I'm gonna say red harnesses because they will still be visible when someone is driving the car. Just in case the car gets another TV appearance.

Not worth it.

Get what I recommended. Only instead of a bikini use the red harnesses.

They are out of the sizes I would want. The only ones left are too big and won't fit in the car.

Is your heart set on red? Silver is a cool color, red is a hot color. I'd suggest blue or green accents.

Whichever color you go with, how about colored rollcage padding?

Instead of black rims, how about getting an unfinished set from your rim sponsor and having them anodized? Locally, Capco does anodizing. How about having other parts anodized?

If you're going to get accented seats, maybe add some color to the steering wheel, shift boot (stitching maybe?) or shift ****.

I would love to do "Takata Green", but Corbeau stuff doesn't come in that color. And I will NEVER buy colored wheels that weren't black, gunmetal, or silver. Maybe white, on the right car.

Don't buy new seats. Go to one of the many shops here in Vegas and get yours re-covered.

What about the rollcage padding?

Can't change the seats. One of the downsides of sponsorship. I would rather keep the padding black. Roll bar padding doesn't look cool enough to draw attention to.

Set up your booth with a platform and then install wild lights and sounds. That always draw a crowd.

Get a copy of the recent drfit/Nascar thing and have it loop on a flatscreen in your display.

The car won't be at a booth, it will just be outside. No electricity.

Are you referring to the girl, the bikini, or the harness?

Saw your pics at My3550Z. I have a couple more suggestions. Re-spray the cage black so that you don't see any of the red paint underneath. I noticed you have a few chips in the paint. Also, replace the white zip-ties on your padding with black zip-ties. You said you're getting a new graphics package... how about doing them in black with a red shadow, since you're doing red accents. You could also swap out your blue piping couplers for red and maybe re-paint your battery and fluid covers red.

I like your car the way it is, but since you're asking for suggestions, just thought I'd do a little brainstorming.
