Thank you sir! You know, I dont really know. I purchased the wheel from a private classified thread, and the seller said the company was named Trek in Pasadena and they specialize in interior fabrication/fabrics/stitching. I however could not find anything on them online. Only thing that comes up is trek CF bicycles lol

Nice build. That color is amazing. I find it funny how you STi guys love our (EvoX) seats. Debating replacing my seats with bride seats to cut the weight down. Got offerd like $1000 for my cloth, heated seats.

Thanks dude! It has little to do with love for the Evo or Mitsubishi brand, but more so with the quality, comfort, and functionality of Recaro seats

. Also 90% of the Evo seat components get ripped out, hacked up and thrown away to fit inside an sti. The only real parts we keep are the sliders after hacking all the tabs off, and the seat itself. There has only been one person that could get the airbags and heaters wired up but it was a major pain.

Yeah. . . Exhaust is important, no doubt. I like how my Legacy's stock exhaust is silent @ cruise, then emits nice tone when flooring it.
I spend time washing/detailing the muffler tip whenver I wash the car, too haha - - - -

jeez. did more to your car in 3k miles than i have in 30k on my lil' WRX

i've been thinking of the evo seat swap, but i think i'm going to go for a driver-side only bucket seat. i'm just more comfy in them.

My favorite mod is that steering wheel, looks great!

Thank you! It makes a dramatic difference in driving experience. It's smaller and thicker than the oem wheel. Feels great.
