Well this is the point where you love it or hate it, or just dont care, but I worked hard on it and it is kool when your sitting in the car even on the floor it feels like the car is just wraped around you, kinda like sitting in a viper or a car that cost far more than this car will ever be worth, neabors come over and just drop thier mouths wide open. So tell me what you think good or bad it doesnt matter, I love it.
 
Oh and carpet is not finnished LOL just sat bottom seat in to get a gander at it, it still needs to be trimed.

Ok here is the low down on aftermarket carpet, the same that aplies to bumpers and all the other parts made outside of oem, it is a pain in the but to get it to work but I did it. I did a lot of ironing, a lot of it will work itself out over time. I got the carpet trimed and finalized all the trim is put in the last thing in the inside is the passenger side door panel and the gas and hatch lever cover , which I forgot to put in, LOL.
 
Got the visors put in so the headliner is complete.

Ya know thank you guys, I have this blog going on a local forum here in houston, and it seem we have haters in our town, its ok to say you dont like it, but when you try and insult it you make yourself look stupid, aguy at one of my customers shops ask me how much I had invested, I told him, and he says hope it doesnt blow up on the dyno, I looked at him and called him out for the hater he is, and he got luaghed at by the whole shop, its like if you cant afford to do it dont put it down, if you dont like it state your op, then let it be. Here is his message.

i think you did the wrong pieces of the interior red.

had you done the lower dash pieces that flow into the center console i would have been an accent and looked alot better than that center console which screams LOOK AT ME AND WHAT I DID!

similar to how the 2 tone GTO interiors are.

its an accent vs the whole thing being red. with interior colors like that you have to use them sparingly to make it look good. and yes i think the full red GTO seats arent a little overboard as well

Window got replaced, I will plug those wholes later today.
 
Damn this thing is coming along nicely :) Deffinently love the fact your makin it your own and bacicly throwin those 2 fingers in the air at them knowing that their jealous of such a beautiful build. Deffinently one of the best examples of a DSM tuner. Makin this thing your own. Can't wait to see this thing completed!!!!
 
Ye I am, some dont like it some do but I am doing it for me, and my babies love it, and my neabors come over everyday to see it and to bring thier friends, so its a show stoper.
 
I had slacked off for a while, after I let a few guys on another forum get to me about my interior choices. I did not want to work on my car, feeling that perhaps I had done what I mosy despised, Made a fast and the furios replica. Sheeeeesh, that through me in a tailspin. My wife looked at me and asked me what was the problem, and I explained the whole situation. She then read through the thread and came back with her op, and it states, " Why the hell are you woried about what someone else thinks, you are in that garage everyday sweating working on that thing. There is nothing wrong with what you have done. It is difrent, but how many peaple have to come over and drool over what you have done, besides from what I have read those guys are going out of thier way to insult you, and its the same guys, so you should know thier jealous, chill and do your thang boo".
So I have started again. My friend sent me some pics, to help with the overwhelming red int. I was going to paint the car black, but as he explained, the powdercoated engen bay would be lost. So here is his suggestions.
