Thanks bro! I've been going nuts also. I can't sleep sometimes because I'm thinking the best possible way my black interior will flow with different materials. I feel that the interior is more important than the exterior because we spend more time inside our cars than out! My goal is to give everyone on CL various options with black interior. I think im almost done with the interior minus the audio upgrades. After this build I have to work on my swap, paint job, and wheels next.

Hats off for the unique interior!



And I wholeheartedly agree with this:

I've been working on a few things on the build and here's a couple teasers for you. This takes alot of patience and alot time if you wanna do it yourself. It would have cost $700 for both panel at an interior shop. Some shops I asked said they wouldn't even wanna touch it because of all the curves at the edges of the panels. I probly wasted 4yds attempting this project to make it just right!

Really good stuff man. That perforated wrapping looks spot on! I'd love to see this thing in person when it's warmer out.

^^Thanks guys! After some trials and tribulations I finally finished the passenger door panel. I also replaced the speaker cloth with some home theater speaker cloth. The material is more shimmery, exactly like Definitive Technology home theater speaker cloth. Enjoy the pics!!

Love the black! But wood grain in a sport luxury is a horrible idea. My wood grain was 1st thing i said had to go.. Just my opinion but wood grain is discusting go carbonfiber or a silver like in 97's but looking good.

I don't have wood anywhere in my car but my e-brake And that's getting the leather treatment because there are no good ones out there. Maybe you should have started reading from the begining of the thread sir

Jdmuscle - I ordered it from a friend who was stationed in Japan.
