Scott,

Just a suggestion on the work you are having done by Jon - go with alcantara. I just had the hockey sticks, center armrest, door armrests, shift boot, e-brake boot. etc. done by Jon yesterday on my 01' Coupe. All of the pieces were done in dark gray alcantara with the exception of the door armrests which were done in dark gray leather (my interior is two-tone black/dark gray). Needless to say, I am regretting that I didn't go all alcantara - that stuff is amazing, and looks so much better than leather. Jon took several pics and could probably show them to you. Great work Jon!

Not sure what you mean about dash lighting - this may be specific to your car. As far as the HK system is concerned, I agree it's not great. I pulled the Business CD player (if anyone wants it to buy it for a VERY aggresive price let me know) and installed a Sony ES head unit. Just the head unit makes a noticeable difference. I have also purchased Dynamat which I will install when I add the CD changer. Per Ron Stygar, this makes an improvement as well.
