on the inside door panels there will be a courtesy light.

spoiler with LED strip.

no third brake light in rear window

straight spoke 5 spoke rims

when you start the car the ATTS light will appear in the dash. then go away.

leather wrapped shift ****.


cant think of anything else right now.

Don't know how convievient it would be to look but the ATTS unit is bolted onto the back of the block towards the driver's side. It is 80#s of crap that replaces the base model's intermediate shaft. So I think that you can see if it if you turn the wheels all the way to the right and try to look behind the front driver's side wheel. Otherwise like DsR said look for the oil filter.

Also remmeber all SH models are 5spd. If some one says they have an SH and its an auto....

unless of course they did an auto swap

Also there are to metal cooling lines that go over the transmission, those are ATTS cooling lines.
