Hiro, I'm a design engineer by day and also have my own shop (www.euroboutique.us)
I also like to play in the financial world as I have a few connections there and also dab around with real estate
I'm looking for Bride Stradio seats but I want to sit in andy's car one more time to check if leg room is gained or lost.

Well my rio s2k has been pretty much done for the most part and I think it's perfect in everyway but..............
Now I have this itch to do something else more dramatic to the car. Trying to located some nice Comptech sideskirts for it to start but I feel the car needs something more.
My dilemma is to either go to Comptech high boost / EMS for more power or thinking I want to replicate the Gallardo SE paint scheme with a black roof, mirrors and trunk area. Except on my s2k, I want to go CF for the accent pieces...keeping my stock hood though.
here's my idea:
1) Craftsquare black 1x1 weave CF mirrors from Tommy
2) Asuka 1x1 weave CF trunklid from Tommy
3) GP Sports black CF rearview mirror
4) Mugen CF hardtop to finish it off
Just feeling things out right now since I'm kinda bored with the car's plain look. Will decide this week.
Also still tryin to find a pair of Bride Stradia seats eventually

S2X had a CF HT he was going to sell, but decided to keep it. You may still be able to convince him for the right price. I would recommend going through Ben @ Bulletproof or Tommy as both are excellent sources for this part new. For the HT to look right on your car though, I would recommend swapping the OE hood for something a bit more aggressive. Finding this part without waiting an interminable amount of time will be your biggest challenge. The steep price may work to your advantage as the FRP HTs are selling like hot cakes.
