Hey I want to see anyones custom interior job. I wanna know the limitations to interior.

I was thinking about putting a newer style interior in my 7 but I wouldn't know where to start or how much it would cost.

Mines not really a "custom" job, as in nothing has really been too modified, just a few guages etc, but I've had all the dash and plastic parts re-trimmed to give it a smoother more solid look.

WAS:12A, that looks really slick. Did you also do that to any of the rear trim or storage bin covers?

Prevents hydraulic pressure from being applied to the rear brakes. Mainly for burnouts and for better launches at the drag strip.

My car is "Aussie spec" so we got the rear seats instead of the storage bins.

My rear seat area has been re-trimmed and has a JBL 12 inch sub tube strapped to it, with the stereo system in the hatch area...the seats are too small to fit anyone in there anyway, I'm 5'10 and with my seat adjusted to my driving position, you can't fit anyone in the rear seats....would of been easier if we got the storage bins.

The hatch area has a cradle built in there to hold the sunroof when its been removed, it sits over the stereo system.

With the Mariah Motorsports rear hatch their isn't much room back there anymore...(and yeah I know my rear splits are running in "free air" style, they work perfect in the small area they have when the hatch is closed )

Awesome interior, WAS:12A, looks really clean and well done. I was wondering if you could post a shot of the exterior, I gotta see what that hatch looks like outside the car.

My 80:







Custom upholstery over later-series seats, electric window retrofit, and I thought the guages turned out nicely. The shift boot and brake lever boot are hand-sewn leather, in need of some oil. There's a (pre-GPS) LCD electronic compass above the mirror, too, not visible in picture.

Cmdpapichulo: Your question has already been answered in your other thread. Posting questions in other people's thread is called hijacking and is frowned upon. If you have a question about something, then start a new thread..but don't start multiple threads on the same thing.

Thanks.
