Well I've sat in plenty of FDs with tan leather, but I'll never pass up the opportunity to sit in an FD lol.
As for the interior, I don't know how durable the color would be if you had it sprayed or covered in suede. I know some panels in my FD were covered in suede when I got it, and it had faded to yellow. I'm sure it looked great when it was new and black, but after I don't know how long of sitting in the sun, it was pretty horrible looking IMO.

I was told that when you repaint in vinyl, it actually is quite durable.

Jay the JDM recaros are not leather. They are cloth. The fabric is pretty fragile but they are supposed to be the most comfortable seats you can buy for an FD.

These are actually a pic of my seats that I bought from the boutique.

Well, I don't know about today's market, but when I completely redid the interior of my FD 2 years ago, interior parts for the car were practically worth their weight in gold. Getting black door panels, bins, rear plastics, headliner, visors, rear divider, a-pillar plastics, carpet, floor mats, seats and seat belts will cost a fortune. You may want to consider only doing the seats or seat covers, and not redoing the entire interior.
A DD widebody drift car is your plan, eh? I'm not going to touch that one. I'll stick to trying to be helpful.

Natey... I was going to note the same thing on the exhaust. I had the PFS exhaust and its just like his.
Jay... While a number of guys on here said they were "holding their tongues", so to speak, with regard to you making this a widebody drifter, I'll chime in...
I think it would be a terrible waste of a very nice stock car. Drifting is one thing. If you like it, do it. But don't ruin another solid FD with a widebody conversion. Its your car, of course, but the widebody fad has happily faded to a very small number of people who are still watching Fast & Furious re-runs. I think its a pretty dead thing that most FD owners don't find to be a "good thing". Most people find the FD to be one of the most beautiful designs ever and there's no widebody kit that looks as good as the stock car.

while I agree with gordon on what he said, front and rear flares are a nice addition to the FD and I personally feel that they can help accent the already gorgeous styling of the car. The Burnout "widebody" kit is one of the best I've ever seen and plan on putting it on my car.

KKMpunkrock2011... I like rolled fenders and even the Pettit bolt on rear like Hayes has. I have discovered, however, that I am a "purist". I would only add any widebody kit to a pretty high mileage car with body issues. Its not the same thing exactly, but I don't like non-rotary swaps either. This is my issue and not someone else's, but I do try to evangelize on behalf of keeping these cars as they were intended...

Also Jay, I think you may have gotten the wrong impression of the recaros. Not only are they the most comfortable seats you can get in an FD, they are also very high performance. Its not either or, the recaros are both. They are also very special because they are asymetric to fit the FDs large tranny tunnel (HAHAHAHA, O GOD WHY).
