Default interior spiffed up a bit, take a look?

Thought I would use that carbon fiber covering and see what it would do to my interior. Did that silver/aluminum trim around the speedo/tach and also on the two doors. Thoughts?


Had to repair one of the A/C vents so thought what the heck.

So:


Today not only did I do the above:


- but also installed a new set of speakers in the doors.
- replace outside air/recirc air blend door actuator
- epoxied the dash piece that generally lifts on all of these cars.
- the carbon fiber covering on the doors I did do today but I had already prepared the gauge trim from a part I got from pull a part when looking for the vent pieces.

My daily driver after 8+ hour of drive (return trip)


Nose piece needs painting but it is just a daily driver.

Impressed with the detail on the bevels around the vents.

Does the source of the carbon fiber offer other patterns? Don't hate, but was thinking about woodgrain or engine turned.

I got it from Autozone not sure all of the options as I was seeking the black carbon fiber.

I noticed blue, flat black and they probably have wood grain.

I made a few mistakes but over all I think it is an improvement over stock trim. Kind of modernized it.

Thanks
