Interior Styling

Here we have some MOMO, Apex�i, PCP (Pro Car Parts), & Recaro products. I think I have briefly listed everything.

Here is the comparison of the stock gauges to the PCP gauges.

Add to this the Apex�i Boost gauge & you get the following: -

Here are a couple of night shots. My hand is not that steady though.

Speaking of Apex�i products, I have also purchased & installed the AVC-R. It is currently mounted in front of my air conditioning vents as I have no idea where to mount it at the moment. Here is what it looked like when I had it in the glove box.

It was then mounted on the A/C vents with the Apex'i stand. I was pretty happy with this, but always wanted to flush mount it in the vent itself.

I have also mounted an Apex'i Oil Temp Gauge in the cigarette compartment. When parked the gauge is not visible and looks stock, but once in motion it looks like: -

Stock vs Parked out on the street: -

I also installed some nice MOMO Pedals. The next MOMO part is the door jam kick panels. But I have not got around to checking them out yet, & have only seen them on the net.

The Recaro seats are all in, & I am deciding if I want to re-trim the entire car to match, or I have been thinking about re-doing the interior in leather. The first couple of pics of the seats were taken with my phone camera, so in a large view they are a little blurry.

This is how it looked with all the stock seats.
