Then, I decided to tackle the much hated Tan interior. I didn't know what I wanted to do with it first, so I decided to go get some cheap paint and the hardware store and see how that turned out.
I wanted to make sure that I painted every tan piece I could see. Even the small little covers that go on the seat legs! For the doors I used a different kind of paint. The parts store had a vinyl paint that would stick to surfaces like no other. So, I decided to go with that. I think it looks amazing!
I HATE TAN!!!
Next I decided to get a little crazy. While I had most of the interior out already, I couldn't help myself, but to remove the entire carpet and put in a new one. I went on ebay and found a black set (to replace the gross tan) and bought it, thinking this was going to be a pretty easy job..... NOT!
It's a little hard to see, but you get the gist. I think it came out perfect for a first timer with no experience in automotive interiors.
While the center consol was out, I decided to go big with the REAL B&M short shifter kit and the bushings kit for the plate and under the hood shifter linkage. This made a world of difference. After setting the short shifter to 50% reduction in throw, I barely have to move my wrist to shift.
I also decided that I wanted to try something. I have seen it on the forums and thought it would be a nice touch in the custom direction. Yes, the Boost Gauge Cigg lighter swtich! I think it looks pretty sweet!
