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

To azian_advanced: It's exactly as DSRT-FX described in his post Gerald.
p.s.: Thank's for help Rom, I would never find proper words for that

To celiracer: I just removed those green condoms off bulbs and painted numbers on cluster with red

To doGGy: Don't forget Romas, my budget was ready for more expensive project than "big upgrade" is . I can spend a little . About those parts, hope some of them will stay in your garage (and also some Euros in my budget ) till we meet

To snapshotgt: Don't be afraid Collin. I use my current airbag make it complete and will be installed in my friend's celica (after some bonus in CZK for me of course ). That silver celica in last two pictures from first post here.

To Negative: Of course they made "CELICA" sills...

...but price is double or even triple (e-bay experience) + you must be lucky find them.
p.s.: please, please, please respond my last PM, thanks
