Thanks!
Yup it's the stock leather seats, covered in custom "Wet Okole" seat covers: Car Seat Covers | Seat Covers | Custom Seat Covers | Truck Seat Covers | Automotive Seat Covers

From outside the car they look like the RZ Recaro buckets, and since my surfboard rides shotgun...

They'll do a "custom logo" for you (including Bride), in fact they'v already got a few in the catalogue.
I actually gave em a pic of the RZ seats and said.."make em' look like that..." & they did.
Ha.

...there are def. worse ways to burn thru $2.5k

I'm curious to know the fitment. My Esprit tail light cover snaps on with no adhesive needed, but doesn't sit perfectly flush on the corners. The RE finisher seems to sit flush, but I'v heard it needs 3M to mount.

post some pics when you get her on!

Will do! Yeah I will admit the $$ stung a bit. If it isn't performace related aka fun factor it hurts more.

What brand is that bumper?! It may be the only aftermarket rear bumper that I think looks decent on an FD!

Vorschlag. I'm considering shaving the side crease on the side of this rear bumper, like in the photoshopped black pic below, though it does match the front bumper lip. (*in pic 3)

The corners of the kit come down farther and curve around the wheel wells more than most, and go straight down from the widest planes on the stock body- which is perfect for integrating the wider / larger 20" WORK S1-2P's I'll be using. The Eurou front lip has the same sharp corners at the bottom of the wheel wells so I think it'll be a clean transition.

The Eurou fenders will be modded into a pseudo +20mm Rocketbunny-esque style (*pic posted here: Wheel Fitment / Fender preview)

Been piecing together my Panspeed kit for the past few months now. Getting ready to order the side skirts and then finish it off with the hood. Can't wait to get this all put on.

Thanks haha. I bought the front fenders from Japanparts.com and I think I ended up paying just a little over a grand for them and having a 4 week waiting period. I've been jumping back and forth between RHDJapan and Japanparts as far as buying my kit because some items are cheaper on one site versus the other. I also had to request to have the bumper added to both of their websites and ended up purchasing it through RHDJapan.

Recently obtain MS carbon shift **** and ebrake handle.

Anyone have any advise on the install? The **** doesn't quite reach the top of the shift boot and it doesn't thread in to firmly.

And whats the best way to get the ebrake handle on? The box also came w/ a piece of some sort of fabric and an epoxy of sorts.

I heard it's very hard to install ebrake handle.
May have to chop your existing ebrake handle off in half to get it removed.
