Cons;

-There isn’t any defroster or heater. Most of the components are present (condition is unknown), but some of the missing items will need to be installed to make it complete. I have everything that’s missing except the ducting and control cable escutcheons.
-The exhaust system tone tends to drown out the bass on the stereo.
