My 93 interior re-done
When I first got the car the interior seemed shot due to neglect. I went through the whole thing and put new seats,wheel,custom made a guage pod and fixed the door handles. Now it looks great.
Old
New
Seats are corbeaus, wheel is a momo carbon 350mm(PERFECT GUAGE VIEW) and the plastics were redone in truck bedliner spray..looks OEM.

I did the center guage mod myself. It took a very long time to do it. I had to mold/epoxy plastic in sand it smooth..drill two holes in, some more molding and then I painted it with the bedliner stuff..it looks/feels just like a 94+ interior. So then I did all the door/console panels with that paint and it all looks great.

Too each his own. I wanted alot of power and reliability. Ive only owned v8's for the most part..and with the reliability and low cost of parts for the LSx engine and awsome power output it produces(the car will end up lighter at the end)..it was the only way to go.

If you think that is neglect, wait til I post the pics of my FD I bought and its interior. Its away for the winter, but spring time will be another story.
Anyways, at least get a different color boot for the shift light. black or gray? I like the Momo wheel. I had one almost exactly like it on my Eclipse. It for sure looks a lot better.

And to the corvette comment.. Vettes are too expensive and rx7s are two unreliable...so I got the best of both worlds.
theres the pic of the back..im gonna do a small write up on the whole build for anyone whos interested..and ill be getting the car corner weighted as soon as I get the chance.

That looks real good.
I'm currently restoring my interior as well. And pretty much an identical setup to your own is going back in save the fabricated gauge pod. I'll probably just go for the dual pod on the pillar or the center-chan speaker pod.
Spent what felt like an eon on the center console with epoxy and sandpaper.
I ended up using SEM Vinyl Dye.
I saw bed-liner spray alongside the more common types like Dupont Krylon and Dupli-color paints.
I can't get to photobucket right now (at work) but I'll throw some pics up when I get home to see how the two differ. I like yours better though. Just looks like it would feel better. Not sure why.
I still have a massive amount of things left I need to fix. I had to repair the lid for the map case and the driver's side door trim was horribly chipped in many places. I just purchased the FD and she's in a lot of pain on the outside and inside.
I mean... I found a satellite TV remote behind the door panel. It was locked from sliding by dirt. I don't want to know how it got there, but I know how it got out of there. And it wasn't fun.
