Default Some New mods, New wheels and Interior

Hello yall,, I havent been on here in a while but I have a done a few upgrades to my car. First was a set of 97 850R wheels, Blacked out the hood and just this weekend I started to convert my interior to Charcoal from Tan... My tan Interior was pretty beat and made the car look old. I found a set of front seats from a 2000 V70 and the other parts have been from Various parts cars. So far on the interior I have spent a total of 80 Bux.. NOW I just need to do something about the Dash,Center Console and Carpet...Check out the pics below

AAAWWWWWW MAN [sm=icon_rock.gif][sm=loveeyes.gif][sm=signs007.gif][sm=smokin.gif]

Actually, I kind of like the two tone.

My drivers seat back stopped responding today after work (1600hrs) and it took about ten minutes to get it back into position by holding the seat back forward, really hard, and flicking the seat back button. Noooooot a hole lot of fun.

And now I see your changeand I really want to fix mine. And the seat heater as well.

Youve done a fine job my man.

Tech, my friend, I have indeed.[sm=smiley20.gif]

Actually, I was just looking for it again, to tag,as I should have last year when I found it and thought, Naw, its just the switch being touchy. Which reminds me. I will have to find a replacement for that as well. Always something to play with on The Anvil

Well, it really doesnt make a difference what it looks like, I got to fix it and if Im going to have the seat out I may as well replace the heater, which is something I do need to find. Any ideas?

Thanks I love the Dark interior way better.. Makes the car feel newer!! I just picked up a Charcoal Center console today and a charcoal glove box door... Its coming along !!! I think a carpet will really set it off.Anyone know where I can get a new carpet ?? . Im not sure what Im going to do about the lower dash.

Sorry no on the carpet I am looking for one as well. Mine needs one due to being torn. For the dash you would need an entire dashboard to convert.
