How about getting red seat belts to match your brake calipers?

Can't get any safer than belts...I love mine!

What I did in order:
Window Tint-I think cars look better with tint
Thicker steering wheel from Dallas-HUGE difference from standard wheel. Thicker with notches and red stitching-2 week turnaround. Love the way it feels in my hands
Fister Mufflers-Sounds fantastic and inexpensive. Easy to swap them out in your driveway in an hour
New Black Chrome Dual tips-Makes the rear end look better
K & N Intake(May take off)-Sounds better but may have actually lost power
Aluminum Pedals-Looks much better than black plastic
Short Shifter kit-No brainer
Rear spoiler-Just think they all need one but just my opinion
Front Spoiler-Finishes up the front
LED lights all around-Really updates the car
Black Stone Guards-A little touch of old school

Next:
Ruger classic wheels-Fuchs look.
Coilovers to drop the 4 x 4 look

Little Green...I also did the black chrome tips, Fister mufflers & Fabspeed intake. You're right on the intake sound...doesn't feel like I lost any power-although I probably should dyno the car.

I am really interested in seeing your steering wheel with red stitching. Do you mind posting a pic?

Should be similar to this. Got mine from Dallas too. Much fatter than the wimpy stock wheel. The color in the picture doesn't look quiet right though. Too loud. The real red is more restrained.

Does that steering wheel come with yellow stitching? I would love to have an Alacantara steering wheel like the GT3 RS but last I checked they cost 1,000. Any deals out there?

Red tach looks awesome.

Dallas will do anything you want. I had him take my skinny stock carrera wheel and fatten it up, added thumb notches. Red stitching and red center stripe. Feels fantastic in your hand. The right thickness for me. Leather is way better than OE. I will grab a pic in a bit. I think it was roughly $700 of which I got back $250 when I returned my wheel. The best money you can spend on your car as your hands are on the wheel more than any place else in the car. Sounds stupid but it makes the biggest difference to the daily driving experience as it's so tactile

Sorry for the glare. Steering wheel is two years old now.
