**kpeng: Interior Modding on a Budget**

kpeng · 01-15-2008, 04:30 PM

Cleaned up the interior and took a couple shots today. I redid the suede trim a couple days ago, with some better stuff I found at www.fashionfabricsclub.com for $6.95 a yard. Paul @ Euro-Spec also hooked me up with a sexy CF shift knob to replace my ghetto silver one that was not attached properly.

Well, here it is. Amazing what some free pedals, a red sharpie, CF shift knob from Euro-Spec, 2 bottles of Duplicolor Vinyl Dye, and some suede from fashionfabricsclub.com will do.

Oh, and here's a pic of my work-in-progress trunk. I went for a clean and simple design, that's still functional so I can put groceries and sometimes my bowling ball in the trunk.

Looks Awesome!!! Very clean setup!

Skazzy · 01-15-2008, 04:37 PM

cuh leeen! Did you redo the suede trim all by yourself? It seems like quite a mission. Came out pretty neat. All you need is sport seats and an M3 steering to finish off your interior.

Thanks guys!

Yeah, the suede trim was redone by myself and a buddy of mine to expedite the process. I'm searching for an M3 steering wheel. I thought I had a deal with JeuprxE46 or whatever his name is but the guy disappeared off the face of the earth. Oh well.
