Interior Mods Options

[Barbershop]

I need some ideas for modding my interior. I have converted all of my interior lights to LEDs and I am about to do the heated seats mod. I have seen many interiors on this forum and I want to see what you guys think are the "must have" interior mods for our cars?

I've been really wanting to redo my headliner. I just don't like that its tan. other than that, if you into sound, get a good system and set up in there.

I think a must have would be the steering wheel upgrade to anything other than the 4 spoke stock one.

Paint or vinyl wrap the plastic trim pieces, just do something classy though.

Id say redo the headliner and sun visors. go with a Black foam padded headliner material, should be around $6-10 per yard, and you'll need two yards minimum. Get good adhesive for the headliner if your car is a dark color (your car isn't, but i wouldn't skimp on the adhesive quality as if it fails you will have to buy new adhesive AND new material and redo all your work again...). While redoing the headliner you should also order thermal padding/shielding to put between the roof (with the stock insulation) and the headliner. Reduces the chance of your adhesive failing on a HOT summer day! For the visors you don't really have to re upholster them, you can just use black fabric paint for it. And while redoing your head liner id suggest removing all the hardware that attaches to the roof and painting it to your accent color, or black.

Then theres the steering wheel, if you want to remain legal, you can't really swap it for any "racing" steering wheels as they have no airbags. If you do swap with a racing steering wheel and you get pulled over, count on getting AT LEAST one ticket for that. But you can wrap your stock steering wheel with leather, its a fairly simple process if you don't mind taking time to measure patterns and hand stitch them onto the wheel.

to go with the steering wheel you can do your arm rest in leather and also the door card accents in leather as well.

you probably can see where I'm going with this, I'm pretty fanatical about leather... so of course leather seats. Or even better, Leather "racing" seats basically just some eBay seats will work and match any leather you put through your interior pretty well unless you're really looking at it hard.

For your gauge cluster you can order gauge pods with tinted glass which look pretty cool in my opinion.

You can also renew all your plastic trim pieces with plastidip, this allows a quick and reversible solution for faded interior plastics just be sure to clean off the pieces with TSP (trisodium phosphate) really well otherwise on misplaced click on your kick panel will peel a big chunk of plasti dip off!

Theres some other cool stuff you can do and with the interior its really just up to your own personal taste, imagination, and dedication.

Good luck!

Thanks Cheela, Box, and Noahwhite2014! I was fixing my LEDs in my A/C unit last night and I was thinking about what I could do to make my interior better. I will definitely take everyone's ideas into consideration.
