^^well, that seat is definitely not subtle.

It's gonna quickly become a PITA sliding in and out w/o a detachable steering wheel. I'll give you 3 months daily driving before you sell it...

^subtlety was thrown out the window when i chose a red seat for the black/grey stock interior. so it not being subtle isn't really an issue. i actually have no problems getting in and out of the seat either, so i see myself using it for much longer than 3 months.

domed sticker looked funny and out of place... brushed aluminum/metal decal would look better and in place with the CF

something like this...



LOL back to GE

Snow showers in the forecast for next week, so I put on the winter wheels. I went the cheap steel wheel route, I even skipped the hubcaps:



Unfortunately I'm having TPMS problems, but that's a discussion for another thread .

You know that seems like a plausible idea to me, but I if could find a smaller one than that one in the pic- I'll try it..what the heck...
I think 4'' might be to large for the wing...Thanx for the suggestion though.

I'll have to disagree on this makita. Have had my ZetaIII installed since purchase, so just about 10 months now (in 2 days) and even with the J's (WorksBell) quick release hub, I don't need to remove the wheel to get out and I have no problems getting into and out of the seat with the HIGH bolsters. Honestly I wouldn't have it any other way as the stock seats are piss poor when it comes to holding ability.

On Saturday went up to Seeker and ordered some new goodies for the interior. Maybe eye candy, but also functional. Won't be able to install till mid-December though as pieces are not on hand. Ryo at Seeker (ex Spoon guy) is a very cool cat.
