Default Poll! Help me out here! What to do with my $$

What should I get?

Ok, here's what I can get by the end of the month. Only ONE. I need your opinion and votes. Thanks.

1) - $1,000 +
NRG Carbon Fiber Bucket Seats
NRG 4 point Seat Belt Harnesses/cam lock in black
2 seat brackets




2) - About $400+ for the hatch plus glass install... Probably around $800+ total I am guessing.
Carbon fiber hatch


Now note that I'm going for the black/white look, so any opinions would help.

I also have a CF hood and mirrors on the car right now.

i would say the seats and stuff only because the hatch's i have seen have fitment problems. some people don't have the fitment problem. But if you have the $$$ do it...

Is anything else on the interior CF yet? If not, I'd go hatch to complete the black top / white bottom look. Just make sure the hatch handle is included in CF or pick one up, it looks wierd using the OEM on it. Racing seats in a vehicle is just not my style unless the interior is gutted with a cage and used for racing. I'd go with leather or custom fabric on the interior, that way the front and rear seats match and it's comfortable. The racing seats I've seen sit a lot higher than stock. If you want to do the interior on the cheap, wet okole makes custom fitted neoprene seat covers in two tone that look amazing, and can be removed and washed if any soda bombs go off.

www.wetokole.com Sorry I only have pics for the xB but they do carry front and rear. No white, are you using other accent colors?

Interior only thing CF is my shift ****. Seats are the RS alcantara, not too fond of keeping them in the car really right now. So I don't know. I am gonna keep them though in case I sell the car later. =P

i voted for hatch, get the VIS hatch its 5xx and i dont see the glass swap and install to be more then 100 150 tops and drill the holes for the interior panel yourself.400 to install the hatch is just damn rediculous. plus it will go well wiht your car. i just got the hatch and i love it.
