What a transformation. You really have put some money into this. Looks great. I like the silver trim around the shifter. Where did you get it?

All I can say is WOW Looks amazing, and you're coming across the state line when?

So what's going on with the fourth stalk? I don't remember you having that one.

Nice work Derek, congrats!

Thanks very much. I bought the silver trim from http://www.carnewal.com/
It was 51 Euro (35 + 16 shipping) or approximately $69 USD. He doesn't list it on the website, but if you shoot him an e-mail he will hook you up. It took 3 days to get it from Belgium. It has to be modified to be installed on a standard shifter boot. Post some pics if you get one.

Thanks a lot man. The 4th stalk is for the trip computer (I think it is called an OBC stalk or system). Luckily it was an option on my car. You can retrofit it on your car if you would like one.

I'm embarrassed to say I haven't removed my hardtop, or even driven the car in 6 weeks or so. I've been traveling for work some and just generally busy. Since working on it this week I'm excited about driving it, especially top down. Before removing the hardtop I want to polish it (and the rest of the car). Once I get it looking presentable we will have to get together.

Sounds like a plan! Can I bend your arm to do the OBC hack? Mine should have the capability being an '02?.

Can't wait to see the interior.

Good to have you back around.

That is the best changes that I have seen on a box interior, the CF looks fantastic, seriously that is one mod that really is better than stock.

I think the OBC system is definitely worth activating. If for nothing else, just to have the outside temperature display. Apparently it can be controlled with the 4th stalk, or another switch. There is a current thread in the "General Discussions" forum entitled "OBC Hack Help" with some good information. I'm sure there are many more threads detailing the hack. I've never done it, but will be glad to help.

Thanks very much!

Interior looks great. I stayed away from gray interiors when I was looking for mine because I thought they looked a little washed out. You have transformed it into a really nice looking package. I'm sure that CF wasn't cheap, but worth the money.

Another small thing that sets it off that no one has mentioned is the black floor mats. Goes along with the theme and is much easier to keep clean since the black hides any dirt.
