Absolutely, I'd love to see your interior. I've seen the Gemballa pics but, they're a bit over the top. Way to much yellow in the interior. I don't want to go blind getting in my car.

Just get a painted center console,color matched seats belts,aluminum rings for the instrument cluster and your good to go. If you have the base shift knob and handbrake then perhaps you can call a junk yard to see if they have any option combo handbrake and shift knobs for sale.

Some of this interior stuff is too much IMHO. I did the same as you sprucing up the interior with painted parts and such and it ended be too much for my own taste.

Besides,why in the world would you spend near $2k on your interior?

Hi blinkwatt:

My reason for doing so is because I think it looks nice. I occasionally see pictures of beautiful cars with custom modified exteriors, then you catch a glimpse of the interior and it looks worse than my 10 year old Jeep.

I think a balance is nice for a complete package. I've added a lot of CF to my interior, and have more that I hope to install this weekend. I have no plans to get rid of my car anytime soon. If I change my mind I can always put the original pieces back in and sale the CF for a nice chunk of change.

as soon as I get my car back from the shop next week I'll post em! I just did the whole center console the key ring and all the vents (few other little things I cant remember) so you can determine if you'd like to pait more or not. I personaly wouldn't paint more.

as for cost I dont rember the number but it was really quite cheap as long as you dont mind removing the peices yourself
