im sure they are fakes, for the little bit I drive the car in a year they will serve me fine. I got other areas of the car I want to spend money on, just got tired of seeing the worn out factory seats.

Yeah, before I saw your new seats I was gonna say the only thing you needed was new seats or seat covers.

You need some nice baller seats to get more people to look inside to see that the steering wheel is on the wrong side...

I when as far as buying an entire black interior, and then decided selling the black interior to keep the blue. My blue interior was taken good care of though, almost mint.

The answer is to put flocking on everything that's hard plastic (dash, hard parts on the door panels, all the trim molding pieces... it'll make the interior look completely sueded out.

Sample in a subaru:

After looking at that picture, why not just put a subaru dash in an FC? It just looks like an updated version anyway.

i tried some sparco seats but end up returning them since they were to big and the reclining function wouldnt work since the seat hit the inside of the roof, plus the side bolsters hit behind the door panel. so i decide to get my seats redone, plus more comfortable then the sparco seats.
