I do not have red interior highlights. The BRZ does.

Well, certainly seems worth the effort... If you want red inside the car, why not buy those checkered floor mats? They come in red... Good value for money as you get to see more red...

BTW, what's with the giant mouse?

Probably because these are OEM. I am also a sucker for OEM parts.

Not in one day but able to do 65k maintenance new clutch,TOB, verus fork and pivot, changed trans fluid and diff to motul in the car port at our apartment complex. Then did the plugs and it was a pita doing the driver's side! Learned a lot and this forum members, diy and videos helped tremendously!

Interior footwell lighting is a pretty good bang for the buck too, I dont have them, but I know they're a factory option. It's a pretty drastic difference, somewhat affordable. Considering Tom's steering wheels are north of 500, just for a little red. I'll get interior lighting eventually, when I've done everything else I want to do

I spent less than $50 on the footwell lighting - just a kit from Amazon.

Also, the carbon fiber/leather/perforated leather steering wheel from East End Raceshop was $310 shipped.
