Default Should I get a cf hood or racing seats for my Sol?
I'm gonna have some money after tax return..so i'm just wondering if you guys think i should spend it on a carbon fiber hood or spend it on a pair of red racing seats? I just got me some gunpowder w/polish lip rims so i think carbon fiber hood would look good.........
Please give me some opinions......

This is how my car look rite now.....

cf hood vs. racing seats... significant price difference there if you're getting decent racing seats. that's like 300 vs. 900

CF Hood if you care about looks, seats if you "drive" your car.

cf hood will make your car look stupid, seats are only necessary for "spirited driving"

neither if all your going to be doing is driving on the street. "Take It To The Track" and keep the idiot driving off the street.

Plus I dont think you'll shift in your seats much if your only going to go in a straight line but hey, its really all up to what you want more and which one you think will LOOK better.

hood, or black recaro srd seats. Don't get red racing seats, there would be too much red going on.

Rims and tires (decent ones) will run you between 700 and 800 dollars. That's where your tax return should go.

I'd go for the CF hood. The Del Sol seats are already pretty good as is right? That way you get to keep your new rims too.
