Plus some new door panels....I am still undecided between these and just red inserts.

The door is awesome, the assistant with the deadner would be nice too. I spent many a nights up to 3 and 4 in the morning to finish mine over a couple weekends. Just someone to shoot the **** with would have been nice. I felt like I was doing a solo in the space station with all that shiny reflective material.
