Steering wheel change completed and cleaned and shined to match the rest. This Rav4 wheel and the OEM 98-99 wheel are the only ones that look right to me due to the texture differences of some of the newer wheels [Thanks to Zero for finding this for me and the great price!]:

Ands an older one showing the old wheel and my patented SRS Audio-video setup :

My new Toyota Hyper Sports ST-202 floor mats should be here today and I'm ordering black carpet tomorrow and having my headliner redone in black velvet. The final two items for the interior will be to add black velvet over the door card arm pads and the SS-III black seats with red splash on them.

new trd shift knob...

Damn that white shift boot is the sh*t. I see you manipulated the color in some way - does it really match that well in person?
Huge props on such a unique look.
Edit - Hey! Your knob has silver lettering - mine looks gold and I don't like it.

didn't manipulate the color or anything... that's a raw cell phone pic. the color difference between the boot and the surrounding plastics is unnoticeable if you aren't looking for it.

EDIT: i have an extra white with black shift boot, for regular shifter if anybody wants to throw an offer at it.

Oh sorry - it was probably all the white throwing the camera a little like those old movies you know? With the soft lenses or w/e.
Anyway - looks killer and props for originality.

Edit: Got my new Toyota Hyper Sports Floor Mats from Darthripley [Thanks girl!]!!!!!!!
Came with an extra DS [Our PS side] and they are MINT! Even the tags are still in perfect shape.





They cover much more square footage than the stock mats which consequently means they cover all the little stains in the carpet that accumulate around the stock floor mats. The back ones fit perfect and cover completely all the ground back there. The front ones are backwars from LHD so while the DS side covers all of the floor I'll either have to remove the footrest or take it off and reattach over the mat [Which will help to hold it down since these don't work with our little hook at all] - it even goes up under the trunk and fuel door releases. The PS side one covers everything except it has the cutouts where the pedals and footrest go but I don't mind - they don't look bad IMO.
The best part about them, aside from the rarity, is that they have extra padding from the stock ones and are really comfortable and also the grey pad that goes under your heals so that they don't get the traditional holes all our stock mats have under the heal of your accelerator foot.
So much more than pleased on this buy [Now if my WRC Hood Spoiler would hurry up and get here I'd be a happy happy man]

So: Black Velvet Headliner, Black Velvet Padding on the door thingies and new black carpet will complete my interior transformation.

those look really nice - glad to hear that the plush is thicker too - plushy comfy floormats are awesome to have
i have found that most JDM Toyota floor mats have a much thicker plush than the US mats - not sure why but they seem generally nicer to me anyways.
the front mats being "backwards" doesn't bother me in the R2 either - it was better than what we had which was nothing at all.
the back mats fit perfectly which is great.

on your headliner & door cards you could always use a material called Ultrasuede. it's basically a cotton fabric that looks & feels just like suede but is really affordable. we used it on R2's door cards. not that there's anything wrong with velvet, but sometimes it can just be a bit too glossy looking whereas the ultrasuede is more of a matte finish if that makes sense.
we picked it up at a decorator fabric store where interior designers go for pretty cheap as a remnant. sometimes the remnants they have at those places can be 4 to 6 feet long & bigger plus its a lot cheaper than having so many yards cut off since they are just remnants to the store.

btw that RAV4 steering wheel looks nice - the texture is a perfect fit to the interior.

What's wrong with the CD player? I kinda dig on that color scheme.

Holy gauges batman!

^ whats with the 2 hazard buttons?

DEATH - your missing one of the floor matts. It's the one that connects the 2 rear (goes over the hump), you can see the 2 snaps on each rear where it connects. I got a set a while back but I tossed the fronts because they didn't really match and the stock fronts are ace IMO. I'll take a pic of my rear matts after the weekend.

WRC hood spoiler ? all UK 6 gens have a hood spoiler FYI.

Death has the most cluttered cockpit EVER!!!!!

well somemore green. testing out my new tripod. night shots w/o the shaky blurr from free hand shooting FTW!!!

That's a little insurance policy is all. Nevermind that


I don't know where I hear all this information from but evidently people play things up. Regardless I have holes predrilled in my hood that I feel need filling. I fully expect to not like the look in which case this may become an expensive wall garage wall decoration. However, it's worth it to me and my strange sensibilities to own a factory black one just because.

It is from a WRC

Both is correct

- all 6gen celicas for European market (ST, GT, GT-four) have hood spoiler from stock
- In Japan only GT-four WRC edition has it (plus OZ models of course )

I know. I'm just saying the one that Death has bought is from a WRC.

the hyper hump carpet

Oh well damn - the search continues then If anybody has one of these or sees one for a decent price LMK. I'm totally a completist like that.
Thanks for all the info guys.
Manphibian - even better. So I can still call it a WRC spoiler and not be a poser

EDIT:

I just realised this may have looked as if I was saying Manphibian played this spoiler up to be a WRC spoiler [Which evidently it is]. But until this came up he never mentioned it that I can remember. Just thought I'd make it clear I was not talking about him - Manphibian is totally above board when you deal with him.
Thanks again bro - I'm hoping it comes in today.

I was wondering if ST202's had that center carpet piece - so sorry that was missing DEATH.
If I come across one consider it yours

Batman, your rear mats are slightly different comparing pics - yours have 2 snaps vs. DEATH's having 1 snap.
are your mats grey in color?

mine are black but it was dark in the garage at the time and the flash was on. My rears are very big, almost too big. They really cover the back floor.

just put this in this morning , still got to remove some stickers, but I'm keeping the part number on it
