So hard to find the right lighting. All three pieces actually do match, is what I'm saying.
No more vinyl.
And here's focus on the parking brake boot. I think the seam could have been more neatly designed so it doesn't bunch up, and the front should be a little longer. But overall, it's not bad.

Go for it. You know you're itching to find a way to mod the car under $200.

My black interior eh? lol.
I think I already have all my upgrade money planned out for the year. New tires, aluminum engine undertray, motordyne plenum, uprev tune. It adds up lol.
I have a nice chunk of leather and an untouched steering wheel sitting in front of me just staring at me. I need to finally get off my butt and make the custom wheel I've been drawing up.

I’m sure the slight imperfections bother you, but it’s not something anyone would notice unless you pointed it out.
I like it

Three weeks ago, I put the Vossens and Continentals back on the car, and the weather went cold immediately thereafter. So it's been three weeks since I could drive it. Until today, when I just took the G out for half a dozen errands in about a 10 mile radius. All familiar roads, with a keen eye out for potholes.
Really, really appreciate having wide, high-performance rubber on the car. It's a game changer every Springtime. However, after a few hours of barnstorming around like an idiot, I just wanted to relax and cruise. Except the car isn't much of an around-the-town cruiser anymore. Highway, sure, that's fine. But around town... after a while, I get exhausted.

Still loving the short gears. Matched with summer rear tires, hook up is so much fun out of the hole.

On my last (first) OCI for the wife's Subaru, the oil came out so fast, with a thick stream, it splashed all over my old drain pan, on to the floor, on to me. It was like watching an elephant go p1ss.
I use that same pan on all the oil changes. So I thought I'd try a different design. So let's see how this open model works. I also bought an oil splash pad that I fitted into the bottom. That might have been overkill but maybe not.
