Interior Mods?

I've been looking around, and can't seem to find any sites that carry mod's for the interior of third gen's. Anyone of you guys have some pics of your interiors to show? Websites to get stuff from?

What kind of mods are you talking about here? Like just buying things to go on the existing or replacing things like seats and dash?

Theres a guy on eBay who does brushed aluminum along with the fake wood and carbon fiber dash and console inserts...

I'm sure if you had the money you could get some panels done in aluminum if you know someone with a CNC Machine and have them anodized in a color to your liking...

These may not be the type of mods you were considering; however, they've made driving my car much more fun: Overhead console, Conteur driver's seat, clear xenon bulbs (in the cluster, AC control head and console clock), a higher mph speedo head, B&M Ripper 5-speed shifter, a Grant leather-covered steering wheel, and an Alpine CD player along with Kenwood speakers. I wouldn't mind having a auto dimming mirror with direction and temp.

macewen's white face overlays are an easy thing to do to your dash for a huge improvement.

Get a copy of Street Rodder magazine. Lots of cool parts advertised in there. That is where I first found my billet steering wheel years ago. Just use your imagination. As an example, if you have manual windows, a set of billet cranks would killer.

Or even better an auto dimming mirror with compass and thermometer from a late model chev pickup/Suburban/Yukon. All the electronics are self contained. Thats what I'm currently planning for mine.

I have a 91' Bird and personally I love the interior. I thought about whiteface gauges but I think the almost carbon fiber background looks very cool. Does anyone have pics of the B&M Hammer shifter in a car?

How much is a new headliner? And with the brushed aluminum, how much is that?
