Not a 100. Has the belt line on the doors. Look at the calipers. Not silver.

Otherwise, car looks great. Loving the drop and looks to have an exhaust.

Brandon, it does have the Brembo brakes on it. I will admit that the side molding does make it a little bit suspicious. I’m sure it’s possible to buy the molding, paint it and add it on there to a real 100. 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Real way would be to see build date, and the interior wood grain, steering wheel and shifter.

Does have the calipers, but they are the r1 color. 100s brembo calipers were all silver.

It also has the blacked out window trim. Is that even available to buy anymore?

good eyes, almost fooled me at a glance even being a former owner of a 100.

yes, the 100 calipers are silver which I still have a complete set as my spare. and should not have door molding..

North American spec 100s came with chrome window trims which almost every one hates.

I much prefer the stainless window surrounds to the blacked out ones and I don’t think I’m in the minority with that.

Some people also seem to like permanent black brake dust all over their wheels…or are they painted black? And if so, why? Iguess it saves the bother of cleaning the wheels.
