Ok, I'll go:
  • Caravaggio Racing Seats (the new Porsche-type) - heated
  • Coilovers (don't know which ones yet)
  • Pfadt Sway Bars
  • Car PC
  • Real Carbon Fiber center-console
  • Momo Steering Wheel (or Caravaggio C6 wheel if I can find a way to make it fit)
  • MAYBE TS rearend to match my TS front (but only IF I do the MAXCC rear flares which I will IF they finish the design for their front flares in which case, I'll need new wheels also, in which case, I'll do C6 Z06 brakes...)
  • Ooops - forgot MCM Hood and Breathless rear brake ducts...
