interior ideas ok i know its tacky cut me some slack i did it when i was 18 im now 27 and really regret it, so let me hear your ideas as to what to do (i obviously am in agreeance with what ever terrible comment may come)
the last is my current guage cluster and the car is a manual know wiht a t handle shifter
i have an option to just drop it off a an upholstry shop and let them go crazy but would like to hear some ideas
my wife wanted me to get teh arm rests cut out of metal so they looked like brushed stainless. and i thought that was awesome idea but god knows what that would cost
anyway let me know what your thoughts are.

I think it all looks okay. I think if you just had all the panels and center console wrapped in leather it would look 100x better. The gauges could look better but that is personal preferences. other then that looks good.

when i did my guages i traded a guy my ta bezel for a camaro one, so i didnt have to cut that part out. i didnt know that the camaro one has these crazy humps on the bottom which i had to cut out thats why you can see the wires in that pic, i have been lazy and not fixed it (you dont see it setting in the car driving it)

***I*** Think...
Take the door panels back to stock, along with the speaker covers...
The gauge cluster, do the panel satin black, and do something with the indicator lights... either something totally different or VHT Nightshade them...
Other than that... I think it looks good.

the arm rests are painted, that is why i said its tacky i dont want to go back stock i just want to someting way different but not look like a hot wheels car (if taht makes since)
the amp rack is mdf board wrapped in leather (no back seats) the trunk deck is just more of the same material laid over the carpet and the box is the milhouse box from sub thump, but i dont think they are even around any more.
my thoughts are to strip the paint of the speaker grills paint them flat black again, do the vent rings in gloss black. and i just dont know what i want to do with the rest of the door panel

I think if you repainted the armrests and what not in gloss black, and speaker covers back to flat black, it will look custom but still be a subtile touch. Thats what i'd do.
