Default custom race styled interior

Well I dont race my car but I'm looking to upgrade my seats and interior to look more exotic. You know race style seats, race styled steering wheel Etc. Basically I want the interior to look more upscale. I know caravaggio has some pretty nice stuff but does anyone know of any other sellers, maybe not so pricey. And if anyone has gone this way maybe post some PICS.

I have some carravaggio seat covers you may be interested in that fit over stock seats. Pm me if interested.

What I did was smooth and paint my interior panels gloss black. Gauge bezels, redline leather package for trim, shift **** and e brake parts from mgw, blue led mod, HUD, black sport seats and double din nav unit

that really fixed up the interior.

I went with full fiberglass race seats with side mount brackets. I mated them up to my original track so I still had power. The seats for a pair were around $500 shipped from a fleabay seller and I have had no problems with them. I would like to do the steering wheel and other items but cant decide on what to do next. One of my favorite thing about these seats is that the seat itself only weighs 5 lbs.

The seats themselves might weigh ~5 lbs each, its the tracks/power that have the weight. I think a complete seat with power is ~45

someone may have more accurate #s
