After a quick clean-up, here are some gratuitous shots of the vaders, interior, and one more glamor pic (minus Sean's photoshopped babe!)...
The leather isn't in the best of shape (what do you want for $100?), and time and $$$ permitting, I will eventually have them recovered... However the seats are still quite comforatble and I truly enjoy how they help me fit in the car, as I'm 6'4". The vader-specific seat recline feature makes driving that much more enjoyable... __________________ James 95 active w/leather interior and sport interior conversion, Vaders, full M-Tech exterior conversion.

I love the vaders, but I hate all Ti dash's. I cant wait tell I do a swapout with my TI | | | | | 03-24-2008, 03:01 AM | #7 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 |
are you sure it's a base model?
it has the OBC...does it have cruise control?
leather steering wheel under that cover?
looks just like my car. mine is an Active.
hmmm

i ask all of this just out of curiosity...never mind me. lol | Yeah, I had Mallard run the vin#, mine is a kinda fully loaded base... Leather package inc. steering wheel, OBC, cruise, etc... but no cd, only cassette, no asc, no lsd, no central locking... The original seats were very plain leather, no support (think plain boxers, all over the place!). The car was completly bone stock when I got it... After these exterior mods, I will be mulling my options for engine mods. Just have to decide how involved I want to get.

DASC + Install is like 4 grand isn't it?
Can't you do a swap for about the same amount? | | | | | 03-24-2008, 03:39 AM | #13 | | Senior Member Join Date: Jul 2007 Location: SW Florida Posts: 4,275 |

That is the whole conundrum in a nutshell...
Both DASC and swap about the same $$$, DASC seems like less work, but swap might be more durable for the long term?
I've got all summer to decide.
