Reinstalled the door panels. The new piano black wood trim looks great to me.

Black Dash reinstalled, also picked up new black steering column housing from dealer....Was not able to reinstall the wood trim on dash since the passengers side vent broke..I was able to pick one up late last night from local junkyard but took me all day to find a decent shape one. Will install later this week.

Better pic of rear speaker deck cover. You can also see that I got rid of the poop brown seatbelts...picked up a set of all 4 black seatbelts.

More pics will come next week as I get time to finish up.

I'm diggin' the two-tone interior. Much better than solid black, which looks very somber, IMO. I happen to be a fan of the poop brown, but your color combo gives the stock look a run for its money.

It looks like you placed the 5.25" rear deck speakers on the top edge of the 4" mounts? Does that not stick up too high for the grilles, or did you modify something else? I'm thinking I should try some bigger speakers back there if it's that easy... My newer rear deck 4's outperform my door 4's by quite a bit, so I could move them up front and put something beefier in the rear deck to capture the midrange better.

My friend is an installer at Al & Ed's Autodound and he remade some new custom brackets for the speakers..running 5 1/4" for both the rear and the front..they all fit perfect!

Here are the new brackets for the rear speakers.

Gotcha. Looked like the stock mounts in the pics. Car Toys said they could fab up some new mounts for $100 or so, but I had more urgent issues to attend to at the time.

It looks better than new car. I really like the piano black with the tan interior. That's a professional detail to the "T". You even changed out the seat belts to match the black color

Damn that looks amazing. Love the two tone interior. Very modern and upscale look like the trims you find in all 70+k sports cars now.

The headliner is tan for now..looks good for now but I may change it later depending on how it all looks in the end.
