put in some red leds for sexlights...
Decided I didn't like the silver in the interior, just not my thing. I got all the parts at Amigos (tons of Foci out there) and built the switch panel out of My old car's metra kit, a piece cut out of the top of an old intake box, and the switches themselves are green LED switches from oznium.com. I also put blue tint over the autometer guages so they'd match the rest. I think the result is much more aggressive. If anyone wants the silver parts let me know. They are pretty nice, just not my thing like I said.
So from this:
To this:
I also barred and waxed the entire car...
Let me know what you think :)
Next time: SVTF brakes, Stereo install and what I look like after 2 months with no sleep... stupid car... :P

MUCH BETTER INTERIOR.
I was never a fan of painted interiors myself.
But hey, what do I know?

Looking good!!
Not a fan of the red interior light, but the switches in the the pocket under the radio are an awsome idea!!

I liked the silver, but the black trim looks really good too. The switch plate under the stereo really fills in that area. The flat fiberglassed one sort of makes it look like such a blank space.
Only thing I'm not a fan of is the blue calipers. But I'm just not a big fan of painted calipers (unless they are factory painted or aftermarket).

I didn't mind the silver, a little to bright for my liking. The black is a bit 'basic' though to me. If I were you, I would have went with a similar color to the exterior, just enough gray to make it stand out but with a very 'factory' look.
I wish I had some good pics of my interior. If your around sometime, I'll swing by Crappy Tire and show you if you want.....
Regardless, it looks awesome, keep up the great work!!

Looks good. The dash would look even better if you glassed the whole metra kit in. Would give it a really smooth stock look.

I like the update, looking at all the rocker switches I can't help but think of James Bond "What does THIS button do" type of thing, but that's just me (Esp. since they're unlabelled, all the more temptation to press 'em for me :P)
