Just curious about what everyone thinks of what I've done so far?

I think it looks cool.
I prefer the stock look myself, but I think you have a cool ride.
I especially like the shielding/carpet job, and I think I might drift from the stock look and add a speaker set up like yours.

Wow, Great job! Looks like you put alot of work into it.
You're going to have to tell everyone here how you got that steering
wheel to fit. What brand is it and what hub adapter did you use.
TIA.

Nice! Man it really needed seats, didn't it. Did you get those with the GP here on the forum? How do you like them?

I especially like the black and gray accent of the door panels. Very nice!

I couldn't believe the way it started and how it looks now. You have done a lot of hard work on your car. Good job.

A classy car... Nice paint, nice stereo... Clearly a LOT of work.... But the interior makes the entire car look.... well.... TACKY.
Get some DYE, dude... make the interior look as classy (and BITCHIN') as the outside!!!

Its a Momo steering wheel with a Momo hub adapter. I had to do some searching for the hub adapter but I finally found it. I found it at gprparts.com Thanks for the compliments!

The seats are Corbeau A4's. I got them from Apex performance. I ordered them with the custom mounting brackets. The lady even gave me a break on the price for ordering both seats and brackets.
Thanks
