Cutrara's Interior, Update: 12/26/08 Options

[Cutrara]

Haven't really been posting much the last year or two, so I thought I'd post a couple of pics to show what I've done recently.

Black Aftermarket Leather with blue top stitching (installed by me) and seat heaters (which are installed under the leather but are not wired yet... I need a drill to put in the switches and I haven't been to my parents house in a few weeks.) I used a heat gun to stretch out most of the wrinkles.











7th Gen Short shifter and TRD Knob (also got a black leather boot with blue stitching)


Theres also a USB port in the shifter surround for plugging in flash drives full of music, ipods, portable HDs, etc.


Black Leather Armrest cover with black stitching


Black Reverse Glow gauges with real CF Bezel


CarPC




















I painted the rear-view mirror and map light plastic black. I'm going to be redoing the headliner in black as well. I'm working to update and black out the whole interior. Brand new OEM floormats are on the way. I'm going to get the windows tinted and get an amp and some subs... I'm thinking either a single 10" or 2 10"s because I need room in my trunk.

Nice job bro - how bad was the replacement seat covers to install? Did you get them from that company in Houston? If so - what is the address so I can go talk to them about a GB for the rest of us? Please hook us up man
Your interior looks really nice all done like that. I painted my rearview mirror and sunroof controls too. Used that plastic paint from walmart - works great Fusions I think it was called?

The seat covers weren't that bad, although make sure you have money set aside after you buy the covers. Mine needed an extra couple stretchers and to get the plastic pieces transfered over to the leather covers. I took it to a local auto upholstery shop and got hit up for another $70. I got them on eBay from "leather-seat". I don't have the address. My map lights are scratched because I didn't use clear coat, but I used fusion too, it works pretty good.

The thing in place of the lighter is a griffin powermate. It's a programmable USB wheel that I use to scroll through music, etc. It is broken ATM.

Sick car. Interior looks mad nice, not sure on the computer deal, but that's up to you...Gauges look sweet too.

Brand New OEM Floormats:





Over winter break I plan on installing automotive carpet padding under my stock carpet to absorb road noise (it's bad) or even under new carpeting. I also want to dynamat the trunk (for subs) and the doors (so they don't rattle and so they will close with a nice THUD).

Got these in the mail today, A pair of Alpine Type S components with crossovers and tweeters. Can't wait to install them, I currently have Pioneer 3-ways up front and STOCKERS in the rear. The new Alpines are going up front and the Pioneers are going in the back but I eventually want to replace them with Alpines.

What do you mean bottom out easy? Like they dont have enough travel when they hit? Thought they were some decent speakers...

Car PC is all custom built, Mini-ATX motherboard, M1-ATX PSU, 512MB RAM (just replaced yesterday... was getting blue screens on resume from hibernate!), 120GB laptop hard drive all in the "Ampie" style case. Before the end of the year I'm going all carpc, no headunit. I'm gonna get rid of the motorized touchscreen (it sucks, some gears are broken so it needs help up and down, and it makes some awful grinding noises) and the crappy "Farenheit" Headunit (seriously, wtf... i've never even heard of that brand before I bought it, and they didn't even spell fahrenheit right. Plus, it's pretty ****ty as far as SQ goes) and replace it with a 7" touchscreen molded in. Buying a 4-channel Alpine Amp here pretty soon for the speakers.

Installed the Speakers and tweeters today... just reused my speaker adapters from my previous aftermarket spearkers... no pics of that (thats basic stuff) here's some pics of what I decided to do with the tweeter:
