Interior designs

Well I've added a new link to my blog, for the pictures of the Interior. For the longest time I hadn't done much work on that aspect of my design. I'm now presenting an almost finished product, or rough model of what the interior is going to look like. As you can see I've taken the Digital Dash from the new Honda Civic Type R....Unfortunately if I'm going to use those parts I'm going to have to import them from Europe because they never brought it here. Then the rest of the interior is basic molded carbon fiber skins. I'm still not 100% certain of whether I'm going to use a manual or tiptronic. I know it's a sports car, and any real enthusiast would tell me that it's gotta be manual. But for all who are thinking that, would you rather have a really crummy shifter or a tiptronic auto. The reason for the crummy shifter, is I would have to design my own shift linkage. This could pose to be fairly difficult as the transmission is behind the engine, and access is very limited. Plus the stretching and contracting of cables over that distance would be horrendous.......The only other option is for someone out there to get me an amazing price on a sequential manual transmission....when I say amazing price I mean somewhere in the realm of free or under 2000 bucks
