Interior dress up
Interior dress up The inside of my T/A is looking kind of plain (dare I say boring 
) So I'd like some suggestions/pics on what the rest of you have done
Here's what I thought I'do
Silver faced gages/HVAC/headlight switch
Hurst shift **** (got it)
Aluminum Pedal overlays
Anyone make any different ***** for the hvac/headlight switches (MBA used to but they're out of business
)
Some stuff I thought of but not sure about
carbon fiber, ok I guess, just not the stick on decals, want it to look like CF not just a sticker
Paint, fine but what color (ebony interior)
Seat covers
Blue gage lights (really prefer the red but not adamantly opposed to blue)
Anything else ????

Just a word of advice, if you go with pedal covers, make sure they don't interfere with the actual pedal. I put a set on my car over a year ago, and the other day it fell off, the next time I hit the gas from a stop, truthfully there was a much noticable difference. I inspected the pedal and realized that the bracket that wrapped around the pedal was not allowing me to go WOT. A guy on CamaroZ28.com just posted not too long ago with his pedal replacements, they were REALLY sweet and I think it'd be exactly what you're looking for.

Custom mats....new carpet, maybe a different color? shift boot? Can't really think of anything else and if you do paint stuff please don't go overboard on it. When it comes to paint i prefer Stock. IMO
I wasn't really digging the painting, but I threw it out there to see if there was something in the painting that would just be like "WOW gotta do that"
Custom mats sound like a good idea
Bear in mind that this would be mostly for shows (aside from the gages/hvac/headlight switch) ie take the stock stuff out, put in the custom stuff, show car, return to stock

If you do the paint, just make sure it's not spray bombed. I spray bombed my car just to get the color of the interior how I wanted it, to see if I like it or not before I take the plunge and invest in the true job. I think with yours, if you really do want that extra touch for a car show, if you smooth the texture out of the interior and paint black with a lot of clear coat (minus the dash pad that meets the windshield, because that will reflect like hell, I can vouch for that) it'll really look good at the car shows. A few touches of silver to match the stripes you have on the hood and you'd really have one hot interior. 
Well, personally I've never done it, I would say sanding it would be better since the plastic is semi flexible and the filler would probably crack the second the plastic flexes. Let me see if I can dig up a pic of this one guy's interior that has done it, I think it looks really good.
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/810872/3 found it. 
He smoothed the rear panels and painted some of the panels up front, but you can see on page 4 the picture with Chip Foose's signature on his dash that it still has the texture.

not diggin the color, but other than that, DAMN that's a good looking interiorI might try smoothing the radio/hvac bezel first, just to see how it looks (small piece, and hopefully inexpensive to replace if I f*ck it up lol )
