The seats are Recaros out of a 2004 Mitsu Lancer Evo and reupholstered by a local shop.
The flares are 1" from Vettenuts, a vendor here.

Sometimes the best pics are unplanned. Last summer, I was racing home at dusk from a cruise event, top down in my 2004 vert as the Florida skies were threatening with a heavy thunderstorm. When I opened my garage door, my son had his musical equipment stacked in the garage where I park my C5 so I had to run in and move it out of the way before I could pull into the garage. When I went back to the car, I stopped and took this photo just before the clouds opened up.

I didn't take it, cause I was driving, but a buddy of mine took this on a rally to Knoxville last year. Probably the best pic of the car.
