Interior Modifications
Hope I'm not 
with this one, but I was wondering what kind of interior mods everyone has done. I have an '88 Coupe and since my engine is finally running strong and hard, I need to fix the interior so that it can FINALLY be used to pick up chix 
(Took a year.. 
)
I'm wondering about those "Personal Touches". I saw a '90 coupe, which looked like it was leather with white stitchings all over it. I've never seen too many '90 interiors, so I don't know if this is standard. Nonetheless, I like the idea. So I was wondering what everyone has done to make theirs "Their Own".
I'm anxious to start the modifications. I pay for school in 2 weeks and then after that, I replace the seats and carpet and then I can really start!
Thanx in advance and I'm excited to see those interior shots =)

Sounds like a lotta money went into it, though =)

The blue actually grew to my tastes. I now love it. I'm actually thinking about taking my center console pieces and re-painting them black (they're all scuffed and worn out) and then doing the trim of them the bright blue, which can be bought from MidAmerica.I think it'd be a little different..

So basically, there are two textures on the interior plastics: Smooth and Textured. Smooth is basically the piece itself, which I would keep black. The textured is all out the trim of the pieces, which I would make blue =)But I do like you interior!

Now leather and Alcantara on most panels, others painted, steering wheel thickened, audio system redone etc.
