just my opinion....
just my opinion and they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. my father use to compete in hot rod shows back home and some of the best interiors i ever seen have been in hot rods. simple with clean lines is a lot of the times best.
I think the car looks quite smart and i like what you have done externally but there's areas of the interior i don't like - personal taste thing.
by all means delete this post if you feel its not constructive but as stated its only my opinion.
i like the speakers in the doors, it suits it ( i might have coloured them dark though) but i think the ones in the kick panels look over the top. I would remove these if it was mine.
the tweeters in the b pillars i would either redesign or change the colouring. they stand out too much. i would change the b pillars to all black colouring and would blend it in further into the b pillar to look like it was meant to be there instead of a stick on look.
i would change the colouring of the glove box to be the same as the dash so it doesnt stand out. a lot of Jap show cars do what you have done, i don't know why. i think symmetry is best and when glancing over the dash i pefer not to be interupted with the view.
I just think aftermarket interiors especially when two toning go over the top and two tone too much
i would remove the turbo timer or boost controller (what ever that is where the ash tray is supposed to be) as again it interupts the view and stands out. I would put the ash tray back in and hide the turbo timer/boost controller - its a set and forget item if you ask me.
i would change the rocker switch located under the light dimmer switch as again it just stands out - get a black one
i would remove the sliding heater controls and install the touch button ones out of a widebody - looks more modern.
if your going to keep the cluster i would paint the chrome ring black on the boost gauge or change it to a black one in the centre of the cluster - again it stands out which make it look like an after thought OR i would install the original and recalibrate it to what ever boost you are going to be running - that would look good
I think its a nice car and hope to see it in the flesh one day.
At the end of the day mate the only person you have to please is yourself and as ive said earlier its just my opinion and taste.
All the best and well done

I sort of agree with starion4me.
I too think it is over the top. Personally, I like the seats and center console, and the install, but besides that, I think it could have been done better. But if thats your style, great. :beer
Personally my favourite staz interior is this one.
Basically because it is simple, yet effective

Re: just my opinion....
I hear what your saying the door speakers have to go i'm replaceing them with a 7 inch focal speaker much better sound coming from france the kick panels are staying though there is not much room in the kick panels with a focal utopia 4 inch speaker with a massive magnet.starion4me wrote:just my opinion and they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. my father use to compete in hot rod shows back home and some of the best interiors i ever seen have been in hot rods. simple with clean lines is a lot of the times best.

The tweeter pods i don't like them 100% they need to be on a little bit different axcess but i wanted them to stand out being $1,600 tweeters.
i went two tone so it would stand out i think it does that and the mustard leather was $950 per hide i have almost 8 hides of leather in there i would of love to go all musted but the charcol grey was 1/2 the price.
I also hate the turbo timer needs to be changed or hiden.
Rocket switch good idea.
The heater and a/c controller excellent idea i look for one can i have a picture please. But those controls and all of the vents came out of a jb wreck i bought this car basicly for those controllers thinking their was nothing else before i new what a widebody was.
Good point about the boost controller thaks for your help see woody Jas has constructive critisisim not crap thanks Jas
