so, you are saying, that customizing the interior of your car, or changing the wheels is stupid b/c it doesnt add performance to the car? Sh*t, we might as well not paint our cars either, b/c that adds weight too. We should take out our floormats also, and maybe the cupholders as well...
That is by far the most idiotic comment I have ever heard today. First of all, many people who drive on the street with 19s do it b/c they look nice, and when they are driving strictly for performance (on the track), they would use the bootiest 18" wheel on the market if it yeilded the highest performance result on the track. Since the street is not the track, and you should not be testing your car to the limit on the street, trying to shave 3/10s of a second off your 30 min drive home from work, then there is nothing wrong with having a 19" wheel for street use. Just like you drive w/ street tires, and not hoosiers when you drive on the street. Just like driving with racing seats, a helmet, and 5 point harnesses is gay if you are on the freeway.
as far as trim in the car goes, some people like the look of carbon fiber inside their car (for the 3rd F-ing time). THEY ARE NOT PUTTING IT THERE TO GAIN PERFORMANCE... THEY LIKE THE WAY IT LOOKS. JUST LIKE A GIRL WITH FAKE **** DOES NOT BREAST FEED BETTER THAN A GIRL WITH REG. ****, BUT FAKE ONES LOOK BETTER TO SOME PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At any rate the rear center console is the most significant interior piece that you can do in CF imo. It's a must w/the CF shift **** and ebrake. That's the only carbon look I have in my car...Other than the "REAL" carbon fibre composite wing i have...

But I'm a bigger one...
I had my armrest and the small piece behind it covered in carbon to match the console...
And there is no difference taking the stock pieces, stripping the leather and putting carbon on them... It is the same process that is used for the OEM carbon. Just not sure it would be any cheaper than just buying them... As Lou was initialing asking before this thread got off topic...
I'm still waiting for the post... "Spend your money on driving school not carbon"

IMO: problem is that it's such a beautiful thing to begin with....where does the "trim" end and the "Gaud" begin.
We've had a few late turbo's here with a "trim" package of (believeit!) STICK ON fake aluminum for the interior.
HOLY **** BATMAN-does it look f***ked UP!
it made me puke....Mark
