needed a bit of love as it was a driven car and, from what i gather, parked outside during Spring -> Fall in the South Carolina sun at former owner's medical practice
