I think i like it, except maybe more not-so-grainy pics would help me decide for sure.

The colors are hard to tell unless we get cleaner pics. Doesn't look bad.

The only thing, is DON'T DO DIAMOND TUCK. Ugly as hell 70's pimpmobile custom crap. If you do the diamond tuck might as well go the whole way and put the naked lady riding a dragon mural on the hood and some air shocks for the back.

Otherwise, it looks good.

Just my $.02

Not really liking the new changes. I think you need to replace the ripped seats first before anything else. Good effort though.

I'd first like to say that I think the car is shaping up pretty good so far and that I like where this project is heading. Good job!

a oldschool diamond patterend insert

As some one already mentioned, if you're going for something of a '70s pimpmobile, you may as well go ***** out with it.

In my opinion, your project is aiming for something classy and tasteful. I'd say go with a simple black. A matching black carpet and headliner together with the black will highlight the milk chocolate leather you have already installed in there.

If you must go a little bit further, I'd say look for a durable fabric insert that matches what your GF put on the center console. This way it'll be something unique, but is still in harmony with the rest of the interior.

what do you think?
I kinda like it. The pattern is opulent, but the black color helps it retain elegance.

Just my two cents...Keep us posted whatever you end up doing!

i love the darn brown and black with wood combo. it looks super classy, reminded me of a bentley or aston martin for some reason. as far as the center console goes though, the headunit is a bit too busy for my liking, and i would paint your volume and climate *****! i also see your AC screen is shot, that sucks mine is too its such an eye sore. but yeah overall i'd love to see this finished with what you have in mind! i give it a big

i love that brown though if only you could 2 tone all the upper trim ( darker brown pieces) so that it is light tan and dark tan , like the factory just imo it would look way better

Sorry, but a 4 tone interior does not look good, you'll need to change the tan and brown to black to make it look good with the caramel color.

Not my cup of tea but all it matters is if you like it.

Props for getting the GF involved, good stuff!

Waiting for new pics.
