My Winter Apperance Plan

Just thought I would share it with everyone before I dive into it in the upcoming weeks while its freezing outside!

The Plan:
To create a race bread appearance inside my 1995 Z28 Camaro to match the exterior.

Many modern Import & Exotic sport cars are using extensive and well placed pieces of carbon fiber to build a contrasting interior which is very appealing to me. I think that stock F-body interiors leave a lot to be desired but can be easily fixed when certain items that are well placed and tasteful. I know these cars were originally designed to be obtainable to the average Joe, but I am a huge fan of true coupe interiors similar to the Corvette. I have no desire to transport passengers and this is my weekend fun toy so it should be used & designed as such.

Right now my interior is still pretty stock appearing with the only interior modifications being a head-unit, white shift knob, 2x racing seats, no rear seats, & a 4-point auto-works roll bar. I had to cut the stock sail panels but they will be replaced with more accurately cut pieces. My interior is in excellent shape other wise. I think thats a good start.

My plans include using well placed carbon fiber dash trim, bare aluminum racing petals, new seat-belt/harness, LED interior lighting, padding the roll bar in key spots with black foam, and a rear seat delete.

I'm trying to emulate interiors like the new Mercedes CLK63 AMG "Black Edition" And the new Ferrari F430 Scuderia like so:




My current Interior:





Using this style carbon fiber pieces:




Building a rear seat delete similar to what they sell for Mustangs:


The leading ends would flow right up to the back of my front seats creating a smooth appearance with no random drops as if it was meant to be a 2 seater.
Corvette:


Last but not least:

(new shift knob since mine is white & I think it will clash)

What do you guys think?
