Smarty, I haven't seen the seats with that version of two-tone colors. It appears to be a after market steering wheel wrap also?

Rotex Super Charger or... plus what Mods???

Upgrade the internals so you can handle 500hp and put an EFR turbo on it like Kelu and Friction Fighter. By the time they are done with their builds, they'll have all the bugs worked out and you should be able to follow their lead easily. (yes i know they are doing it to LNFs but in the end an NA is better because the fuel system limits are more easily overcome with the NA)

Hmmm... I have to agree, it appears, checking the origin at the plant, they were cloth ebony and standard steering wheel. So it's modded???

Yeah, the steering wheel is obvious, the seats, from the little I saw, looked like either really good reupholstery, or covers from another car.

Nice either way!

JPM does steering wheel coverings and when finished look like it came that way from the manufacture.

That is a great blue, and there are so many options available for the 2.4, give Dave a call at DDM or Dave at Werks.

How is that going to work with the air bag? Do they make alowances for it?

Jim

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #2312 on:** February 09, 2011, 04:22:04 PM »

he has a tool that makes a perferated edge where the airbag will rip the cover in half if it get's geployed. I told him to not to bother with the tool.

Critterman · « **Reply #2313 on:** February 09, 2011, 04:38:32 PM »

The alcatera on joe's steering wheel will rip with the airbag. The tool is just for leather. At least that's what I though he told me. I don't have a warm and fuzzy for alcatera.

I ordered Norm's Dual Exit Fascia for my 2009 Brazen Orange Street Edition. To be installed with a custom exhaust system.

This picture was sent to me by Norm. This is going to look great!!! Great Job!!! and THANKS Norm!!

DeepBlueGXP · « **Reply #2315 on:** February 09, 2011, 08:52:52 PM »

I actually drove mine tonight. Went south to meet up with Joe, so he could do a final test fit before he sent the lambo door rods out. We went into a sports bar to get something to eat. When we came out it was snowing. No big deal you say right?

But thiis is why I park my car in the winter, I run Sumitomo HTR-Z III's They are summer only, not recommended below 40 degrees and have absolute no sniples or what ever they are call to get a grip on snowy or icy roads, see picture and you will know what I ment

I may decide on a Hi flow Cat for the 08 GXP, provided no issues with PA emissions. Any reports on this?

Not sure about what to with the 2009 NA Coupe just yet.
