What did you leave original on a gated V8 R8?

First-generation manual R8 owners, which details did you decide to leave alone after living with the car? The exposed gate gets all the attention, but I’m keen to see the less obvious cabin details you wanted to preserve.

Anyone kept the original head unit and tucked the modern audio gear out of sight? That seems like an interesting compromise for a touring car.
