Default how would you like this interior?


im debating it in my 82 in dark red. I think it looks modern but still classy unlike many other custom glass dashes

yes no?

I like it... I think I'd do without the rails around the shifter and more "correct" looking door panels but that looks cool as hell!!!
edited to add...
Make the pass side dash look more like a '58

The console is tooooooo much plus the door panels. But the dash itself is neat

Looking at the trim peice across the front of that landau top, I think that is a 1979 Pontiac Bonneville.

I'm betting on a Monte Carlo. I believe you could get them with T-tops.

IT is a Corvette dash and seats.... the color is way over the top but if someone could graft a newer style dash into a C3 it might be interesting??

If there were less going on, it would be great. Wrap most of it in leather, get rid of the rails around the shifter, and it would look very slick...not much to fix, really. It just looks really over the top in a ricer way.

Nope. That's a Buick Regal. My Mom had one with that trim piece.

Not my pic but it's visible in this pic.

If you like doing stuff like that you should build a custom show car.

I think he was still in shock from the picture.


Personally, I think that looks like something you'd see in a Honda Civic with Lambo doors sitting on air bags with a VEEtek

In a Vette, well, to each their own, I guess. Certainly wouldn't have it in my own.
