Well lately I haven't have that much money but I do have certain talent of design and ocd of perfection as being final. So this thread is the start of my retro interior build!

So what are you hoping to accomplish? A full SC430 interior would definitely not make me want to even think about selling my SC. Keep us posted on some of your creative designs!

+1! I want to see how this is going to happen. Are you going to try to find a wrecked sc430 and maybe use parts out of that or custom work everything from scratch?

flipboi

so your going to try to copy the 430s interior design?

I sorta see where this is going...but that's going to be challenging

I thought the 430 interior is nice but getting the 300/400 sc to look like that will cost too much. Interesting project if you do get started. Good luck.

i will be making everything from scratch. First would involve making a sketch, and for a easy skip I'm thing of getting a extra of everything so i am able to not strip my interior while making this. Then use the bolt patterns and door panel to dash curves so there wont be a fitment problem. The design process will be easy just time consuming, ill probably end up making a CAD model of it to figure out what dimensions I will be needing to cut out from wood. Then eveything will be getting a fiberglass layer, bondo and leather fitted.

Making a 300/400 interior look like a 430 interior can be done but will take a pretty good chunck of money. Believe me I have had the same thought too but is kind of expensive. I'm thinking your going to get a 3 spoke wheel with wood on it, take some of the pieces surrounding the radio and climate control in wood, door sills with the Lexus logo, maybe put a navigation unit but have it covered with wood so you don't see it all the time? Gated shifter is a must....probably black and tan combo, thats about all I can think of. Curious to see what you do. Here is a little help with a door sill idea....take some door sills from a second gen GS....just dremel the back down flat and just tape it on our existing door sill. Good luck and can't wait to see what you have in mind.

I like your idea CThompsen....can't wait to see your ideas in action. Should turn out great.

I never liked the center console on the 430, but the rest is pimptastic. The wood just messed with my eyes - there was so much of it.

This will look good if you pull it off.

Thanks guys, well in oe of my previous Eagle Talons I started to convert it to celica door panels since the shape was nicer. but back to this...
Since this will be happening I mine as well go all out on finding the *Perfect* design like mix up everything to get a good idea. I agree with O.L.T. the center console will probably be the hardest part to figure out what looks good.
Heres what i mean by mix
This is just example nothing final.
I like our stock seats so i'm keeping those
09 LS dash design * still thinking about center console.
09 SC door panel
so on, maybe even from different company's
