Custom interior trim ideas
I'm looking to change the interior aesthetics of my car but I'm not sure what to do. I was thinking of replacing all the hard plastic with some kind of brushed gold/yellow metal (aluminium?) but I'm not sure how it would look. I'm hoping to make my car have a German flag theme to it (gold black and red throughout) for an end result. I'm still a long way away from having a finished product but I want to start planning how I'm going to get to the final product. My mechanicals are in good order now so I'm onto looks.
To sum up, has anyone done a "trim conversion" in a 924/early 44? More specifically to metal of some kind? Looking for any ideas, pictures would be great.

And one other thing, I had looked through an old thread on rennlist about fabricating, and installing a gated shifter potentially. Just curious if anyone has actually done it? I love the look and clicking sound from them. Hoping to find a way to put one in my car as well.

My dad told me one of his good friends owns a metal shop and if I give him a cad file, or at least the measurements, he might make me the pieces out of aluminium for relatively cheap. It will still be a few hundred $ for all the pieces I'm thinking of getting so I'm just hoping to see how it would look before spending the money. The main reason I want to change it is because I don't like the plastic (look/feel/sound).
