Default Need Some Interior Advice..

I'm open to any ideas to help make the interior look classy
I'm not really sure of all the things and ideas available to our interiors, so i need some help.

I already have LEDs, and I dont really like white face gauges.



I'd love some nice light-up gauges to put in a pod on the pillar, but all the ones I see are extremely expensive. Can anyone recommend a good kind thats on the cheap side?

Thanks

Go with autometer gauges. Not really that expensive. Why don't you like white faced gauges?

Sorry man I have no suggestions except for maybe a Hurst ****? My interior has a hurst shifter and a TCS plaque. Looks for some threads made by other member showing off their interior. Someone can make their interior really nice and some make bad decisions and can screw it up badly. That's mostly the reason I stay away from messing with my interior other than I just like the way it looks stock.

-Embroidered Head Rests/Floormats
-White Face Gauges (even if you dont like em )
-Tripple pillar
-Aluminum *****/switches(AC, Lights)
-Dragonz28 Emblems maybe? (Build number, options)

Anything more than that is really over done imo

Specialized Stainless: https://ls1tech.com/forums/appearance-detailing/952106-macewen-gauge-overlays-trans-am-bezel.html

is now offering Macewen Overlay Gauges which are bad ***!!!

Also, you could always go with Silver...instead of White Faced!


I personally like my Silver Faced Reverse EL Glow Gauge:

Eh then extra gauges aren't for you because $50 is CHEAP for these gauges

Here's mine. Silver face gauges with red logos. Red MBA ***** and shifter.

SRP pedals, led interior bulbs, and a few misc. things.

I know http://prosportgauges.com/ makes some good gauges. They are located in Florida right by me and I've used their oil psi and boost gauge in previous cars and they've worked great.

The guys that work there are great and they have awesome customer service.

Also I agree with getting the shift ****, maybe the cluster overlay... thats about it, but I'm not about flashy interior, just one that works

You can change the color of the door panels.

Here is how to do it on the 1998-2002 Firebird door panel:

Here is what mine look like:

(My installation deviated a little bit. Read the page for more info.)
