Default Interior Up-Grade

Well my interior project is done, new rear carpet, up-graded seat covers, steering wheel cover & the dash is re-done. I had the old rose wood panels and they were in bad shape the finish was lifting & cracking so I decided to re-cover them, I used the old panels as templates bought some spray adhesive & some vinyl, I also did the head liner the same color. The door sills I had from a older vett ,painted them black then used gold lettering & clear coated them. I also did the door inserts in black vinyl, door carpets & hush panels I died black. I think it turned out ok, just thought I would post some photos.Its a 87 64K on the clock.

Looks like a new car. Too bad you weren't the engineer that designed the cheap interior for the 84-89, I like the look and better material.

Looks great. Did you wrap the vinyl underneath the stock plastic and then secure it? Did you have any clearance problems (like with the cupholder lid)? I would consider something like this for mine....sharp.

I had old rose wood panels that were on top of the dash panels so i warped it around those and cut it flush on the back side, but i bet you could do the same with the stock panels
