Those seat cover look pretty good. They're from leatherseats.com (or through ebay), right? Are the center sections of them leather as well, or is it a different material? I'm considering buying through them, but would prefer some sort of cloth in the middle, if I can convince them.

Search for posts on nitrous. It's something to be very careful with obviously.

And color...RED!

No experience with Nitrous, I'm part of the turbo crowd.

When you ask about color, do you not want red? If I were to repaint my vert, I'd go with red from SL63 AMG. In person it looks awesome. If you stay with stock red however, you don't have to worry about the engine bay.

There's a great writeup on nitrous in the archives. Look there and read.

Most say turbo for a reason. If you do a 50 shot, you'll have the power of a turbo, only you'll have to refill bottles frequently, and you have the risk of nitrous backfeed or blowing your engine because you didn't fuel it right, etc. OR for maybe a little bit more money you could turbo the car and have that power all the time and not bother refilling bottles, etc. Nitrous seems like a great novelty, I myself was once set on doing a 75 shot, but after looking at it more, it just doesn't makes sense when turbo parts are so readily available and ultimately offer much more expandability and power than nitrous ever could.

You don't need to use nitrous all the time though. See, with a turbo, you have low compression, so you either have a dog, or a monster. With NA and nitrous, you either have a car, or a monster. On the same page, you can save fuel with NA, then use nitrous when you want. With a turbo, I'm fueling up waay more often. They each have their drawbacks, but in the end it's all about what YOU want. I want a turbo convertible, so I have one.




Edit:
I vote for nitrous and black. Nitrous is cheap, easy to install, easy to hide, black looks best.

I'm cheap, so I once researched homemade nitrous kits. That was pretty cool, but you can get ebay kits for around $400 I think. ZEX, NOS, Venom, etc.

I ran a nitrous express fogger kit for years(50 shot) on an na and never had any problems. You could probably run a turbo2 fuel pump and push a 75 shot
