Yes 105k Maintenance is done.
The only issue I can think of is that the clock doesn't work. (I planned on putting a gauge pod in so I never bothered)

This will be going back up for 12K soon. I hit something on the freeway and lost the front lip plus 1 side skirt and 1 STI foglight cover no damage to anything else. I will try to get some new side skirts before I repost with new pics.

You selling it missing a fog cover and a side skirt? Be better of spending a few bucks to replace them... even if it's just picking up some black sti skirts or something matching.
People don't like things that they have to chase around parts on.
Clear car though...

I will be replacing the side skirts, as for the fog light cover and front lip I will probably sell without them. Those things are really a matter of personal taste. I happened to like them but the new owner might want to run a different lip or no lip to avoid scraping on everything.

Mileage: 102,xxx
as for the price I see these cars listed on craigslist around 10k for a good stock example.
The headlights go for $1000
The custom one off wheel and tire setup $2000
The RA transmission from speed element $3000
The Coilovers $1200
Those four mods already put me over my asking price. I understand you never get back what you put into a car, but even if this car were to sell for my full asking price I would be losing a lot of money.
I'm putting this up to see if anyone is interested in a cool bugeye that's a little different. I do like this car and am not in a hurry to sell. This car has no issues, and is currently my DD. No hurry to sell I just want to switch it up and get something pre smog.

sorry to tell you but when you sell your car you cant add up mods. your price is only based on how many miles you have on your chassis so your car blue books for about 7-9k maybe 10k if your lucky. i have a build motor, wilwood BBK etc etc . and i would be lucky if i got 12k for it on a motor that has 10k with a complete 04 STI swap in my 02 bugeye... good luck but that price is way to high for the milage.

This car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay. Clearly no one in this thread is actually interested in the car, especially those saying things like "blue book" and "for the mileage" but even still, there will be someone for which this car is perfect, and they might have the personal knowledge that it would take a crap-ton more money to get another BugEye to where this car is.
For all the rest, go to CL and keep looking for those $5-$6k BugEyes, and just dream of one like this because that is as close as it will get. Myself, I bought a "pretty nice" BugEye with 54k miles in 2012, and then spent at least the purchase price of the car over the last two years correcting issues and making things a little nicer. Now, I have gone beyond that with more sensible mods done right (bracing, suspension, replacing wear items that are not worn out). Two years ago, this was a KBB car. Now it's not. Just the way it goes.
I am not saying that it "should be" worth more to you, but what I am saying is that telling me that my car is worth less because of other cars that do not compare to it, does not make a lot of sense. The same goes with this car.
People realize this the first time they actually spend some money on a car, and then try to sell it later. Most people have not had the experience of spending actual money on a car build, and that comes across in threads like this.
The way I look at it, if you are actually interested, make an offer that you feel is sensible. I really have no idea what one thinks to gain by coming in these threads and ignorantly saying that based on no info at all, this price is too high.
But hey, whatever. It happens a lot.
To the OP: GLWS, the car looks wicked.
