Pretty much everything on the inside would be interchangable... Some day I'd like to have some of those chrome door handles and the rear door panels with the cloth inserts like the Matrix has, that's for sure!

I was actually wondering if like, the suspension is interchangeable. I'm thinkin about getting the Tein H-Spec springs for my car. 2.3 inch drop up front and 2.1 in the back. I think that is going to be a very good drop. Thanks.Inder Singh

Just wanted to make sure you get the right model. I just bought the S-Tech's myself and will have them installed soon. I think that is a nice agressive drop height. I currently have the Eibach Pro-Kit springs (1.5 F/R) and want to go lower with the Tein's.
