just a random crappy pic of the interior today. reason is I swapped in the radio and hvac unit from the parts car and now i have most of the buttons lighting up as well as an external temperature reading. oh man it's very useful! also, the radio doesn't act funny anymore cuz my old one would randomly cut out the music.

you guys can see where i mounted the wideband and boost gauges.
the camry steering wheel was supposed to be temporary but it ended up remaining on the car for a long time. I just got a replacement steering wheel and I'll wrap it with wheel skin again. gotta love wheel skin.

What color did you go with? I need my steering wheel redone and it looks like you have the same color interior.

The TL looks nice, congrats! Did you install those seat covers or did it come with them? They look out of place on a fairly new vehicle.

I did it when i bought my car, which is why I know that it is a 300k+ miler
obviously the previous owner messed with the cluster so it's not displaying the original mileage.
