Interior advice! Need help!

I really am having a hard times deciding what I want to do with the interior in my '01 Firebird. It's red with black C6 corvette wheels. I want something cool and original. I don't want to fill it with red or anything ricer looking, I still want it to catch the eye though. Pictures and advice would be appreciated thanks!

I'd look at adding some redline goods accessories. Steering wheel covers, shift/parking brake boots, door handle covers. They look to have some really nice stuff.

And to finish it off

All I did was pretty much paint select panels glossy black, add a good liking steering wheel and got some red line leathers. Next thing is black carpet and aftermarket seats with red stitching

Might as well spray paint the ac vents while you're at it!

I really like where you're going with it! It looks closer to what I'd like. I want a kind of modern, 2015 feel. Like most cars have today I just don't know how to achieve that.

I would look at doing an interior panel wrap, nothing will update the cars insides like covering up the bare plastic that makes up most of the interior.

I added some red to mine (black car) and did paint the vent rings, had my doors and center console wrapped and redid my seats and head rests. Also swapping out the old incandescent bulbs for some leds makes a change as well.

Unfortunately aside from coming up with an entirely custom interior, about the most you can pulll off is changing colors of parts by painting or wrapping them. Carbon fiber stuff seems to be popular. You can also send some parts off to be hyrdo dipped as well. There are a lot of patterns available and Ive considered doing some of the stainless metal patterns on a few parts just to see.

Redline offers quite a few items as well, like armrest wraps not to mention shift boots. Petal covers are an option as well I think a site sponsor carries them.

their used to be some billet ac **** replacements but i dont know if you can still get those.

I thought about wrapping my interior with vinyl and it sounds like a pretty good idea. I've been to red line goods and there's so many things I'd like to try off their website. Thanks for some ideas man!
