Default My Interior Changes

I have completed all of the changes to my SC400 interior that I have wanted to do:
first, a new set of guages. Mine were blacking out and I bought one from Chinoty. It is from a 1994 sc400 and is beautiful.

The color scheme is not my taste, but you have done a great job keeping it nice.

i dont wanna sound like a d1ck, but although its clean as in clean, everything is kinda outta color? your dash kit is nice, nothing overdone. your shifter is a diff color then the rest. your seats are orange? although matching with your steering wheel, not with the garnet exterior paint. and you have carbon fiber on the pillar outside your door, but no hint of it anywhere else, say inside? again i dont wanna be rude to your taste, and if your content with complete upgrade of your interior, props to you. now lets see some outside shots (being garnet biased). gluck with the rest of your mods!

You cleaned that old and worn out interior very nicely! Great job...

I can't say the same for the inserts or the steering wheel. Not my cup of tea, but hey congrats!

Default Oh Well!

I should have known that some of you all would not like the changes. I really do though.
The leather is from Leathers.com. They are the Tuscony leather. I went back to their web site to get the color names, but they do not seem to offer the Tuscony leather any more. They really are not as 'bright' as they seem in the pics and they are truly glove soft.
I did expect that the shifter would draw comment, both good and bad. I like it and you are all entitled to your opinions..
And I do like the woodgrain overlays.

The Pillars sre from Ebay : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...tem=7993667802
I did the pillars only because my black ones were begining to chip and I like the carbon fiber look.

The wood grain kit is from: http://www.wooddashexperts.com/customer/home.php
Understand that even though they advertise them as OEM match, they are not. When they came in, I called the company about it and they were willing to take them back, but I decided that I liked them and installed it. The OEM wood seem to almost disappear in the cabin and so I have seen no color/shade conflicts.

Truly these are changes that satisfy me. Unless something unforseen happens, I expect to own this car for many years to come.

B-T-W My car is a 1992 SC400 that my buddy (a superior mechanic) and I rebuilt.
