I usually think if you want to make a car look modern , just improve its flaws instead of putting crap you dont need on there ..
exterior wise that would be rims , HID`s etc , interior wise double DIN setups , good stereo , nice seats etc.. I already have the double din and stereo part covered , and I`ll be getting a wrapped center console and shift/handbrake boot next ..
new door panels and stuff can be found from out sponsors , 6LE seats seem nice and are quite affordable..
you can keep it simple , yet have a nice looking interior , you dont want heated seats in a F-body do you ?

IMO, the Camaro's interior's not the best. I like the T/A's because of the circle vents and door panels, the Camaro's vents and door panels look old to me, but it's probably just because I own a T/A so I'm used to it

I have most of my suspension, exterior, and several parts of my interior of my next Camaro planned out... And I don't even have the Camaro yet

I'm with Zex, I've always tried to think up what would be a cool, tasteful way to modernize the interior but the use of cheap ABS plastic that 80% of the interior consists of kills a lot of it. If I had a lot of extra cash, I would look into finding a company that can remold the stock pieces with higher quality components, that would definitely go a long way towards improving the appearance.
Couple that with some updated gauges, some nicer HVAC ***** like the ones pictured, a few other small details (Maybe wrap the seats in REAL black leather) and I think it'd probably look pretty damn good.

I mean most people would agree that the design isnt that bad , its just the damn cheap looks of it ..
there was a thread where someone was doing a custom designed center console but I think that would be too much hassle for an average guy (including myself) , maybe in 10 years though ..

Sir what thread is this from??
If I had ANY idea how to go about finding a company that could replicate the interior pieces, but with a better quality material, I'd totally do it.
Too bad the Trans Am couldn't live on a bit longer, it could have done what the new Dodge Charge just did. It went from cheap plastic to a nicer, higher quality material for the newest style models

yup .. most of us cant even afford to have the interior wrapped , others can but cant justify the price , so that much fabrication would be way out of our leagues ..
At a reasonable price , interior pieces would sell like a **** though ..
Someone should find a way to make this stuff for cheap .
