Default updated the interior a bit

so my interior has been neglected since i was at school all the time and i havent cleaned the car since last drift day. this season i have been to two drift days already and still havent cleaned it. had to take the time.

a guy i use to work for gave me a mint carpet out of a 93 sc400 and a bunch of other interior panels so i replaced most of the stuff that i had damaged.

my old carpet right after i pulled it out of the car


the damaged center console


REALLY damaged armrest


the new carpet installed with a new center console and arm rest


passenger front


one more of the cleanliness


btw to let you all know the sc300 and sc400 carpets ARE DIFFERENT!!!!!

my 93 sc300 5sp has a narrower foot rest. the carpet i have is out of a 93 sc400. the foot rest in the 400 is wider. it does not interfere with the clutch pedal unless you have huge feet.

grand total for all the parts: $0

now i have to replace one rear panel and my interior will be flawless...unlike the outside.

That new carpet looks great!
The old carpet looks...well....not great.

How are the floor mats? I bought some brand new ones from Sewell Lexus and they are gorgeous!

my old floor mats were shot. i got some free mint ones along with the carpet. the only thing i didnt get was the driver side floor mat. i think i misplaced it somehow. in the mean time i modified my old celica mat until i get another driver side one.
