I'm less disturbed by the glovebox panel -- I mean, it's kind of a wtf-piece, but it isn't shiny, and it isn't in front of me. But the visor is super annoying, and the headliner is really cheap too. I'm going to rip through that thing with my key within the year
I'd be tempted to do the gauge pod cover, just to keep the outgassing off the glass, but that material doesn't bother me as much.

Where are you looking at getting the replacement parts?

Anything else I should be doing off the bat? After putting a thousand miles on it to feel it out, if I'm left wanting I plan
Lighter wheels/brakes is something I've been considering.
I'm not a racer, just want the car a few hundred pounds lighter, and wheels seems like the right place to start (and probably end, really, because I'm not going to be *that guy* with the carbon fiber panels all over the car). Driveshaft?
