Current Interior Pictures, Page Updated July 19, 2008
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, so I just repainted just about the entire interior. So, I changed some things around so that it was cleaner. I got rid of the chrome stickers, added a new shifter, and changed some colors. And, I finally painted the ceiling for the first time. These two pictures are what it looks like currently (very dirty that is lol). You can see an LED strip in the ceiling picture (it is off). Scroll down for night pics!
Here are some older pictures I took a year after I painted EVERYTHING blue or black, so it is somewhat dirty (especially the carpet). Oh well!
Here are some older pictures, but not much has changed.
See page 20 for some details and pictures of when I was painting everything.

Ok, so some night pictures!
These LEDs turn on when the door opens (only the ones at the top of the doors). That is why the door is slightly ajar:
The rest of the blue LEDs inside the car turn on with the parking light switch. These first pictures show where I put the strips.
So, they are under and above the armrests on the doors, above the windows, under the seats (to light up the rear floor), inside the foot wells (to light up the front floor), inside all 4 vents, around the A/C controls and center console, and around the glasses area. In the trunk, there are blue LEDs on the underneath of the trunk lid, on the trunk lid arms, under the amp (not shown above), and on the ceiling of the trunk. There are white LEDs on the ceiling as well. I don't plan on putting in anymore, but I could put them under the car, too.
Ok, so I lied, here are the real night pictures!
Here are pictures with all of the blue lights on:
Oh yeah, and I wired a 4 foot long white LED strip on either side of the ceiling to the reading light on the sunroof light switch (which stopped working for some reason). These next pictures are with ALL of the lights on!
Think it is too bright? When you shut the door, you are left with this (notice how there is little light in your eyes or at eye level):
These are some pretty old pictures before I put the LED strips in. They made a big difference! These pics are close ups of the LEDs that I put in all of the switches and buttons and stuff.
See page 26 for details on how I put LEDs everywhere.
This is a close up of my front interior reading light. The LED panels are from my first LED bumper lights, and they are much brighter than the stock bulb.
And a close up of my door light with two LED festoon bulbs side by side (about as bright as stock, but nice and bluish).
