Talking My Interior - Original Cloth, SC430 Steering Wheel, LED Cluster
I know I posted quite a lot of pictures of my car's build over the year but never really posted pictures of my interior. Here goes:









My car is 20 years old and has 212k miles on the clock now. Almost everything is original (besides the cluster, climate, and the SC430 steering wheel) and it is showing its age as many of panels have minor cracks and rattles.

Man, if only I can keep my tan interior that clean, I wouldn't want to swap to a black interior so bad... Very nice. Your SC has been an inspiration for me to get Shine Auto Project body kit btw.

Trust me, tan is a hell of alot easier to keep clean than black. The only plus side to black is it won't show stains as much as light color interior.

Get yourself some APC or an interior shampoo product (not that greasy Walmart crap), clean the panels with a MF towel and brush, do the carpets and seats in similar fashion, and it will look much better if not like new. Get some leatherique if the leather is really bad.

I have no problem detailing it. Last time I detailed my interior it looked super hella clean, no exaggeration, but it looked factory new to me. The tan really popped out. My problem is, maintaining it. The cleanliness of it went away in a couple months and looked right back to where I started.

The seats make the interior look more "plush". I think that is something the interiors of today have gone away from as they become more robotic and space age, they lose what can only be described as a plush and inviting interior. Comfy. I like the steering wheel too! Mmmmmmm waterfalls. Nothing wrong with this one, snazzy ride!

Although cloth seats aren't as luxurious, looks comfy nonetheless. Clean setup.

Very nice car overall, Jerry! I like the interior. Cloth seats look good to me. It has the softer and smoother feel than leather seats. For driving on a long distance, cloth seats will be comfortable. I like the cluster, too.
