The next mod will be a big brake kit. Probably AP Racing. I want black my husband wants red. What do you guys think would be the best color?

We got an estimate on redoing/modding the interior and putting a light kit on. My husband just about passed out. The cost was around $10,000. Does this seem reasonable?

He was ready to do this last week. Now he is having second thoughts and wants to get prices from some other shops.

They are going to do some very unique and interesting mods to the interior that will make the car stand out from all others. The cost is 2 to 3 times what my husband thought it would be. Of course he has no idea what is a fair price.

If you plan on keeping your ZR forever...do it! If not....your ZR would be a hard sell & a huge loss.

Larry finally negotiated a fair price on the interior mods. Jeremy, rogue350z helped us a lot with his suggestions on the cost and negotiating with the interior shop. We really appreciate all of Jeremy's help. The work is scheduled to begin this month and be completed sometime in December.

We scheduled the work between cars shows and events we have already registered to attend. So the car will be in and out of the shop and partially completed at times so we can attend the events. There will not be an alligator top either.

Good call. I'd recommend California Condor or White Rhino skin.
