I think this should be the right section...
Well, it's not complete yet, but here's basically what it's going to look like.
Right now it's just yellow electrical tape, and photoshopped BBK. But you get the picture

1) I'll be ditching the overplayed red TA stripe on my Volk's, swapping my red Rays Extended lugs for black, and get the stripe either painted or taped yellow, as pictured below. (Anyone have any recommendations as to where I could get this done?

2) I'll be picking up an set of Akebono Big Brakes and powdercoating them the same yellow as the TA stripe

3) I'm trying to find a steering wheel similar to the OEM S15 wheel, that I can have wrapped in suede with yellow stitching. I don't wanna be DD'ing without an airbag

4) Lastly, i will be getting custom black Alacantara Porsche GT3 Replica seats made with Yellow stitching, along with Yellow seat belts!

i think it looks sick; however, i don't think you should powdercoat the akebono brakes. there's something weird about painting stock calipers. that's just my opinion, though.

Looks just like my buddies black Z. Black Te's with a yellow painted pinstripe. Except he has the AP racing bbk. he actually lives in the oc area also so you might have seen him rolling around.

Don't go overboard with painting stuff yellow. I think you can pull it off with the plan you have outlined up there.

I saw a dark red cougar yesterday with yellow door handles, a yellow shopping cart wing, yellow gas door, and yellow side mirrors. Dont be that guy. I almost became vulnerable all over the inside of my car. Im sure you have more taste than that guy, but this thread brought back that sick feeling in my stomach.

I think I've got 25% tint in the front, but I'm not 100% sure, I do have Limo in the back, though.

I'm definitely not going to go overboard with the yellow, just subtle things here and there (as outlined above) and probably black out the door handles.

Anyone know of a reputable place in SoCal to get the TA stripe done in yellow?..

I was looking at wheels as well, but I'm not so fond of the airbagless ones. I have seen some Momo wheels that come with an airbag, there is one that came as an option to the OEM S15 wheel that I'd like to have rewrapped and stitched.
Thanks for the suggestion though, that wheel is sick without a doubt!

Adam @ Z1 carries this steering wheel with airbag. Not suede but def. cool and the stitching could be changed easily I think.
