living Up the Interior

Hey everyone, I wanted to do alittle bit more to my car for the year before its time to store it so i though an easy project could be to "livin" up the stock interior in my 95 camaro. Ive been thinking to wrap some of pieces in black carbon fiber vinyl, paint some a dark metallic green like the outside (check out my garage for those pics), and then some larger parts that are a pain to remove and reinstall I would leave the stock ebony, charcoal color. Any input on what parts people think would be the easiest to work with, or would look the best I'd definately like to hear.

Re: living Up the Interior

For the love of the F-bodfather, please don't paint your A/C vents. I have seen this done hundreds of times over the last decade and it always looks terrible. Only use color to accent things you want people to look at. In the case of the 4th gen, you don't want anybody looking at anything but your:

seats and door panel fabric
carpet
shift ****
shift boot if it's a manual
gauges
steering wheel (if you're willing to pay the $300+ to get it professionally rewrapped in leather)

Everything else looks trashy.




If I had your car, I'd get some green gauges from 6litereater, a green anodized shift **** and call it done. Don't paint your interior pieces, you'll regret it and people will only compliment it like a bad haircut. Sorry, but that's the truth.

Re: living Up the Interior

Sad to say it but Brangeta's right I painted my interior pieces and I regret it. It's cool when you first do it cause youre tired of lookin at the same ole stock interior but that moment passes and you realize it looks real cheesy.

Re: living Up the Interior

Thank you both of you for finally giving me some feedback. By no means was I gonna repaint the whole interior green, and yes I agree that the painted vents looks ridiculous. I was thinking of just repainting, painting the scratched and "faded" pieces of the interior. My thought was that it would added a cleaner look to the interior, but that might just be my perception. My interior just looks like it needs something. I was thinking of some two-tone custom ordered seat covers, but thought painting some pieces might be a bit of a smart and smaller start rather then start big and realize its not right.

Re: living Up the Interior

One thing I ended up doing to give the interior a different look was using interior paint and paint it black, instead of the stock charcoal. For the dash piece that covers the cluster I sanded that smooth and painted that a glossy black, that's one thing I did that stands out without doing too much also just my opinion but black seat covers with green stitching is a subtle accent that would flow good along with a black carpet, I bought mine for $110 and trimmed it to fit that was about 7 years ago but it still looks good. Just throwin ideas out there...

Re: living Up the Interior

Looking at the pix in your garage I think the inside of your car is very clean from what I car see. A lil green in the car would be ok but as your car sits bro it looks good!!!

Re: living Up the Interior

ok where is this green car??? i think im color blind but i see a red car with red painted ac vents and stuff... how would green in any way shape or form go good with a red car. i say a red car deserves red carpet and red on the middle part of the seats and maybe red leather on the door piece
