the RS and 05 LSDs *supposedly* can't fit due to ABS issues, so i dunno.

i love the fact that you got all the meaningful functions i did(ABS excluded)for much cheaper,then were left with cash to convert comfort and power,and doing all this while having a great time working on your sweet ride,much respect

I really like the RS but I just couldn't wait until 04.

Exhaust shield. cf preferably or can paint white to blend in, or black to match door handles for that matter. The smaller more aerodynamic mirrors. Also u can take some of the crumby plastic parts from the inside and have them painted white/blue or whatever colorscheme u want to go with.Metal shifter, metal pedals, blue or silver metal instrument surround cluster,white guages, metal scuffplates. Mount guages on front left piller. Actually replace pillers with carbon fiber replicas. Oversized mirror from broadway. Then spray front wire mesh grilles white and heat vent. Or even go crome for the grilles. then pause and think how could u stuff 20 more grand into the car and then get to work.
