Finally done - for now . . .

It's been 2 yrs since I convinced myself that I would get this as a daily driver and not let it become a new hobby. I'm getting to the point that I have to do the engine swap (or perhaps start a new project car). At any rate, I finally figured out how to post pics (poor photography notwithstanding).

Mods so far

Performance
Dansk headers
EVO cold-air intake
Powerchip engine remapping
B&M short shifter
ROW 030 suspension

Interior
Black leather and Alcantara w/contrasting red stitching throughout
Silver steering wheel crest
Yellow Gemballa gauge faces
Red seat belts
Rennline pedals and floorboards
GT3 console delete

Exterior
Litronic headlights
Clear taillights, markers, and 3rd brake lights
5/15mm spacers
GTS front bumper (w/euro splitter) and side skirts
Black mesh grill inserts on front and side intakes
Silver hood crest
CCW C10 wheels in Competition Gray (18x8.5 and 18x10)
Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s (245x18/40 and 275x18/35)

Coming soon:
3.6 liter X51 engine (early 2009?)
Carbon fiber interior trim (?)

Very nice! Why did you go with yellow face gauges when you have red stitching all over and red calipers? Still looks very sharp.

I have a friend with red gauge faces and it's hard to see the orange needle against the red background. I don't know if anyone sells different color needles and the yellow contrasts well.

The red stitching started with the OEM Alcantara wheel and shifter. Once I had those, I simply couldn't bear looking at all the regular stitching everywhere else - so the entire interior had to be redone (I had to justify it somehow, right?)

Love those foot rest and foot pedals. Where can I get some of those?

I love that interior. I have a similar theme on mine. Its Blk with the factory deviated red stitching and red seat belts. I have been thinking about having the centers of my sport seats recovered in alcantara as well as the steering wheel, dash and shift knob and boot. Could you put more detailed pix of the interior and if its not too much to ask where and how much you spent. Again very nice job on the whole pkg.
