Okie, after a lot of consideration about costs vs. want involved, I've decided I'm not satisfied with my suby's flaws as they are and want to restore it as close to showroom as possible... this means the following:

1) Floor Carpeting - Badly damaged and stained. It must be replaced... what options are there out there? Anyone find an aftermarket source? I asked a dealership for costs of new carpet and was told over $700. That's absurd for a carpet. I've got the tan carpeting... but I could be somewhat flexible if presented with another color that would match the car scheme. Any help?

2) Interior Dash Panels - Horribly scratched. Are the motorsport kits a good alternative that look VERY natural and not an obvious cover up? Has anyone successfully painted their interior? Gloss black paint would work to some degree...

3) Leather seats - Stiching in the seats has torn. Alternatives that look 200% professional and fit with the tan color scheme?

4) Door sills - Completely missing. The tan plastic sills for the botton of the door sill have broken off due to horrible planning on Subaru's behalf and using plastic clips instead of screws. Should I replace or use something else like a generic billet kit?

5) Ceiling - minor headliner stains

6) Interior lighting for button words, etc - Many of my buttons in my SVX no longer light up anymore due to blown bulbs... how can I replace these?


Anyone who can answer any of these will not only have my gratitude, but will help assist an SVX be brought back towards glory =)

Thanks everyone, this board has been wonderful since I joined in '01, and even as I lose touch from time to time I always find myself coming back for more. As soon as my SVX funding is completed I promise here and now to donate as much as I can spare to the site.
