Yeah supra seats fit right in. All u have to do is cut 2 wires if you get the powered supra seats, if not then its a 20 min job.

your wheels are nice (<3 arthur exchange), but you could sell them and add your powdercoating money to get something more aggressive. but thats what i would do anyway.

Default a few questions

did that steering wheel come off an IS and were you able to hook up the airbag? If you dont mind how much does something like that run.

Also who's doing your CF work for the trim pieces?

Its looking awesome man!

I really love these wheels and the only other wheels I would even consider would be a set of VS-XX's. Those run ~2500 for wheels only, and considering I got these wheels for $1600 shipped with BRAND NEW bridgestones all around, i couldnt pass them up. Powdercoating these wheels are going to run me ~$300 done right and a set of spacers ~ $100. I live in LA and there are potholes all over the place and If i get some more aggressive wheels, im gonna either 1 bend em or 2 run into all the rubbing issues that I thank god i just got over. the fitment on these are much better than they appear in that one pic. It was perfect before I rolled the fenders and pulled them slightly. Like I said, its nothing a spacer cant fix.

Im also focusing my attention now towards the performance aspect of the car. I have 2 cars at my house that run mid 130's trap consistantly and I am aiming to do the same with this car. Hopefully in the next week I will have all my parts ready to drop in...

Yeah steering wheel came off an IS and was cake to install. Just had to use the original wiring harness and cruise switch to get the cruise to work. I got pretty lucky and got both the wheel and airbag from the same guy for $210 shipped.

As far as the carbon fiber goes, I cant say where I'm getting them done cause last time i opened my mouth, I ended up getting an infraction and was warned. Once I get them done ill show some pics and ill let people know privately where I got them from....
