Why do people mode the crap out of the exterior and not the interior?

A-) The exterior is cheaper to MOD (and easier to showoff :-D).

B-) The Interior is pretty classy all its own (as long as you manage to keep it clean)

C-) A few superbright leds and some A/V upgrades in the right place are all it really would need to make it even better :-D

P.S.: A PS2 housed in the front armrest, hooked to 3 displays (1 on the dash and 2 behind the front seats) would probably dwarf any external mod :-D

Same here. Would that fall under I.C.E.?

BTW, I think that having a PS2/XBOX/Gamecube would be rather blah. Lord knows that every car ever done on "PIMP MY RIDE" has one or two game consoles.........

Yeah, but "Pimp my ride" has NEVER thought of putting in a HUMIDOR before!

True, that is pretty cool Ramberg...

I would rather spend money on stuff that makes the car perform better in some way, be it interior or exterior. The only exception would be my AE shift ****. The steering wheel is kind of a wash, since my old one had the leather coming apart.

Alpine HU -- sounds better than bose
Centerline rims -- 17s lighter than stock 15s
ACT clutch -- grips better than OEM

etc, etc

I would like to get racing seats, but they are too much $$. Something like Sparcos with brackets would cost me 2/3 of what I paid for the car.

I thank you guys for the comments on my cigar humidor. I just installed a custom leather E-Brake boot and cut the shaft about two inches. Later Warren

That's where creativity and ingenuity come into play......:

I say get whichever seats suit your fancy and then make your own seat brackets. It may not look pretty, but as long as the seats are comfy then it will be all worthwhile.

If it costs more than $50 and doesn't make it faster or handle better its just making you feel good regardless of where you install it.

The only thing I don't like about my car looking bone stock is that no one will race me on the street, cuz I'm just an old guy with a 4 door sedan.

Feeling good is ok though, thats why God invented sex and why grass became so popular in the 60's.
