Your interior is screaming for an aftermarket shift knob now, though.

Yes, I am thinking a new shifter as well...I was looking into Brabus, but I want to feel it (oh baby) so I'm hoping one of the 10 people at the meet will have one...if not, I was going to talk to you about it (since you've had more than anyone I suspect).

Last mods I am going to do:
1. Lorinser Spoiler installed
2. Some sort of shifter
3. Black rims
For #3 I'm thinking the same Moven's but black instead of silver. Anyone feel free to chime in, I'm looking at $1,000 give or take for that last mod...is it worth it?
Then down the line, if it is hackable to watch movies while driving...Pioneer AVIC-Z1

Original C7 knob - to Davidta
Renntech knob - to columbus
Momo Performance - currently, somewhere in apt.
Momo Competitzione - to nukblazi
Sparco Racing - guy from crx forums
Momo Corsa - currently on car
I certainly hope that there's not anyone dumb enough to beat that list.

Wow! I haven't been on this site in a while and I'm glad to know that a lot has progressed as far as performance mods for the M271. Maybe it's a bad thing because now I'm motivated to go for that pulley, header and exhaust combo from Kleemann. Wwwwwhhhhhhyyyyy??????

First, this one is for tommy:
Guess what mod is still sitting in my garage with the original plastic cover?
Haha.
I had the spoiler installed (finally). For those that remember this is the Lorinser prototype that I hunted down over 2 years ago, had stolen by the body shop, hunted down another one, and now it's on my car. Over 2 years and $2,000 later, It's on.

For those that are wondering, I have one more wing that is still sealed...this is the last one that I know of. If anyone is interested, it's $750 shipped. I have one person interested now, but if that doesn't go through I plan to put it up on ebay sometime next week.
