Default Let's See Your Modded Interiors!

I've always been kind of a car interior geek, so I'd love to see some of your mods.

Most of the mods you can see in my car are only visible at night, as I've added LEDs for ambient lighting in the vents and console cubby. I have them mounted in a away where the LEDs themselves can't be seen, only the light they emit. It seemed a little ricey at first, but I got used to them, and I actually love what they add to the car night:

No flash, dome on:

With flash:


Daylight, but with new McNord gauge setup:

Love your interior, I would do away with the LED's in the vents though, I think it would look much cleaner.

Also prior USAF, love the gauges haha

Yeah, as I mentioned, the LEDs in the vents took some getting used to, but I really like them!

Thanks for noticing the aviation theme on the cluster. I now understand why aircraft use that font and color scheme, as it's extremely legible! Here's a better view:

Looks pretty good man. What brand of pillar gauges are those? If they come in red, I'm all over those.

They're Glowshift gauges and are adjustable for 10 different colors. Mine have worked great, but I know that other people have had problems with them so they're a bit hit and miss. I'll be upgrading to the AutoMeter Elite gauges later this year.

I have been working on my interior for the past couple months and just put my center console back in today. I wish I could post pics from my mobile but here's a url. Theres a couple small details i needa finish up like a different shift handle im working on and cleaning up the ashtray lid. I shortened the shifter, added a boot, cleaned up and tinted the gear selectors, replaced white bulb with red leds, added cutout switch to ashtray. http://s1124.photobucket.com/user/bi...tml?sort=3&o=1

Yes, that's my old Sprint EVO. I use it with an app called Torque, along with a $20 OBD2 Bluetooth dongle to monitor KR, fuel trim, and a bunch of other stuff.

Just as accurate as any other data logger, which is to say, VERY accurate.

There are actually two PIDs for KR, but you need to get the TorqueScan plug-in to scan your PCM for the second one, which is the one that works.
