Gauges and Glass
For the interior, racy bucket seats with wide bolsters and color-coordinated vinyl trim is the hot item. Add to that some glowing gauges and color tinting on the windows, and you have a radically different look. If all that doesn't get you noticed, you turn up the power output and the sound system. Stay tuned for the latest on those sizzling upgrades.
