The Sepangs aren't too bad to clean once you get the hang of it... but you can't let them go. Gotta wipe them down regularly. I think they're really classy.

Wow, I love the Recaros. They're such an upgrade from the stock seats in my 97. I guess to each their own.

As for the headrests, I don't think I've ever owned a vehicle (and I've owned plenty) that actually has functional headrests that you would rest your head on. lol

This is my idea of a headrest:



...with heated, massaging cushions

I love my Detroit wheels. I'd always wanted a jag with those. That's what I love about this car - the blend of classy with the hints of aggressiveness.

Yeah, that does look nice. Too nice. I'd probably fall asleep at the wheel.

Your wheels look absolutely great. I wish my 99 XK8 had those wheels.

I recently had to have 3 Lexus 18" wheels refinished and bad scratches removed after a minor accident. I made an appointment at my dealership. The technician used a heavy silver paint mixed with a black metallac and then clearcoated--called hypercoat. The artistry was in matching the color with the 4th wheel. The price was $75 per wheel--what the wheel company charges the dealer.

It took 3 hours (1 hour per wheel), including grinding out the scratches.
