Default Trying to find the previous owner of my CTS-V

I bought an '05 CTS-V over memorial day... I've always wanted one, and this just popped up at the right time, so I jumped on it:
http://autoiqinc.com/web/frontline/9...-18-32-53.html

Upon inquiring about the car, i was told it was basically stock...fair enough, the price is fine, i bought it.

Flash forward to this past weekend....I was finally in state for an entire weekend so I looked the car over. It's not stock, but close. So far I've found:

1. Cross drilled/slotted rotors on front and rear
2. Appears to have EBC yellow stuff pads
3. It has the FG2 shocks
4. BMR "anti-wheel hop" kit
5. BMR pinion support brace
6. Aftermarket rear wing
7. At some point had a stereo (i removed all supplemental wiring)
8. Dark tinted windows (could have been done by the dealer, not sure)

I'm just trying to track down the original owner to see what all is actually done....in case there's stuff I haven't noticed....don't want to buy parts that have already been changed!

I've met more V owners not on forums randomly thati have met those that are. I would start by maybe asking the dealer if they know and could ask them for you

That sounds 'basically stock' to me.

I bet they'll be listing Vsports as Vs as soon as they hit the floor.

I bought my car, and when I dug around in the glove box, I found his certificate for Concealed Carry, which listed his full name and his social security number...

Found someone on facebook that lived in the same general area, and sent a message, but never got a reply back.

*shrug*
