It's tempting, but my right hand is still pretty messed up- I can barely get the transmission into 5th, and I can't grasp the steering wheel with my right hand at all- I'm definitely not in good enough shape to be doing a group run.
Well that was easy.
While I'm asking, anybody have the battery tie-down brackets and a stock 5-speed shift ****?

Definately don't want a Voodoo, but I'll take any stocker. (Did the NB and NA even use different shift ***** aside from the little cosmetic touches like leather trim?)
... and a battery hold-down bracket. Most important thing I'm missing.

Did they add that horrid pinstripe? It wasn't in the first pictures you posted. WHYYYYYYYYYYYY!!?!??!
If you want to get rid of it and it's not just peeling off, these are really awesome for removing pinstripes: Pinstripe removal tool

Everything else is correct.
Took the car in for its state inspection today, and while it was on the lift I got under there and felt around a bit. Exhaust is solid, control arms and coilovers are solid, mounts are solid, rear brake calipers are... rattling.
Not sure whether the problem is the slider pins or the bushings in the calipers, but between the two of them they're as loose fitting as a medium-sized ***** in Hustler's anus. The brakes work fine and are quiet when applied, but when slack, the calipers are just flopping around. Never seen anything like it.
Removed the seat covers this morning, and apparently I underestimated the damage to the stock leather:
So those are gonna need to get re-done sooner than expected. With my hand still far from 100%, I think I'll just find a local shop and pay someone else to do both the seats and the top at the same time.
Also, I forgot about this gem:
Always swore I'd never be one of those people to own a car with an aftermarket warm-air intake kit. The filter appears to be genuine K&N, but without a drop of oil on it.
Oiled-cotton air filters upstream of a hotwire MAF; yea or nay?
