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

Martin - i have real SSIII seats what are laying all ove my garage - and im gonna junk them pretty soon If you want them - i can leave them for you or just take the cover out from them All i would need is just another back seat to switch my SSIII one out - and you would haev the real SSIII interior

Another thing - i have SSIII wheels - what im going to sell too - cuz at first i wanted to make them my winter beater wheels - but i desided what my Babe wount be seeing winter

Third - i think soon enouth i will have the SSIII steering wheel for sale too - custom reupholstered in black leather / black alcantara + red stiching all they way and red stiched toyota logo on the Airbag. Its totaly one of the kind - cuz im going to upgrade to MOMO steering wheel pretty soon.

And on Ebay there is a SSIII cluster what is going somthere in 120$ range - check it out

And P.S. Some one should save the money "for the big upgrade" and not blow them on small upgrades
