Just another car tread topic... volume II., now interior one... Options

[malpaso]

This is my second "car tread topic" (first exterior here), now about my interior changes... My second thanks for yours posted comments. Enjoy

Two and half year old pictures of pure stock interior.


First change were new SONY CD player,...


...sport pedals...


...and window tint.


Then long, long way to current gauges look


I have always tried illuminate everything in combination blue/red (because glow gauges and CD player has red illumination too)...


...to harmonize whole look.


My first idea was make replica of SS-III interior (same like exterior is). Unfortunately that would be unreasonably expensive (seats, climates, gauges, red stitched everything... see this), so I decided make small compromise: complete black leather style interior... first result was leather steering wheel cover,...


...clear door light cover...


...and branded door sills. I know not celica ones... (but still looks good ).


Now one "future" plan. Genuine black stitched leather SRS steering wheel (just leather cover no more) and genuine black stitched leather shift knob... both coming really soon (btw they are from MR2, so if anyone incensed at Curren door sills must be enraged now for sure )


That all so far

edit: future is now again cuz new st. wheel is installed

Love your upgrades.
Don't forget to change those brown floormats.

...and no more brown floormats . Now Celica branded genuine ones:


And another mods coming...

edit II:
...like another gauges and DCW gauge pods...




...and gauge cluster illumination change no.5:




And it seems like finish line to me... so far

Excellent organization of the thread. I relly like the way you put it together. I'd like to do a diary of the total build of my car. I have kept pictures of all phases organized pretty well from stock to restored to modded. [3 year process - 1st year was just maintenance that wasn't done by the original owner. Last 2 - 2 1/2 years has been modding].
Three problems with this:
1. I'm by no means done with the car
2. I don't think I could organize it as well as this thread
3. Who would care besides me anyway?

BTW - do they make those door sills that just say Celica? And do they go over the stock plastic ones or replace?

Edit - Just noticed your stock radio/dash trim has a different cut around the radio with a different pocket then mine and others I've seen. You were actually able to use the trim that comes with the radio [around it] - Nice.
