FL Interior Modifications anyone?

Trying to see what you guys have going on in your interiors? Dailys and race car setups?

I myself am slowly building a luxurious sport street car feel for the interior. Converted the dash to Suede tex, carbon fiber trims, a wooden wheel to give it a classy feel (also because i brought it back from Japan "memories") might be changing it for a carbon fiber steering wheel. Planning on leather wrapping the seats with quilted diamond stitch centers in a Red leather. Many other mods still to come.

Was skeptic at first, but the end result doesn't look that bad. I'd switch out the LCD display for some old school analog gauges with chrome surrounds.

Thank you for sharing these photos. Looks clean. I'm planning to Suede-Tex a portion of my dash also, as part of a budget cracked passenger dash repair. This helps me anticipate the final look, even though I plan on coating fewer pieces than you went for.

Awesome glad i was able to shine some light on how it looks. I had to repair the airbag portion myself. We sell the trims already flocked through my company. Jaaku Racing. So if you ever need or want suede text pieces contact me. Thanks i appreciate the compliment.

That would look pretty good with the wooden steering wheel and classy look.

Fabricated a gauge pod in my daughter's car this past spring. I need to re-seat it, the epoxy didn't survive our summer in car temps. Using 60mm gauges and fits really well in the nav screen slot. They are angled towards the driver, had to photo from pass. because of sun.

Awesome little setup. I like how you used the Navi trim to be able to recess the gauges in. What type of epoxy did you use? Im in Miami so i know all too well about heat lol. The only thing i would have done different is flip the hoods so they would provide cover for the lighting of the sun. I might incorporate this into my build once i am in need of getting some gauges. Good stuff keep it up!.

The wheel is an interesting addon, I like it. I've always been a fan of the electronic cluster, though, it all just seems to flow right, especially before all the lcd.
