Starting a Interior makeover!!
I have a 00 mag red coupe and have done my engine mods with h/c. Added bp headlights and center foglights and hids , tinted the windows, blacked out the lights.I am still going to swap out my thin spokes for a upgrade of black rims (undetermined which style as of yet!) and then everything is complete except!!!!! the interior!!!! I am switching from all black interior to mod red and black interior and upgrade the interior lights with leds as well.So i figured i would start a post about the progress as it happens along with pics as things get changed out and welcome all comments, good ,bad, and anything in between !!! so here is what it looks like now.
more interior pics to come tomorrow!!! I am looking forward to the swap and cant wait to get started!!!!

Awesome! I did a similar thing last year. I have a Z06 which had the all-black interior with the bland looking Z06 seats. I swapped to a black/oak combo and sports seats.
It's really not too difficult and I found it to be very fun work. I'm sure you'll have a great time doing this, but if you have any questions on something let us know! And be sure to post pics! Here's a before and after for my swap:

Good luck with the interior. Should really make the car stand out.

gitusum, my seat skins are from dj motorsports also and they are doing extremely well after 7000 miles. I expect your seats will be every bit as good.
