    I bought my GP in bad condition. Currently the headliner sags and is ripped, passenger side dashboard(air bag area) has the color fading, and the door panels are loose, as in when i shut the door i can see the top part of the door panel slap against the door. Anyone have any ideas as to make the interior look less like a plastic nightmare, and more like an acceptable sports sedan?

    Buy a Cadillac.


    Haha jk, but mine looked OK, better once cleaned up. Use spray adhesive for the headliner and get some new clips for the door planels. AND make it shine like a mother****er. And if you got cloth get covers, if leather, wipe em down good. Vacuum all the creases and use window cleaner inside AND out. (I use the industrial GM stuff...)

    Wellll, you could always wrap the dash in leather/suede, and make it look hella nice.
