just do a rear seat delete and add some of those nice looking box things that go in place of your rear seats

I'm going to be wrapping my sail panels, door panels, trunk trim panels, hatch panels, and kicker panels. Basically everything thats tan will be wrapped black and if everything turns out good then I'll do the center console, pillars, and other misc pieces. But I just need to find where I can buy the right vinyl online.

BTW the interior on the Firebird is simply amazing and you have inspired me to do my interior. Thank you
I want to know the same about the material.

OK, had done some changes since last. Doors are now all black with red piping. The CF panels are now hydro dipped in brush aluminum style. Wheel and shift **** follows the black and red theme.

I was just thinking about doing some wrapping like this.

Hadn't searched for it yet, but this is perfect!

I'll be rereading the entire thread tonight to decide if I can try to tackle this or not!
Would you recommend it for a novice?
All I've done is trim and stretch my own ozite carpet, came out decent for a first try but I got in a hurry (still haven't finished the back half of the car lol) but its kinda the same thing.

I just read all 16 pages of this thread and all I can say is DAMN. That looks ridiculously good. I know that this is for sure something I'm going to attempt to do myself. I'm going to a junkyard to get some random panels off some dead F-bodys (May they rest in peace ) and pratice on those before I start tearing apart my own cars interior.
