New interior Im SO proud

jman050 · #1 08-08-2006, 04:43 PM

Well I finally fixed up my hideous interior. I tried to restore my drivers seat and steering wheel using leatherique (although i got the color custom made it was completely off). My visors drooped and my rear seats were all ripped. I installed a momo steering wheel and managed to get new escaine seats and some nice visors for cheap. I also painted my dash and got some custom floor mats to set off the black

Ummm, not that I'm complaining (I really like the steering wheel) but isn't it illegal to put a wheel in that does not have an airbag if the car came equipped with one originally?

Yes it probably is. I rewired the conector from the stock airbag to work with this airbag. I think their is a difference in voltage so it still sets off the airbag light but its not like its going to randomly blow in my face and i already passed inspection so im not worried.

Looks great!

I always prefer manual seats over leather & power - power seats don't have springs in the cushion, only foam over a bucket. Plus the fabric is more comfortable. I have never understood the leather 'upgrade', it only benefits old broads with fat butts. It keeps their skirts from twirling 180° when they enter and exit, but it doesn't help them find the seat belt buckle once they're in.

Leather is cold in the winter, hot in the summer and doesn't hold you like textiles.

Maybe its just me but i think all escaine is deff an upgrade in the looks and comfort department

Looks Porsche-esque with the black wheel.

I think if you just paint the steering column cover black you'll be good to go.

Stole the words out of my mouth!
Looks great otherwise. I like the black accents. Woulda never figured it to look that good

Good luck keeping them seats clean. I had the same ones, but they quickly turned from "Not in the best shape" to "Ew.What was I thinking"
Youll want to get ahold of a Timberland boot cleaning kit. Has a suede brush and an eraser lookin dealie. Works WONDERS on it, and makes it smell like a new shoe.
And whatever you do, dont leave a cobntainer of Arizona iced tea on the passenger seat

So We'll be seeing that interior the 12th right?

If you're trying to sell it, yes.

Good job man!
