Rice or nice...I say, nice! Much improved.

The naysayers don't seem to like your steering wheel, I think becuz of the silver on the top...if its leather, dye it. Otherwise, I wouldn't be to concerned either.

Post pics of the final outcome.

You do know that 99% of the harnesses out there are NOT DOT legal, right? I believe that Simpson makes a unit that is DOT approved for street use, but most other belts are not DOT tested, and due to their lack of UV protection will most likely not pass the DOT tests.

Bottom line - for a dual purpose street/track car, you need to retain the stock seatbelts, or buy the expensive Simpson harnesses.

Really like the door panels, and the wheel seems good. The shape of the seats and color of the belts seem a bit off to me, but to each their own!

The cop laughed...

Yes - MUCH better than the white.
And I actually like the black pieces against the plaid door panel.
Dunno why, just do.

NICE! The wheel is a bit much but a dash kit might help it out.
