Trim looks good. Can't wait to see this with the seats installed.

Lolz brown, cold day in hell I suppose.
I kind of gave up on evo seats as most of what I kept seeing were 8 seats in crappy condition. This way I'll know they're in good condition since they're new, probably about similar to some decent 8 seats price wise. And I think these are supposidely a bit lighter too. So I think this was a good choice for me.

Also rosey, that's black dip, not gunmetal. Camera kinda makes it look gunmetal but it is standard flat black dip.

Nice on the seat upgrade, do love a good race seat that's still comfy.
If you're looking for cheaper weight savings, a small lithium battery is a good place to save about 30lbs in the $200 range. Mine always worked well in the Lotus, thinking about doing the same on the Noble.

I already run a smaller lawn mower battery. I wonder what it weighs. Do you have a link to the one you're talking about?

Ah, most of those mini batteries are in the 15lb range.
I was happy with my Shorai, http://shoraipower.com, many are in the 3-4lb range.

Damn that's light, will have to check it out. How long do they last? In my Talon I had used a lawn mower battery, usually had to replace it every year. Decided to go to what I thought was a more legit batter setup with an Odyssey. That battery lasted me a year too and was way more expensive. So decided to just go lawn mower again on this car and get a new one every year for $25.
If these are that light though, and last at least a few seasons, I'll have to consider it, thanks!

I have a small Deka brand battery, you might find some info in my thread, but it was $52 shipped to my place and I've drained it and recharged it plenty just fine.
