Default Interior Build Thread

This summer I plan on freshening up my interior, getting a repaint on the exterior, and getting my wheels repaired and polished. This thread will be for the interior which is what I'm doing first.

I have planned:
Wrapping my dash, center console, and doors with black automotive imitation leather.
New leather seat covers
New carpet (maybe)
New floor mats
New headliner
Repair sun visors
New pedals (maybe) - SRP Racing Pedals Grid Style
New Window Tint

I have already ordered my leather kit from specialized stainless (http://store.specializedstainless.co.../Detail?no=156)
it comes with everything I need. The main reason I'm doing this is because my upper dash has two cracks in it and I'm gonna just wrap it all in black leather to give it a nicer look and get rid of the cracks. The kit is on its way and I should be getting it all done throughout the week next week so I will keep this updated with pics

got my first piece wrapped in leather it's not perfect but I'm satisfied for my first try. Next step for me is window tint. Also my dash pad shattered into 30 pieces so if any of you have an extra one or know where one is let me know!

after just sitting back and looking at the radio bezel and the rest of my charcoal interior there was just too much contrast for my liking so I'm covering everything thats not tan...entire dash, both upper and lower console, and panels on the door. So far I have most of my interior out since I am putting new leather seat covers on, cleaning my carpet, and replacing my headliner and sun visors also. Got about 2/3 of my dash bezel done today
