Default Starting My Custom Interior Project

Started with the seats, but not done with them yet, I'm not sure what else I am going to do to them yet.

Next I'm going to do the perforated leather on the doorpanels (red as well) and from there, who knows.

Yeah I want to get them embroidered, just don't have the money yet.


Any other ideas? I want to really make the interior stand out.

birds on the floor mats, smooth and paint some of the plastic pieces on the dash, stuff like that... i think ws6store has some anodized aluminum hvac controls.

just keep it classy, not tacky, though!

Just did the door panels tonight. Took quite a while to finish but I think it was worth it.

yeah, I want to keep it subtle yet different. I'm going to do the embroidered headrests when I get the money. I'm probly not going to do anything to the back seats.

only other things i can think of is black carpet, if you dont have black, and a 7" or 8" screen with a carputer would look very clean and stock. both of which are probably more work than its worth just for appearance aspect.

reminds me of a SAAB or G6. Classy way to go two tone. Nice. Understated for my own personal taste, but i still love it! Glad you did it cause now i get to look at it but i dont have to live with it. Kinda like the new vettes too now that i think about it

I've got the back seats out of it now so if anyone can think of anything to do to them tell me now lol. I'll probly just leave them out til i do do something. I don't like people riding in the back anyway.

That looks tight. Where did you get the leather from? I was thinking of doing that same thing. ANd getting the Leather shfit boots with the red stitching and red birds in the headrests but I think I need to get black seats and such first. I love the black on red.

I used the leather that was already on the door panels. I just dyed them red haha. If you want your headrests embroidered I found a guy that would do it for 95 a head rest i think.
