If I was going to buy that, the first thing to go would be the RS badges and 2 new front guards. The RS side bits are cut into the panel? New XR5 badges to go back on.

Yeah, I'd swap the side/fender vents to ST side vents in the same style and swap the front and rear badges to ST ones too.

The Mods are pretty high quality, full 3 inch stainless exhaust with hi-flow 100Cel metal cat, front mount intercooler, enclosed cold air intake system, silicone boost hoses, engine re-map and flash tuning device, as well as things like the rear wing which are close to a grand iirc and the bonnet vents etc.

If you bought a new XR5 then drove it next door to Black Mac and wanted the same bits you'd end up paying more than $52k but I agree, it is a lot of money upfront for an XR5
