Yes, I will be eagerly anticipating a write up! I've had my eye on his auctions for awhile---never pulled the trigger. Seems like a great deal, I'll probably buy if your experience is good. Thanks!

 

It's been almost 7 months since I last posted on this thread, but I was finally able to pull the car out of storage today and take some photos of the upgraded interior (which was completed before Christmas). I swapped out the OEM black interior parts for the Arctic Silver console, visor, and stereo surround. I also had the electric seat covers painted and I replaced the e-brake and black shifter with CF components.

Tony at "Exotic-Toys" was very easy to deal with. He is very professional; a trustworthy individual who was extremely cooperative through the entire transaction and his work is top quality. He was also excellent at keeping me informed of the progress via email and over the phone and in the end wanted to ensure that everything went back into the car without any problems.

Here are the new pics...(one before, then several after):

 

Looks great!!!

 

looks great..you need to tell me how you removed the cigerette lighter from the horseshoe...i was installating a new switch the other day and wanted to remove the horseshoe complete, but could not figure out how to remove the lighter...did not want to force anything...thanks.

 

+1, Quality is excelent!

I have the Arctic silver console and in Alumalook the gauge surround and key trim..

 

Looks great, thanks for the pics and feedback. I guess I'll have to get mine painted now. Any problems with the durability?

 

that looks way better. consider painting those side vents as well since it's so easy to see.

 

Nice upgrades!

 

Thanks for the compliments everyone. No problem with the durability, no blemishes or paint runs on any of the parts. Overall a very nice job. Tony event sent me a new glove box hinge, and a set of Porsche valve stem covers.

 

Manny,

I do recall having a problem with the lighter...unfortunately, I can’t quite remember exactly how I removed it. But, if my memory serves me correctly, once the black retainer clip was removed, the lighter insert can be pulled from the front of the horseshoe. In addition to the retaining clip, there are two additional prongs that need to be depressed before it will slide out. I had to fool with it a bit, but it eventually came out. Then it just snapped back into place on the new horseshoe.

Sorry I can't be more exact. I'll try to search for something on Rennlist or 6speed and post it.

 

i also remember it as being pretty pull and plug.

 

I am considering doing the same job, but is it hard to remove the horseshoe?
Ant has anybod pictures of the sidewents painted? And how do you remove it?
