Woah..that's different..why are your controlos mounted that way? Did you move them? And how did you do that, that's tight? Cut and paste with a little bondo?

My Celica has a painted interior and console...I was thinking about doing the same later on...but I really like the "blackness" of the current interior.

That's my Celica GT-S interior...

When painting your interior, if you get it done right..it turns out fabulous.

You might want to look at g.monsen's car though..it's a perfect example of nice custom work. I don't really like the color or the control ***** (look like they're from a 70's radio) but it's an awesome looking interior when it's all put together.

Well thats MY car which by the way is a 99'' J-Spec. I did all the work by myself.

Something that is not clear is that i have sacrificed the lighter in favour of a S-2000 start button.

Please note that the interior is not finished yet. I attach one more picture for those interested. As soon as i have everything ready i will pose some more pictures.

Puke on yourself then..cuz I don't give a damn. I've gotten TONS of compliments for my interior..and that's about the flashiest thing on my car.

Of course it's your opinion..so you can keep it with your puke...

I've had my car painted for 2 years now... No probs...you have to treat it like any other paint. Wax it and buff it, and you'll have no problems.

That's also if you get it taken to a professional...
