Here at TMI, we are developing a couple new things. ( Including a brand new Sn-95 seat) That I've sat in and LOVE, but we are always looking for new things.

So, here's my question, in your interiors what are some things you see in your car that you say " If this had this sort of flair, or this was made differently I would love to change it, but there are no real GOOD options"

Let me know what you think!

steering wheels!!!
There are no aftermarket wheels currently offered. For a while the 2 tone Gt500 wheels were offered but they have been discontinued. Any that are left are an arm and leg.
A lot of our wheels are getting very worn and lots of guys have lowered ourselves to using wheel covers.

There are always options even if vendors dont sell them...its called hotroding and it would be nice to see more people go this route rather than the cookie cutter aftermarket route. No offense ..just the way I think.

I wouldn't say that the "aftermarket route" on cars is cookie cutter. That's like saying buying a set of True Forged wheels is cookie cutter haha

At this point in time there on there way. Just about every new edge out there is rockin a set of ccws and the affect has started to hit the sn crowd. Its bound to happen with some parts like wheels and a few other things as producing a wheel isnt something an enthusiast can do in his garage.

Here is what I wish my car had........The tenth annivarsary steering wheel and the 10th annivarsary Cobra seats (with the adjustable side bolsters) with the red inserts. All for less than 500 for the wheel and 1000 for the seats.

We are going to be having a product production meeting here, because I just brought it up with my GM. So I will keep you guys posted, on what you want.

Ditto to the steering wheel and more aftermarket seating choices that fit larger people.

We are developing a seat that our R&D manager sat in who is a larger guy, that fit PERFECT. ( He's about 6'7" and built like a brick wall)

I had my stock wheel recovered last year and padded at the same time and could not be happier with how it came out.

I have been considering getting the rear arm-rest portion of my door panel recovered with something nicer possibly to match the wheels and seats I had installed(napa leather).

If there was a way that the stock steering wheel leather/vinyl could be removed and replaced with something by stitching it back on, that'd be awesome. I don't even need the whole steering wheel. I like the current steering wheel wraps by Redlinegoods pretty good, but I want something a bit less bulky and that matches the texture of the rest of steering wheel.

yup thats mine! Its actually alot better match of black in person. The napa black has a smooth finish, with a very fine texture and it caught the flash more then you would think leather would. Its not nearly as grey as it looks in the picture its just my lack of camera skills.....

I had mine padded in the pic. With out the padding it would be much thinner and almost like stock only with much better materials.

Would it be possible to get some more shots of that then? If you could get it with the flash turned off, that would be awesome. I'm really interested in one of these, but I need more pictures.

Been dying to get it out of the garage and update the pics, use my new hero3 camera and just drive the thing but I my interior project has taken up 10x more time then I thought it would. Been in the same spot since oct now and between waiting on parts, getting sick a couple times, cold weather, its just drawn out... I am going to get in it this weekend though with the warm weather comming and hoping to get alot more done one it. Just been too cold in the garage for a while now.
