Default Interior Enhancement Suggestions

Fellow RL's -
I have really been into my car lately.. Driving it, cleaning it, making sure all is up to par.
I am trying to determine what type of accents I could put in the interior to liven it up a bit. Below is a quick pic of current interior, the cashmere beige/black combo. As you can see I have the wood/aluminum combo on the shifter and e-brake.
I want to incorporate a little more aluminum and wanted some feedback / ideas and/or pics of other similar interiors that were enhanced.
I am also looking to do a 3 spoke wheel. Trying to determine how black and aluminum would mix w/ the beige and aluminum.

Dying your console and shifter boot black has always been a great improvement for tan interior cars, IMHO.

Three spoke wheel, like mentioned, would be great as well!

The AJUSA aluminum pedal set is a great upgrade and the quality is top notch. It is one of the few sets where the gas pedal is a replacement instead of adding to the existing pedal.

Also, I just bought an FVD steering wheel (recent clearance item from FVD) and I like it very much. I have not installed it yet.

Your car is quite beautiful and the mods are awesome.

I just spoke to the guys at FVD yesterday and apparently they are supposed to get some more three spoke wheels (the clearance ones) in very soon, so more will be available. Call them for more info.

- 3 spoke steering wheel
- aluminium pedals
- Alu shifter & hand brake
- Alu rings around the gauges (is this the correct word for it?)

This will change the interior completly.

I recently installed black shift boot and hand brake assemblies in a cashmere (tan) console to replace the tan items. The result with the other black inserts in the console is quite striking.

1. Replace dash with full leather version
2. Switch out guage faces for OEM alum
3. OEM 4 spoke carbon fiber steering wheel with full leather airbag
4.Carbon Fiber center console

These changes really make the interior.I am now looking to aquire some Recaro A8 seats to finish my changes to interior

I love the 340mm FVD Daytona steering wheel upgrade. BEST interior mod IMO as it totally enhanced the driving experience. I also added the carbon shift **** with leather boot...nice.

Carmen,

I do like the console and boot dyed black as others have suggested.

However, maybe it's just me but I think interior as it currently exists
is amazing.

Because of the black/tan/wood combo, I would be careful
about introducing too many elements.

Those turbo S ducts are the bizniz!

Default pedals

New pedal set can't hurt. I picked up the Rennline pedals and had them cut them for rubber insterts. Made Heel/Toe so much easier than the stock pedal.. If anyone needs a spare accelerator pedal let me know. I have no use for it now. The new gas pedal is fully height adjustable. And I know I'm missing my OBDII access port cover.

All depends on what you want to spend. Seats (GT3), roll hoop, 3 spoke Momo w/quick disconnect, race pedals and alum. rings.......$$$ (lots)

Day at the track enjoying all those goodies...............priceless
