Seems like all your posts are like this. Lacking technical substance.

You already got answers in this thread.

Designing your car for women is a bad idea. You need to make your car so that you're happy with it. Browse the appearance forum. Plenty of interior and exterior threads in there.

^ but in another aspect...if he spends most of his time chasing women, and has fun with it, designing a car with the ladies in mind while still keeping some personal taste in it, it might be worthwhile? Depends on the kind of girls you're looking for too, I would hunt a girl that is into clean hondas and doesnt like body kits and neons

There are easy modifications for the DIYer that you can do to your interior. Look up DIY writeups on changing your door panel fabric, your headliner material, your cluster and climate control lights and clean your carpet and whatnot. Girls don't like pee stains and dog hair in cars. There's people that have put skulls and comic book strip fabric on there panels and headliner, and it honestly didn't look bad. Not my taste but ehh...w.e.

I'd say work on the body work first if your interior isn't hideous. A girl isn't going to want to ride in a car with all kinds of touchscreen goodies and lights inside with cheap knockoff recaros if your clearcoat is peeling and your fenders are caved in.

This thread would be better placed in the appearance section though :\ Good luck. If you are interested in the DIY fabric interior replacement and stuff PM me and I can get you the links tonight.

Personally I think you should try to attract girls based on your character. A girl who really loves you won't give a damn what kind of car you drive.

^ lol I saw a guy in GD whose wife/gf gave him a valentines day card in the shape of a heart with a honda logo in the middle that said something like...because you probably love your car more than you love me. THAT'S a real woman.

Come to think of it this is turning into a GDD thread. Post this in appearance and you'll get better results.

Keep it simple and do carbon fiber trim.

If you're even slightly crafty you can do a real carbon fiber overlay of the parts you want...no turning back once you do it though so test on some spare parts.

I'm doing an armrest delete this week actually. We'll see how this one turns out.
