you seem to only take offense to my posts.

your taste in mods is clear and it is not mine.

if that is bothering you, oh well.

Sorry to say that it's all suede...alcantera wasn't readily available when I did this interior. Lux Motorwerks did the job but I'm sure you can find a vender in your state.

No offense taken at all nor does our differences bother me...I never gave a harsh response to when you said you didn't like it...it doesn't matter to me.

I thought I was asking a legitimate question/making a point...IF you don't like the aftermarket in general then what's the sense in being on the forums since most of it has to do with the aftermarket? Unless I’m misunderstanding what you said?

But thanks for taking the time to reply

You know what you wanted to accomplish, I know what type of work it takes to think, plan, complete and PAY for the work you have done to your car, and that no matter what it looks like tells me what type of person you are.
While it is not my style or something that would have been natural for me to create, I certainly like it and would definitely be proud to drive your car.

A lot of the people on here have 97s with 175k miles with wagon wheels and are ripping on your car. Their mods are hood seal and getting rid of the run flats ; ) Again, I can't believe there was not even any positive comment on your dvd/nav system, relocating the power charger, and removing the entire interior to do this, and then we see the exterior has the same level of work and I am seeing a supercharger to back a Z06...very nice Sir!
Well said.

LOL. This is all kind of funny.

The car is a very sweet ride! I liked driving it around when I had the opertunity. The interior is really not bright at all in person. Those pictures of the interior look so much brighter than it actually is. It is by far more subtle than it appears in the pictures.

It's all a matter of personal taste. Much like art work... you have those who will hate it, those who will love it, and those who have no idea what they are looking at...

i think the crome looks good as well as the out side. if everyone thought the same everyone would drive identical cars with identical mods.

everyone being different is what makes it fun.. keep up the good work

Not my taste but it looks like a lot of hard work and time was put in to make a unique car and you suceeded. I would check it out if I saw it at a show. Looks like quality work.
