Here's the interior -- circa summer of 2000, flip phone and all:

The console looks wayyy better covered! Compared to the original plastic…there is no comparison. Nice job.

Digging the flip phone. I had one of those in the console, a hidden security system with separate phone/record/radius lock, and an Alpine nav system with screen mounted in the glove box back in '00. That was stylin' for the time. LOL

OP, your interior is gorgeous!
Where did you buy your pieces? Minus the stereo and seat covers, can you give me an idea of cost?
Just beautiful...

EAsy enough, though. I used apsis and a local upholsterer to do the work, either would do it in any color you want. Find a local guy, or put your order in at apsis :-)
