interior work

i posted in the interior, audio, and electronics forum but i guess it should go here since it has photos. well check it out and let me know what you think


I got bored with the stock look and wanted to customize the interior a bit. I started playing with fiberglass and this is what I've come up with so far. This is my first time attempting a project like this. Let me know what you all think here are some pictures of the progress so far.

uh not sure what i should think of this...

Some may think that's overkill but it's definitely unique. Keep doing what you like and post up more pics.

To each, their own.

I think it's overkill color wise but it's a great job given it was your first attempt at something like this :)

What colors would you go with on a winning blue?

sjschutz 10-04-2011 08:54 PM

You could have made the entire door panel black suede with only the blue door handle/cover and the switch cover. But I actually kind of like it. Definitely catches the eye when the door is open

I like it. Shit looks cool.

FERA 10-07-2011 11:07 PM

Looks good man, goodjob
Do they seats next

Just doesnt seem like it fits the car well. The color is good just the suede interior on the doors is weird to me.

Looks like you did a good job though.

I think blue leather would of look better (just my opninion) not really feeling the black and blue suede and the speaker. Or instead of blue and black suede how about black and grey Bride fabric pattern. something like this (check out the interior on the civic, simple)

No really a fan of the bride fabric pattern. especially since I have stock cloth seats

kosokuRx8 11-15-2011 12:14 PM

Looks dope. Keep it up.

4theride1 11-15-2011 12:35 PM

Looks good man! My first thought when I saw the first pic was STi colors, but cooler.

rx8_fun_man 01-13-2012 10:59 PM

Hey man I'm looking in to doing the same thing but just to the parts where you have blue, but I was wondering where did you get your material and how hard was it to do?

s.sidhu23 01-13-2012 11:03 PM

looks good. i just think you need to do somethin with the seats soo the suede doesnt look out of place

Jake33 01-14-2012 12:15 AM

Looks like good work, just too much color for me
