Issues:

-Had to buy aftermarket padded covers for the hinges, knee hit the hinge
-Gas, clutch and brake peddles, vibration will wear out the pin that holds them in place, replaced once on the gas peddle
-Had to buy a "big man's seat" seat, placed me too high and too close to the dash
-At the time that I bought the car there was not enough information as to aftermarket options available, I added on after it was assembled, could have saved some money if those options were available at the time of purchase
-Had to upgrade the exhaust headers to the larger diameter pipes, the ones that came with the car were smaller and did not allow the engine to breathe properly (I believe this has been corrected now)
-You should have the option to purchase different weight springs during the ordering process rather than searching the after market
-There is barely enough room to fit in the license plate between the trunk handle and the light

These issues are really nit picking the car, the comment earlier about purchasing the car from someone you like to deal with is important, follow that advice. I had a very good buying experience when I bought mine and I had a great installer, research this ahead of time will save you a lot of headache. I am selling my SPF due to the state of the economy and I will absolutely buy another one once and if the economy returns, before I get too much older and if I am able to resolve some health issues.
