Anyone ever kick the idea around of building a "luxury" metro?

What features would you put in your metro to make it more luxurious?

Nice front seats (leather) out of a Porsche or somesimilar and 60/40 rear seats

Sunroof

Heated mirrors, Rear Defroster, Rear wiper.

Tilt steering wheel

A drop-in locking dock for my droid.

A better suspension. Lightweight aluminum body.

A horn that didn't suck. (meep meep!)

power steering, cruise control, heated leather, a heater fan that works on more than 1 speed "snail".

Nevermind the power steering. I would settle for a window crank other then a vice grip:)

My list exactly, but i'd like AWD if i could keep the MPG.

mountaineer, I'm glad you said never mind the power steering, because mine has that feature, I consider it fairly unnecessary :lol

Nicer seats

Better center console

Hey Bogs, lets trade the power steering for keyless entry with remote start. What do you think?

I would really like comfy seats....possibly a small bench seat for the front. keyless start and locks would be very very nice. no oil leaks would be a good feature too.

Yeah, what's the deal with terrible oil seals around the cam, crank, and distributor? At least they're easy to replace.

Any system or feature that can make the engine more steady and very quiet will be enough for me.

As stupid as this might seem:

I'm actually trying to do that of sorts with mine. I'm planning on buying a LOT of sound deadening/insulation to do the whole interior. I'd also like to try to find a set of GTi seats and have them recovered with grey leather. I'd also like to install power windows and get a VERY nice sound system together.
