New 2010 SS owner. Easy questions

Hi again guys
Just a couple easy questions. I'm a new turbo owner from a 07 SSNA. My car has a couple of things done to it cosmetically by first original owner so I'm curious as to what's stock or not.
-when I open the door it says TURBOCHARGED on the lower part by the seat. I assume this is stock right?
-since the car was debadged, on the dash passenger side it says again TURBOCHARGED. On my 07 it said "SS". Is that normal?
-my car has lights under the door armrests illuminating the door pockets. That normal?
-there's no center armrest in this car. The 07 SSNA had that.
-the parking/ebrake is MOMO. Stock?

Thankfully everything mechanical is stock. Car was 145 000 km for $7700 Cdn after taxes from some kid who had it for 6 months but couldn't afford it.

None of that is factory. A lot of guys added the center armrest, which they robbed from other ssna cars or there was a lot sold to add it, like I added.

The TURBOCHARGED silver badge is the stock one i see on the trunks of SS turbos. I guess the owner changed out the SS for the TURBOCHARGED from his trunk

There were a couple of companies who made the kick plates in your door jamb with different options of names that you could swap in. Don't know if any are still in business.
You can add the center console, it's not hard to do.
If you have torque steer first thing I would check is your rear control arm bushings. I have very little to no torque steer and I'm at 370whp. Stock cabs are prone to tearing. Rotated trans mount helps to.

No it drives fine. I just wrote that because its a common thing I read on here; the torque steer. This car sounds and drives great. I found the original owner and sent him a msg on facebook. Lets see if he replies

Torque steer unless you are at real high levels shouldn't be an issue. The issue is everyone cheaps out and puts inexpensive parts on their car, and then complains about how poorly the car drives.

^This. You gotta pay to play. Good parts aren't cheap, unless you can find someone parting out what you need. Seeing as you are in Ontario you may want to look up John Powell he makes some great us stuff for our cars. I have a hardcore bar, air oil separator, control arm bushings from Powell
