i thought about doing something similar with the interior but using the panel on the top of the door with the red stitch and just carrying it all the way across the top and covering the door handle completely with the strap coming out from the inside and eliminating access to the door lock toggle.

also it's good to see you're animal friendly!
well...i didn't do the suspension by choice, but my drivers side KW snapped in half.

it took about a week to warranty, and when i called them and gave them all my serial numbers they told me that i do not have V3's but have clubsports, so they sent me a new strut.

i took all of my suspension apart, inspected it, cleaned it, got new top hats, and put everything together by hand. i plan on putting it in with in the next week, stock suspension with snow tires + all my arms and bushings is just a very weird feeling, its soft, but not + nvh.

interior is back in two weeks, expect more updates around that time. for now i have to get my front end resprayed and am making a new front splitter, this time using a different material thats much stronger than aluminum/carbon.

while obviously i'd like my car to be unique, i can't stop anyone from doing similar or the same mods to their cars (headlights, shaved, interior, etc etc)

so if you're serious about this i can probably help you out, i don't have a DYI but the pictures i post should explain enough of what you need to do, i'm sure @Overland Designs will offer it, but you'd have to contact him and inquire with him. i'm just the crazy one with the idea's who does the fab work, he makes it look good

unresonated sounds great, however now that i'm planning on going with header and etc i really wish i went resonated, which is why my unresonated mid pipe is up for trade...

its not loud by any means, i just don't want rasp when i lose one cat..
