Here is everything just laid in just for the photo. I still have to finish the other door panel and just bolt it all back together. This is just about it for the red. I may use the two leather side pieces that surround the radio and that is it. NO red carpet.

I think it looks fantastic! It's got a high end german tuner look. Sporty with some class.

I'd change out the gauge pod for a red one and the steering wheel for a three spoke version and then leave it alone.

You need to do the Carrera cluster swap too.

Well this is it for now. The carrera cluster maybe soon. I would love the 3 spoke but mine works for now. I Like that the cluster is black. :O

It looks awesome!!! And now it matches your lawn mower!!! :dance:

The red/black contrast is much more interesting than black-on-black. Good decision to use the black carpeting in the door panels. I think you struck the right balance.

Somebody was selling red seats on this forum last week ... I'd be tempted to put them in too for the final touch. The three-spoke wheels are an upgrade, but overly $$$$!!

Nice work JAAY. I was initially skeptical but it looks good. The one part I'm unsure about is red leather surrounding the center console. But it's your car and that's a relatively minor feature.

I agree, I think I'd change the console sides back to black.

LOL I was thinking the same thing about it matching your lawnmower.

I like the carbon fiber console!

I was going to put my black lawn mower in this photo but it was too much work. LOL
Here ya go. I can't decide with the red or the black?

MUCH BETTER. The red on the console just looked out of place. The black sides cleaned up the look dramatically.

Nice, very nice indeed! Now, just break out the vacuum.
