Some side-by-side of old vs. new. i really like the new look.
I am not a fan of the woodgrain. I started this in early May and ended in early June.

i wanted to update the look of the dash. The woodgrain looked out of place and the plain black plastic was just depressing. I used Rustoleums for Plastics - Silver Hammered. It gave the pieces some texture while providing a nice coat. I had to disassemble a lot more than I expected. But I'm glad I did.

just got my rear deck recovered with vinyl. I used some 3M 90 spray adhesive, and trimmed it to fit perfectly. i also painted the rear speaker and seatbelt pieces silver to match the doors and front. i took my third brake light and the mystery child seat loops off and now the rear has a simple and sleek look.
