I'm not too sure about the best mod, but it's definitely worth digging into the wallet for.
Hopefully it all ends up looking pretty good.

Yeah i ordered them through those guys, but it's never the simple $599 it says on ebay.
All of mine set me back $1,000.

I recommend getting perforated centers, makes it look much nicer.
I'm not a big fan of most of the colors, but for an ivory color they looked nice.

next thing i need to research is what i'm going to do with the engine.

I don't want to turbo or supercharge the EF engine, it's done nearly 200,000 now and i'd really like to get my hands on a BA XR6T engine, and get that dropped in, and work it up to 290rwkw +

But depending on how much it'd set me back and how long it'd take, i'll have to put a good amount of research into it.

Obviously, labor would be a s**t load, so hopefully I can find someone interested in doing it for me at a reasonable and affordable rate.
If anyone knows anyone that's done this conversion before and would be willing to help out send them my way!

Also, i'd have upgrade a lot of things like gearbox, brakes, all that jazz.

But that's the plan for the next year or two.
Better start saving.

I hope you realize that your covers are not actually leather, but in fact vinyl. Not saying that they don't look good , but don't want you thinking you have paid for one thing and gotten another.

Yeah i know it's not true leather, which for me would of been such a waste of money.
a) more expensive
b) it cracks
c) it needs to be conditioned and cleaned, which i know i wouldn't do that often.

Plus I'm not sure if i'll be keeping my car for a while or selling it over the next 2 years, so I didn't want to go all out of a full $3-4k interior.

yeah i would indeed!
it's comfy enough inside, don't see the point in spending so much on "real" leather when you can get something that looks similar and is a lot less to buy.

obviously i'd only spend the money on an engine conversion if i'm keeping the car for a good while.

yeah it's a tough choice with a white car! you could try black.
i guess you'd have to decide what suits.
