Oh I like that! Sort of a German look to the interior. Please let us know if you're able to get more of this.

thanks for the kind words guys.

Here are some more pics.

For the vents, I didn't use vinyl (you can't wrap those in vinyl). I DIY painted them with some good paint that's perfect for plastic pieces. Turned out pretty nice IMO.

broken driver side vent + spare Air/Fuel ratio gauge = this.

btw I also painted the gauge cluster cover thingy (one of the easiest thing to pull off).

last one, passenger side vent.

I had to be SUPER careful not to break it like the driver side.

I should've bought that interior stripping tool. Anyone know where I can find one?

Globe, thanks.... Now all I need to is take out the vents and bring them to the bodyshop to have them match the color of my car like the air-controls and face-plate....
