Default My (for now) finished interior
Here's a quick look at my interior since I made a few changes. No plans at the moment to do anything else inside the car, but I make no promises, haha.

Notable add-ons:

Pioneer AVH-P3200BT Head Unit
w/ steering wheel control adaptor
Black w/ black stitching Clazzio seat covers
Interior panels painted w/ Scion silver streak mica paint
Zeta leather top armrest

Crutchfield. Here's the one I bought:

They have two of them there, but not only did I see better reviews for this one, but when I brought to the shop who did the install, the guy thanked me for buying the good one.

Little pricey for what it is, but it works perfectly.

Haha, glad I can help make dreams come true. I should specify that the one I was talking about and have linked is specific to Pioneer HU's, but from I saw there are ones for most of the major manufacturers.

hey real nice job. im looking to paint my interior panels as well. did you do this yourself? if so could you help me out and tell me how the process goes? was there primer and a top coat applied? i plan on using the matching barcelona red for mine. it looks like yours came out extremely well. im hoping to have the same results.

I had originally planned to do it myself, but ended up having my mechanic/body man do it. I changed my mind not so much because I thought the actually painting process would be too tough, but more so because it was going to be a big PIA for me to have certain panels off for periods of time because it wasn't feasible to do it all at once. That being said, a friend of mine who did hers herself sent me a good guide for the process. Check your PM, I'm sending it to you now.

Oh wow, sorry for the late reply...haven't been on in a minute. I like it and I don't like it. It looks nice and I like having a center storage area since I've had it in pretty much any other car I've had. What I don't like: Despite a simple install, it somehow leans ever-so-slightly to the right and rubs the seat which wouldn't be a problem except with the leather seat covers it makes an annoying leather-on-leather noise when I hit bumps. Other than that, I just get the impression that the inside was cheaply made. I already had to superglue the coin tray back in....it broke off and I don't even know how. All in all it's still pretty much the nicest one you can get for our cars, but I'd look at eBay to try to find the best price possible if you're interested in one.
