You would be better off just looking at different cars modified to get your ideas. While I am sure there are some folks here that have done this I havent really seen any C4 specifics. If your gonna have a shop do the interior talk to them about ideas.

My '92 has a custom interior including carbon fiber and custom leather. If you want to see pics of it google "C4orce2" and look for the photobucket. The main album and the album entitled "build of C4orce2" both have a few pics of the interior. Not sure if this color carbon fiber is available anymore. Most of the interior work was done about 5 or 6 years ago by a shop in Phoenix that is now out of business. Hope this helps.

Anyways...
You can do whatever you want to your C4. That's why we own them. Noone will complain that your personal style is "ruining a classic" like some of the C1-C3 guys. No one will bitch at you for "messing up a new car!!!" like the C5 an C6 guys. Yes, even the C5 guys complain to each other when they mess with the interior.
If you are going to do fabric rather than carpet, get a sheet of 1/8 inch upholstery pad. Remove carpet. Cut it to size and use some spray can adhesive to attach it. Use some sand paper to bevel the edge and make it nice and smooth. Use same glue to put on fabric. When dry, cut the edges with a VERY sharp razor blade to get it as close to perfect as possible. Then, use a bottle of really strong adhesive, and glue in piping where the seam of the fabric is to cover the edge. As with everything, go slow, take your time, and you won't waste your time.
Oh, and by the way..
