It could look very nice! It will be interesting to see how it holds up though!
I would like to know also.

Looks good!
I noticed you taped over the reflector and the speaker grills. I thought those two parts could be removed?

How about a black and white checked carpet, maybe laid in on a diagonal?

Did the wife's 01 interior last winter. The knee bolsters, glove box, and door panels were definately the biggest pains.
I also did the center console, dash pieces, and gauge cluster bezel. New seat covers were done by Mid America Motorworks.

Thanks

Put some of the interior back today. Sorry for the lateness and the dirt. I also installed the official JW Motoring footwell LED kit while I was at it.
Now if I could just finish the rest...

ok, between these and the FRC/engine bay painting thread I just read, I am going to be spending some serious time behind the spray can.

Do it! Make sure you do some serious prep work to your projects. It will make the difference in the end believe me. I have a little overspray on some of the door and I hate it. I should have spent a little more time on masking everything off.

Wasn't sure I cared for them until I saw what you've installed so far. Pretty
color combo. Nice work.
