Need some Shelby SME help.

[2017RoushStage3]

Starting my quest to purchase my first Shelby and this One popped up 3 miles from my house. Its still being services so won't be able to look at it for a couple days.
Looking at the pictures I see some aftermarket cosmetic "upgrades" but was wondering if the experts could look a bit closer and see if there is anything that jumps out?
Are the wheels original? They look funny to me. Spoiler?

I will be trading in a Roush Stage 3 for it.

Appreciate the help!

That’s a really nice color combo, didn’t need the enhancements. But that’s subjective. Looks oike they’re easily reversed. The pics aren’t the best so it’s hard to tell on the wheels if they’ve just been painted(outter edge) or they’re a knock off. Tire size looks correct. A 19-20 rear spoiler is an inexpensive and nice cosmetic upgrade. Didn’t see a link for a carfax check, and run an oasis. Should be real simple considering what dealer it’s at. Price wise it’s about right. Depending on where they are on your trade you may get them to throw an extended warranty in for peace of mind(some think this is a must, if it’s your daily not bad idea).

Sorry the link to the ad was bad...
Thanks for the input. I just have to convince my wife this is a good idea...

Thought you might be interested in this CarGurus listing:

I think those are OEM rims with painted edge. Not sure about the spoiler. Shift knob, the catastrophe over the glove box, everything white under the hood except the frame, and the coolant reservoir.

Did all white w/ blue stripes come with the GT350 logos on the lower sides?

I thought that in 2018 the brake rotors were solid no cross drilled?

My 2018 has drilled rotors, I think solid rotors were 19-20.

Looks likeit has one of those little wheel lip protector kits or something as you can see there's a larger section on them where the two ends of the plastic rings meet.

Rotors are cross drilled as they should be.

Not a fan of comfort seats, but they look to be in good condition.

Obviously has custom side stripes and custom badge overlays. Cheesy pony vent covers (GT350's don't have any horse emblems anywhere on them from the factory), lots of "car show shit" under the hood as well. Only real "mod" seems to be the Airraid/Ford Racing air filter. Fender gap looks stock so likely stock suspension.

I hope it is just rim protectors. Those would be the first to come off.
Yeah don't like the vents either.
I've driven a 350 with the Recaros and they are great once you are in but I think my wife would prefer the comfort seats. I want her to drive this one.

Wont be able to go look at until Friday due to my work schedule. Gives me some time to work on the wife...

It appears to be one of those rim protectors. You can see the seam by the valve stem. Wheels appear to be the stock wheels without those protectors.

Agree with others, cosmetic stuff is easy enough to take care of if you want it removed (I kinda like the shift knob personally). If you prefer the “Swing” that was on the 2019-2020 cars (and the GT500 and Mach 1 HP), Ford Performance sells it. Easy swap. The spoiler that is currently on the car is the track pack spoiler, which is OEM. Price is about right, as Charlie mentioned ask for a CarFax and Oasis report from the dealer.

Oddly enough my wife prefers the Recaros over her 28 way adjustable air seats in her Lincoln Aviator Black Series. No other car she's ever sat in has cradled her back better she claims.
