Very nice! Welcome to the list!

Are the parts in your engine bay painted or powder coated?

Thanks everyone,
Porshhhh951 I do interior work, so cost would be materials only for me. Don't know what a shop would charge.
Bill, all that engine stuff is paint, easier to change color.

I love how you switched the position of the headunit with the gauges. If I had the gauges/boost controller down low like most people have, my knee would block half of them. Great idea moving them up one space!

Agreed. Beautiful.

I like the interior. It works with the silver rose exterior.
My interior was changed over to corbeau seats, I'm noticing some fading on the black seat. You can see the bottom cushion is faded too.
I would buy recaros. But not for your current car.

Corbeau FX-1 Pros

I have a 34" waist and they are perfect. But they are very narrow.

Did you gain any headroom by going to that setup? I'm 6'7 and cant fit in my car with a helmet on unless the sunroof is out (and even then the helmet sticks out the top a little).

I'm 6'4 and with this set up mounted on sliding rails, My forehead was almost touching the ceiling. I have since added a bracket to the front of the rails, It lifts the Front of the seat roughly 1 1/2" while the back remains flat. Now i fit almost perfectly. But 6'7 would be pushing it. The PO told me that if i used brackets to mount the seat i could lower the seat an extra inch, but i would loss a ton of leg room if i used the stock bolt holes in the floor.
I don't want to drill through the floor to mount seat brackets, but if that was my only option, i assume it would work. It may feel like a lazy boy when you are done however.
