Okay, I've taken the pictures, but I need help in posting them. It looks the file size of each picture is to large. I read somewhere about posting them somewhere else on the internet, then posting back to 6speedonline.

Brando, can you explain how you posted your pictures?

Thanks,

Can you do a "save as" and bump the quality level down (thus the file size) of the jpeg?

Here's are a few exterior pictures. One showing the GT2 front bumper that I just put on a few weeks ago. Another one with the TA Side Skirts

Looks good, but the seats look a bit strange?! I would still prefer leather than neoprene

I think you were just testing to see if you like the seats in black? I think beige is better for the seats. The rest of the black accents look good, but what is the break at the sides where the lighter and wiper adjust are? Wouldn't that be better in black or cf? Nice exterior!

That looks great! I like the ashtray delete option as well, but it is a little overpriced for my wallet. You also didn' t mention the black side vents. Is that a strip of wood horizontally throught the front of the dash?

fourempties is correct, I just put the black covers on the seats to see how black seats would look with the savannah beige interior. After putting the covers on the seats, I like the black look of the seats but, the neoprene makes it hard to slide in and out of the seats. Need to start looking for a good deal black leather electric seats, or think about reupholstering my seats to black.

I think if you went with a two tone seat would look a lot better then just all black seats.

fourempties,

The pieces you are talking about right below the horseshoe are smooth plastic pieces that I just haven't got around to putting the CF fiber on yet. Also, planning to do the oval plastic piece that goes around the hazard light switch. When fore bore on putting the CF material on the other pieces, then loss some momentum.

Thanks for your comment on the exterior. Still looking to put on some new wheels and have been contemplating a long time on what type of wing to put on the back. Thinking about the ERS Wing or the Ducktail wing from MASHAW which are very subtle wings. GT2 wing seems a little large to me, and stands out to much in my mind.

Also, funny you should mention the next mod should be the 3 spoke steering wheel, as I got a PM from a member who has one in Savannah Beige to sell with the airbag.

HxCforlife,

I really like the look of the black shifter, handbrake and steering wheel. Now you got me thinking about doing the same.

You might try going with the black floormats also. It seems to make a different in bringing out more of the black in the interior. As well, as hides the dirt better.

I will also consider your suggestion regarding two tone seats. Maybe I can use photoshop to see what two tone seats would like like in my car with the rest of the interior.
