I used WLED 5-LED Wide Angle LED and 74 Wedge Base LED bulbs from superbrightleds.com. One is 3 down from the top and the other is the 12th one down. You just pull the bulbs out of the bases and replace them with the LEDs.

Yup. Thats it.

Well, I called a few dealerships. A Q45 TB w/ TPS is $598. GT V6 Tiburon driver and passenger seats are $3000. And I also like the new Mazda3 seats. They are very comfortable and stylish. They are $1500 for both. So the Mazda3 seats are a definitely a possibility. But they are ungodly heavy because of the airbag system they put in it.

do you replaced the fabric on the doors or can you just paint that too?......also how much was a new carpet?and if your carpet is in good shape is there a way to dye that so its' black?

I actually found door panels with vinyl inserts on them instead of the cloth. And I just spray painted those. The carpet was about $264. I think they do have a dye for the carpet. Not sure how well it works tho.

Update - I've found the seats I want. Its final. Recaro Speed. All black with the red Recaro logo and red stitching. It's well worth the money.

thanks.....damn that carpet is expensive..considering i'm in school and can't work alot.

dcrusupra · 05-15-2006, 03:37 AM

Yea, but it was nice. It came with the hatch carpet also. On Thursday, Im going to put the rest of the interior back in and take some more pictures. I work too much. I hardly have time to work on the car. My schedule is work, Mon-Sat 8-5:30 and school on Mon and Wed nights. And baseball on Tues nights. Im a busy man. Lol.

Ok. So I drove a new C6 corvette today. All you have to do to start the car is have the alarm remote in ur pocket and press the button. And I like that. SO! Ive decided to completely get rid of the key and have the keypad starter kill and a push button start where my cig lighter is. So all i need to do is put in the code and hit the button. When I get the keypad starter kill installed next week I'll ask the guy if this is possible to do. It sounds like it is, and im hoping it is. But we'll see.
