Holy cow that is nice.

Thanks!! It was an experiment that turned out well for me. Next is the dash.

Gator and suede, all pillars wrapped, gator strip down the headliner with suede on the sides, and gator and suede wrapped glove box cover, and suede inserts on th doors. Still not tottally finished yet, as you can tell by my stock drivers seat, but I only got so much free time to work on my own stuff, haha.
Sorry for all the ghost spots I need to clean my lense.

Wow, thats a lot of work. First time I'vs seen that interior done. Very original, Nice Job!!

[SyntheticShield]

You did all that yourself?

Where do I send my seats to get refurbished?

my thoughts exactly

[s1795so2]

Thanks guys! I did all the work myself, after all it is what I do for a living besides working at best buy. Although recently I have pretty much not been doing any interior work, been fabbing up a modified frame for this f-150 I have been working on.

After I get done with that project I will offer a greatly discounted offer to forum members to reupholster their seats.

Although I don't mind taking on smaller projects right now, Like new shifter boots, door panel inserts, or any other ideas you guys have that would be a quick project you think other gp owners would want done.

its not anything great but i like simplicity....i need to get some better pics and i want a gauge bezel overlay like david has..

[GR8racingfool]

So far a lot of nice interiors, and paint jobs.

Here is some of mine...not everyones thing...but I'm currently working on another new custom dash and center console now that wont be anything anyone else will have. I will have some trim pieces to match as well. Going to be pimp.

That last pic, following the red GP with the speed up there is a great pic.

[bula81069]

Yea that pic is amazing since i am guessing that speed is correct lol. Great camera too to take that pic w/o blurring really anything

[jacobmh27]

Nice all nice

That last picture Coltrane took from inside his GP, true thats the HUD reading...and another local photoshopped the 1 out in front. It made for a great picture. I have only had my car up to 147MPH.

I missed that 172, That is a cool pic.

I have a little interior work done. Its nothing wild or crazy, just a simple yet nice looking (IMO) two-tone look. There are still a couple things I want to do with it but here are a few pics of how its looks at the moment.....

[GR8racingfool]

Thats pretty sweet, and a good color combo I think so. GM should of made that color of interior from the factory. I remember when somebody else did that years ago, when they got board, and it came out great. I think it was backinblack IIRC.

You must tell how you did all that. That is VERY nice looking. As Farns said, it should have come from the factory like that.

I like the idea of the gauges under the cowl of the hood. Where did you get that hood from and how much?

[badgtp2000]

How I did it... Door Panels - I took my stock panels, stock gray panels, busted them completely apart and basically plastic welded them back together the way I wanted them. Very easy, and not too bad time consuming

The seats - I actually took them to a shop and spent hours looking at samples to match the door panels, color and texture. They are just a little off, but has to be in the right light to tell. The two front seats were completely redone with inserts changed, and the back is just inserts. The cup holder/arm rest piece in the back I kept stock and just swapped out the actual cup holders to gray. Other things like dash trim, I took the dark brown out and replaced with gray.

A few things that can't be seen - Trim around the sunroof, thats gray....brackets for the "oh ****" handles, they are gray. Interior lights are LEDs, sets things off nice at night. There are still a couple things I want to do, but its little things I want to swap out. I could have went with fiberglassed glossy interior, but thats not the look I wanted. THIS is the look I wanted. It looks stock, but its not. And yes, I paid too much for the floor mats, all four are embroidered and edged from PYFC (a little over $200).

The Hood - This is an ASCD cowl hood, one of two that I know of on cars. I am sure there are a few more, and there are a couple of other "cowl" designs out there. As far as the ASCD, good luck finding one used, unless someone else took over ASCD. The generally sold for around $700....but I got mine CHEAP!!! $270 plus my stock from another member on club gp. This is the hood I wanted. ZZP, WBS, and Intense all 3 have or did have a cowl hood they offered, but I do believe it differed from mine. The difference was the actual design of the cowl.

Since we have gotten on a topic of hoods, I want to add a pic of my car, a better shot of the hood. Also, in this pic are my new wheels. I have had 4 sets on this car, maybe 5. But with this hood, and having the SD spoiiler, I wanted a more aggressive looking wheel, something with a nice lip on it. I succeeded (IMO)....here are a few more pics... and THANKS A BUNCH for the compliments!!

new wheels.....


better hood pics...
