don't cover the leather with vynil!!

thats like covering oak floor with carpeting.

the painted plastic looks good tho, and like Kevin said, I don't normally go for that sorta thing.  Well done

That looks good.  I have a custom interior planned and partially started for my car.  Like nothing I've ever seen before, but not wild and out there, should be really classy.  I'm keeping it a surprise though   :D

But yeah, thinking about maybe building some pieces for sale if it turns out well and people like it.  

And yeah, I agree with John, leather is sweet, don't be covering that.  My other pet peeve with that is people who spend a bunch of money for the leather option package then buy cheesy ill fitting seat covers and sit on those for 5 years so that when they sell they'll get good resale...  :roll:

If I've got leather, you betcha I'm going to enjoy it, and as for the resale if you treat it right it'll look great for years, anyone who doubts that can take a look inside my 93 talon.

I love the black/tan interior.  I really do.

That is what I eventually want in my car.  The car that Lowell brought to Cypress was ideal.

I like the tan/black interior, although I'm pretty biased. I just like how clean it looks when washed up.

I hate my black/tan interior.  They're colors that just don't match IMO.  I wouldn't really do anything about it for a while though.  That's too much money that could be going to make the car faster :twisted:
