Default FINALLY, the car is Done! New Custom Paint, Katzkin Leather, Carbon Fiber etc,..

Hey Everyone,

So I finished the car about 1 1/2 ago, but have been too busy and lazy to post up images. So here they are. I've tried to be as taste full as I can.
She used to be Fire engine Red, but now it's Porche Seal Grey Metallic.
The Seats are Katzkin, ebony with dark grey. This helps keep the flow of the car on the inside. The armrest was covered as well, and I made a little thing for the cup holder to continue to keep the flow.


The center console gauges I did my self, and the car is supercharged. I moved to Traction Control switch to under the coin panel thing. I think it's the last pic.

And I had covered the window switches, and center console, and side speaker panels in a faux carbon fiber,...which I think turned out nice. I always tried to keep a balance with everything. So there it is. I hope you like it!

looks like a windshield visor.

And I think your pics are stretched making it looking pretty weird

Look great but that cupholder cover looks kinda odd IMO

I normally hate those stripes, but it looks very nice here. Diggin' the hard-top. Interior is not overdone, the color is very very clean. Any chance we could get a look under the hood?

I like it alot. The interior looks sick. Where did you get all the carbon fiber pieces for the interior? Im looking at doing that to my SS. I really like the lower door panels and center console.

Thanks everyone for their comments. I adjusted the first pic, it was getting squashed so it made the car look short and fat. Maybe now it will look better.

It's not so pretty underneath. But I did keep the Red, which I kind of like how it contrasts against the grey.

As for the wheels, I always liked the stock ws-6 wheels, but I do agree with you,....something different would have been nice. I did want to get some Fikse FM-5 with the dark grey centers.....but that's just way too much money. Some TT2's with the dark grey would be my 2nd choice.

Is that CF wrap or is it actually molded to the part? Either way, it looks really good. We have the same shift ball

EDIT: Just noticed you said faux CF. My bad.

I added a photoshop job of some black Fikse FM-5, and a complete rear view. Man I wish I could get those Fiske's.

The CF is a really cool thing. It's a fake carbon fiber wrap. You send out your part to the company and they wrap the part for you. I've been around a lot of real CF, and I think this faux CF is pretty good in comparison.

I can't remember of the top of my head where I got it done, but I'll look around and post it when I do.
