Custom floor mats would be a start. Maybe paint some interior peices.

If you choose the paint, do it conservatively. Use one color for everything that looks good. I would just match your exterior color, looks like it came from the factory that way. Could go carbon fibre but it's mighty expensive! White face gauges are always good, I saw some around for like $95. Shift ****, usually around $40. Racing seats, floor mats as mentioned, steering wheel, door sills, etc...

Don't do paint. some people have and it looks good but its just really hard to get a scheme that doesnt look cheap .. and if you mess something up its not cheap to buy the new parts. :o\

I ordered some last week from Carmotorsports and if they're anywhere near as good as the car cover I got from them I'll be very impressed (for pics of the cover see my post called "custom intake plaque and other stuff"). I should have them in about a week or so and I'll post pics as soon as they're in the car. So if you wait a few days you can see what mine look like and then decide if it's something you want to do . Oh, also, you could order one of Brent's intake plaques...they look killer!

Now that is HOT!! jk

I'd say for a cheap interior fix, do a ONE COLOR scheme w/ the ac vents, and door handles, then add a Trans Am gauge bezel, along w/ some white face gauges. That to me, would clean it up a bit.
