Default Custom interior ideas.

Hey guys. Let's see some pics of your custom or upgraded interiors. I am planning on making some moves this fall to change the stock look in my l48. Recommendations of quality supply companies couldn't hurt either.

What year is your car Mr. Fat Pig. perhaps a starting point might help.
And what are your intentions? Lots of custom trim shops out there happy to spend your money.

It's a 1976 L48. Orange flame with the brown interior. Its dark brown, do you by any chance know the name of that brown? I am basically looking to add some new look and style to it. A lot of the interior is chipped and scratched from over 40 years of use.

I made a new center console with some storage in the arm rest. I drew up a center bezel in Fusion360 and had it printed out so I could mount a double DIN with 2 cameras. Dakota Digital made me 3 center gauges that match my other two. I'm happy with it.

Got these door panels from Big Wig Racecars, they have tons of options for the embossing.

Damn! I just got mine in the spring. It says they’re discontinued at the top of the page, but if you scroll down to the C3 section it says “temporarily unavailible, backlog full” so maybe they will foffer them again.

How much were they if you don't mind me asking?

I like these but at $1100 a pair I feel I have to pass.

ZAK, they were a little over $500 with the design i chose and the door handles. They were actually cheaper than a set of leather repro door panels. It was a no-brainer for me since my car is a mild-custom-in-progress lol

I am surprised no cup holders in any of these mods. You guys must be serious drivers.
