Default My interior is 90% finished!!! (PICS INSIDE)

Well, my "to do list" for my interior has grown very short since I finished my EBONY CONVERSION (it was dark grey before) this weekend !!!

I have done the following mods:

Mad Racing Concepts Black Leather seats w/GM PERFORMANCE DIVISION brushed aluminum emblems and factory seatbelt guide...

Rear Black Leather Seats (out of an LT1 car to match the fronts' style)...







Cobalt Gauges (w/ matching BLUE LED's in gauge cluster and switches) and Chrome Bezel (custom, PITA!) around gauges w/Z28 emblem and Chrome CAMARO on the steering wheel with matching Chrome Nitrous Arming panel (Gone in 60 Seconds inspired) w/factory switches for purge and bottle opener)...











Brushed Aluminum Pedals...



In-Dash DVD/TV Tuner/CD/I-Pod/AM FM Tuner (7" motorized screeen)...



JL Audio Stealthbox w/ 10" sub...



Kickers all around... (no pics)

Custom Tweeter Pods...





White LED's for lighting (mirror, dome light, doors...)... (no pics)

and finally FULL (dash included) EBONY CONVERSION (pics in follow up post, too many to put in here)!!!


Anyone who does the conversion and doesn't do a FULL CONVERSION (dash included) is lazy !!!

I put in the work:










All that's left on my "to do list" is:

Re-Install the 4pt. Rollbar after I POR-15 it (haven't decided yet but I might leave the rollbar out)...

Leather cover for the armrest (maybe shift and e-brake boots as well)...

SLP Floormats (we'll see if I actually like them in the car)...

and eventually swap my In-Dash head unit for a DOUBLE DIN w/Navigation...


Then I finish my exhaust (needs some work after the wife drove the car over SIXTEEN SPEED BUMPS!!!) and then I finish my exterior (paint the hood, stripe the cowl, put emblems on the cowl and projector headlights).

After that I can continue with the real mods (heads, cam, tranny, etc...)

Anyways, continue reading for more pics from the conversion...

After I finished the conversion I went to snap some pics. As soon as I started my batteries died so I end up taking these pics with my camera phone ! Anyways, here they are (didn't do a final cleaning on the interior yet either)...























and some exterior pics just for the hell of it:







I like her !!

The day I spent on it was probably easier than the week you spent on your engine bay ! Being OCD when it comes to cars isn't easy is it ?

How hard were the belt guides to install? (I remember seeing your post(s) about the seats, but dont remember hearing anything about the belt guides)

Looks really good. Def shows an attention to detail second to none

Haha seeing that many wires makes me sick. Your interior looks great, I really like the front seats. I think your car would look real nice with the hood painted and some charcoal stripes on the side of the scoop to match the wheels.

How do those mad seats feel? Do they let you move less than the stock?

Love the interior, a couple things I'd do or look into...
-WS6store.com brushed aluminum HVAC *****
-ebay store bestautoparts.com diamond plate aluminum floormats-look good with the pedals
-paint some of the console, ac and radio trim, ac vents and window switch trim gloss black
-brushed aluminum door sills

Looking good man!
