				Yep! I decided to buy it, Yes it is an SS-III, No it doesn't have Beams. It had 74,480 Kms on the odometer when I took the keys today, What's it got? SS-III side skirts Super Strut Suspension Front & Rear Strut bars 3S-GE motor, Non VVT-i 16 Inch Factory Toyota wheels, 215/50R16 3 Spoke Steering Wheel Auto A/C electronic climate control unit Modern JDM tail lights Modern JDM front bumper Modern 3 Post spoiler What it doesn't have? Beams motor White interior Airbags Front and rear splitters red splash interior carpet (mines blue splash) Sunroof  extra knob on driver seat which remembers the driving position of the back rest It's an amazing upgrade from the '95 SS-I so I'm going to post pictures in this thread and list the things I do to it in time. I got a few things in mind which I'll list later on.
