Custom Interior Completed, comments welcome!
OK, here is what I think. I've never been a fan of mounting gauges on top of a dash and screwing them in. Think about getting your dsah lighting redone to match the Defi's? Seems so 1997 with an Autometer Tach. The stick on wood grain needs to so ASAP. The gauges, steering wheel, and wood trim do not go well together at all. It's like your interior is having an identity crisis. I've always liked your car. Keep up the good work.

it looks like nhra meets lexus. i guess im boring and like simple and clean cars. way too much going on and everything is a mishmash.
i think once its all matching it will look better. but definitely drop the gauges (hide).

Well I had the a pillar. Cutom molded but it was killing of field of view and I didn't like it. Where I think most of the comments about the gauges is coming from is a luxury sleek poiint of view. When this car isn't being used for that. It's a drift car. You don't hide the gauges. You need them in view to watch your levels. This car is for performance not show. I didn't Want my interior gauge setup to be like everyone else with the a pillar or hidden in the vents. I needed them visable for performance not the sleek look. If I wanted that I would have done that.
Please look at the car for what it is. A drift car meant to perform. BUT I do agree the wood grain has got to go hahaha the black and tan interior will be done soon.

Thank you !!! It's my drift car. Finally someone notices that. My long thread about converting to drift. Remember?? This is my drift car meant to perform. But look nice not perfect. The steering wheel is the same one I used in japan drifting the skyline. I love it and it's perfect for my style drifting it's what I'm comfortable with

the gauges themselves look good with your wheel and amber dash lighting.
but, it just looks terrible with that black strip underneath, screwed into the dash, wires exposed. if you could mold them to the dash it would be a lot cleaner.
but, for quick and easy functionality, its not all bad.

I appreciate the advice. As stated the interior color is not complete I was excited that I finished the Gauge install. I know not many people like mounted gauges but I love it. Hence the reason I did it. The wood grain is going away ad swapping for black. The steering wheel is for perfemance not looks. It will look a lot differen. With the black swapped for brown and wood grain is gone. Thanks for the input. I got this image in my head and it will be sick. I agree the colors don't go but they will. Trust me lol
thanks bro yeah i love the gauges where they are! Hence the reason i did it haha. I drifted in a couple cars and LOVE the look of it and they are perfect there for monitoring them. which is the whole purpose, thakns!!
and yes the interior will be complete soon
