Thinking about trading in the CR-Z for a Fiat 500 Abarth, thoughts?

That's true enough, I know I'd love to have the entire interior of my car done in black and red Italian leather w/ Alcantera headliner, wonder what that would cost!!

Not as much as you think... there's a great shop 10 minutes from me that could do it and do a fantastic job

I'd have my car repainted... top to bottom, and all trim bits replaced new. As much as I try, I'm working backwards with my car. It was a cosmetic mess when I bought it. I've been "restoring" the exterior since I bought it over 2 years ago.

After that? Hmmmmm, not sure. New head, upgraded internals and maybe a TVS or Rotrex to boot

I would expect the interior job to be $10K, that's a "lotto job" for me, LOL!

Oh no, I'm sorry Monica, this is warranty work, the corner of the A-pillar section has worked itself apart a bit. Luckily I have a buddy who's a service writer for Chrysler so he was able to get the entire headliner replaced instead of them trying to do a "quick fix".

Ok, car is dropped off for the headliner replacement and I'll be picking it up tomorrow. Nice hour drive to the dealership on a beautiful sunny day. OBC is showing 36.5 mpg, love it, talk about having your cake and eating it too!

The car will not be ready till Thursday morning now, I guess they're down a tech, will get a rental car I guess. I hate being without my car, let alone it being there for half of today, all of tomorrow and part of Thursday. I'm really worried about where its going to be parked as far as next to other cars and I specifically told them to NOT WASH THE CAR, I did it before I took it in, even took out my towels and milk crate full of detailing supplies so they didn't have to mess with anything.

Wish me luck everyone, PLEASE!

Not Italian leather, but you can get a Katzkin leather interior for a little over a grand. I'm not sure on their pricing when you go custom though.

How do you like the car so far? I loved it when I drove it, I just wasn't sure if I could live with the exhaust noise everyday.
