OLT: i found a place that can change my whole entire interior for $600.00 but not including dash and rear panels. im still thinking about it as the car is going to get new paint job pretty soon.

vredniykot: how do you adjust the ebrake by the way? it does seem kind of high.....

inovashn: i know, i hv to replace the floormats..........sorry. the dash is not quite done yet. need to get new panel.

tks for the good words, guys!!!

i did it when i had the center console out but you probably can get away with long socket
tks buddy!!

what up, man! for the shift ****, i just took out the old brown cover.....that's it.
i like how you change your carpet to black....that's a lot of work for me though....hehe
i was going to change everything in black but it will costs me 600.00 not including the dash.
i might prolly just leave everything as of now.......aiming for complete paint job and body kit.

hi, buddy! Could you tell me how you feel about the wheel? Did it just bolt on? fits right in??
Is your cruise control still working?? How about the tilting function? Please let me know as of I am in the process of buying one??
Thank you so much for your help.
