Talking Interior Conversion

I want to convert my 3rd gen rx7's interior similar to what i saw on ebay a while ago... i found this guy on ebay from vancover selling a 94 rx7... it was in a car show... it was all yellow and had a nice interior, half black and half yellow. i want to do the same thing, and i found some of the yellow components at www.sparcousa.com... any hints on how i can convert the leather "jacket" around the gear shifter to yellow?

Sorry to whoever.. but that car looks like a mess. The color scheme thing didn't seem to work out too well either. Blah!

Go here for some accessories:

If you want to change the shift boot, it's easy to remove. Just pull up the center panal and unscrew it. You might have some work to do with fitment but if you want to replace it, it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

THATS MY CAR!!!! LOL!!! Crunchy frog, it seems you were at the Import Revolution show.... it looks good... that flash just made everything really bright so it looks really ricey, the little toys, like the little R/C car was just put there cause i was bored and i would play with it on the roof of my car. Other than that, you guys know what an FD interior looks like, i didnt have any kinda interior dressing so it looks really dull and white... but it looks good. I dont think i crossed the rice line at all. I made the shift boot and Ebrake boot myself, and the cloth matches my sparco seats. Those arent over done, if there was a better pic i can find ill post it, but it looks fine.... LOL thats soo kool that you were there hehe, did you see me?

Yeah, I saw you playing w/ the little R/C car on your roof...I hope you didn't scratch the paint. I've got some other pics of the interior as well. Yeah, the flash made everything pretty bright.

Here's one of the seats. did you have to custom fabricate seat rails? I wanted to look and sit in you car to see if I fit any better w/ racing seats...but i didn't want to be a bother. I was the white guy w/ a white LFE t-shirt and a sony digital camera.

hahahaha.....

Huy, looks like no-one likes the smurf appeal!

in huy's defense, ive seen the car several times and it is very clean and well done. the color blue he chose matches very well with the rest of the car. its more of an electric blue than baby blue at all.

post an engine shot - maybe thatll give them a better idea of the color Huy.....

I think the blue would look pretty nice minus the flash, more interesting at least than the stock color scheme.
