Comfort comes home-Project Lexus GSX

Well, after years of not having time to get to the track and thousands of hours of making a street/strip car, I've decided to forget about racing and make my car fun and streetable again. This project includes putting the following back in the car after taking it out at some point:

power steering
AC
heating system
comfy stock seats
Canadian seat belts replacing harnesses
cutting out part of the rollcage for rear seat access
a good sound system

So with no further worries about saving weight, the weight goes back in. Carbon fiber hood is gone replaced with stock, modified stock steel bumper is going back in to hold up front bumper cover properly. Also the whole underdash along with HVAC stuff is going back in. Along with that, since I'm keeping the 3.5" exhaust, the factory sound deadener is going back in along with a full coating of aftermarket sound deadener. Since I'm used to a little fancier ride these days, I thought it'd be fun to see how quiet and solid I can make the car feel while still making ~600whp. Here's a few teaser pics.
