The Motec does a whole heap of data logging though doesn't it? Personally I think for the price they charge it should look a little nicer too.
Why would you swap the stock instruments for the Stack? Personally I think the Stack is way overpriced, though maybe I don't know all of its features??
If you want to swap rear brakes, I'd be happy to although someone has already offered you some for free 
The AC vent pieces (at least here in Australia) are surprisingly expensive. Like REALLY expensive.
According to the Australian Soarer Club, someone over here is making CF hoods for about 700 US dollars. I don't have many details though.
First thing I would do is a CD player if you daily drive it

The AC vents are really expensive here too, I would probably have like close to $1000 in AC vents and a wood trim piece I need!

So what does the Stack do for all that money that the stock gauges don't?
I've seen the Stack installed and I'm not really a big fan of the numeric readings.. graphic is much better.. you don't have to think about it. Boost would be particularly worthless. I hate to say it, but I'd rather have the stock stuff and a few pillar gauges than the Stack.

1. I don't like big tachs and the stock tach will not work now that I have gone distributorless. Currently I have the Defi tach with playback and peak hold, but I don't want to have that big tach in the car forever.
2. I don't like having A Pillar gauges, and even if I did I would have to come up with a way to mount them to my roll cage (which is in the way of the A pillar) without looking bad. There is not really anywhere else to put them that would be relatively easy to see other than where the stock gauge cluster is.
3. I don't like having multiple gauges all over the place, it is too hard to reference them quickly.. With the stack I will have one unit that will take the place of me having 5 or possibly 6 seperate gauges in various places, and the warning feature will be all in one place.. I see a warning go off, I let of the gas and check my peak hold values to see what was up. With multiple gauges the warnings may be out of line of site, and I wouldn't be able to see them as readily.
4. It comes with a wheel speed sensor for the speedometer, so even if I go from a 26" tire to a 28" or if I switch rear ends my speedo will continue to measure speed accurately.
5. It also comes with a fuel level sensor that I could use easily if I went to a fuel cell instead of my stock fuel cell, if I decide to do that ever it gives me that option.
