I've done alot to the interior over the years. The way it looked stock and the way it looks now, you would almost think it was a different car. Check it out!:

*****************************************************************************************************************
Here some pictures of the car bone stock:

*****************************************************************************************************************
When I first got the car, everything was manual. Nothing was power. Well that just wouldn't do so I started taking the car apart. First was power doors. It basically consisted of attaching power selenoids to the lock rods and then wiring it up to 12 volts. So here you go:

*****************************************************************************************************************
Next to do while the door panels were off was power windows. First I purchased some universal power window kits, but believe me, that is not the way to go. They were junk. After some research, I found I could get the stock regulators and motors. So I bought them and installed them. Also bought a set of stock switches and installed them in the center console. At this point I still had the stock door panels and console in the car:

I covered the manual crank holes with these neat little Firebird symbols. Cool huh?

*****************************************************************************************************************
I put in some floor mats with the Firebird logo embroidered:

*****************************************************************************************************************
I started painting little odds and ends in the car metallic silver. But like I said before, the old console and doors are still in. Plus I had a jet fighter Razo shift knob in then. But it was a piece of crap so I took it out. You'll see the new one below with the new console.
Some shots of the center console and radio trim plate:

The gauge pod:

All the trim pieces on the doors:

Little vents on the dash pad and the speaker grills:

The rear speaker vents:

The dome light trim:

I painted the mirror too! Hard to tell:

And lastly the door sills:

*****************************************************************************************************************
Finally to the 4th gen WS6 center console. It wasn't very hard to put in, but it wasn't very easy either. There was some trimming on the inside I needed to do to get it to fit. Once it was in, I ordered a custom red leather shift boot. Also painted some parts on it silver to match the rest of the interior:

The power window switches remounted, now you see it, now you don't:

*****************************************************************************************************************
Well at this point, I decided to get rid of all the grey in the car. So piece by piece, I converted the car's interior to black. I spent a whole weekend taking out every plastic piece in the car . One by one I spray painted them black. What a job! Here is the finished result:

*****************************************************************************************************************
Well the door panels were still grey and ugly and I need them to be black with the rest of the car. I did a lot of searching and finally found a company in California who made custom door panels for third gen F-bodys. They recently started selling them on Ebay too. I decided to have them mold red flames on the doors and put the Phoenix on the lower front part. Here they are:

But if you looked closely, the arm rests were still grey. Not for long. I found Duplicolor's vinyl and leather spray paint. So, you guessed it, I painted them:

*****************************************************************************************************************
Well my headliner was sagging, the sailpanels were shot, and the visors wouldnt stay up anymore. So since I wanted them all black anyway, it was time to get new ones:

*****************************************************************************************************************
Lastly, the biggest thing that needed to be changed were my seats. Now my stock seats were still in perfect condition, but they were cloth and grey and I always wanted black leather. After hunting for months on Ebay, I finally found an affordable good condition set of leather seats from an 89 GTA Trans Am:

*****************************************************************************************************************
So during the day, car looked great inside. But I wanted it to look great at night too. So I went to Pep Boys and bought some neons. I installed one under each footwell and one long bar across the back. I tuned them to light up and beat to my subs. Its has an awesome effect at night:

*****************************************************************************************************************
Here are just general pictures of the interior completely finished. I love the way it all came out. Look up at the top and look at it stock and compare it to now, big difference no?:

Great new site and your car is very clean and nice! How much were your door panels and what company did you get them from?
