Here's a few pics of my interior so far.



Suede visor vs. stock



Another with the mirror open.



No more stupid ugly warning sticker!



Visor in place. Suede headliner. I dyed the weather strip with some VHT dye. I used the VHT black satin interior plastic paint on the pillars and all the other plastic. I hand painted the white arrows on the sunroof control.



Another shot of the A pillar with the boost gage.



The C pillar and hanger with a look at the headliner in the back seat.



Black painted dash and black HVAC controls and radio face.

Well, that's it for now. I have some more work to do to it. I definitley need some interior lighting! It's so damn dark in my car now!

 

its a good idea...... just looks way to dark to me.....

 

so dark that i cant see **** in the pictures...lol

 

Yeah the picture quality kinda sucks. I took them in the garage, it looks way different in person, especially in the daylight. At night though, you can't see **** except for the lit areas of the dash. I'm gonna do some blue LEDs soon to brighten it up a bit.

 

personally, i think this is pretty bad ass. im a huge fan of black and think that almost any color added to ones interior often times can be very conflicting. im not a big fan of the blue leds but to each his own. it might look really bad ass if you do some white lighitng.

 

looks good, i think its too much black but at least it seems to be done correctly

 

Yeah post of some day pictures of the interior, kinda hard to see right now, but sweet idea with the headliner, any chance you can do a how to on taking it down? id love to recover mine in suede as well

 

I'm holding out my opinion till i can see some pics in the light. I think it would be hot, but I really can't tell from the darkness of it all

 

Looking good man. There was a member at the 1st annual Cobalt meet that did the same thing. It looks amazing in person.

Congrats and nice work. Looks very comfy in there.

 

Looks like alot of work. 2 thumbs up

 

so how much was the suede per yard?

 

looking good. its funny i just bought all the dash trim peices to paint them gloss black. I really like the way it looks with the rest of the dash. i was going to leave the radio, center bar and hvac controls silver though. how did you paint them black with out painting over any of writing and stuff?

im a retard and realized you probably got black hvac and radio face of another vehicle

 

I have the same question, and how much did you use/buy?

 

PRICE LIST please! Or even a Project list.

This looks like a project I may want to do.

Thanks.

 

That looks amazing man... Definitely add some led's in there though (red or blue)... it needs a little bit of color lol.

 

It does look good, an all black interior....thats something I'd like to do. Just be careful in the summer, always have the window down!!! You're going to fry!

 

I going to be doing something very similar, but with black carbon fiber style vinyl, how did you do your visors? And guys, you can get micro suede on ebay for around 15 bucks a yard in jsut about any color you can imagine.

 

dang, you sure went all black didnt ya? it looks good though man, good job. cant wait to see more pics if you get the leds in.

 

do you have the part number for the black heater/ac controls?

 

Post some daytime pics, I want to see the black interior. I've been thinking about this.

 

your interior would look great in my car lol

 

come on part number lol, i really want the black ac controls, and i dont wanna have to rip it out of someone's car lol

 

Wow, I thought this thread was dead. OK to answer some questions. The material is micro-suede. The lady at the fabric store said that it is way better than real suede for this project (it's lighter, easier to clean, about half the price and it adheres much better). I bought 3 yards of it to do the headliner, door inserts and the Recaro inserts and if I have any left over I'll do the back seat inserts. The visors are not easy to do so take your time or you'll get really frustrated and mess it up. For the dash I used the GM stuff from the dealer that matches the body and then clear coated it with Rustoleum Crystal Clear. The HVAC and radio controls came from a test drive of the base model, I traded them out, I didn't steal them. The salesman I bought my car from thought the silver looked better in the base model. Sorry, I don't have part numbers. As far as getting the headliner out, remove all pillars then a little persuasion will get it out. If you don't know how to remove the pillars, you shouldn't even attempt this project. As for pictures outside of my garage in the daylight, well, my camera sucks ass. It's like 7-8 years old 1.2 mega-pixels, so yeah, like I said it sucks ass. I will have to get someone to get some better shots of it for me. Any other questions just PM me. I'm usually on here at night when I work (I work the grave shift).

 

I m still curious about the visors, I m assuming you did them your self then? Did you sew up new new covers? How do they come apart, it seems like they re glued together at the one seem that there isnt a stitch.

 

how do you get the headliner off? i looked for how to but couldn find too much

oh guess i missed the last post about how to. duh
