well it's kinda hard to tell since its all apart again but what i did was
inner spedo and bezzel also the ac vents the door arm rest and the old console was white with the blue top peices the one you see is all that's left from the old console also the glove box handle the kick plates were done in white and even had white flames followed up to the a piller you can paint any of the plastic just make shure you prep good and put thin coats on it's alway good to use a heat lamp to harden and bake the paint in also the paint used on the arm rest was that vynal paint it lasted about 3 year's every thing else was done in plasticoat and has held up great if you can find the colors you want in engin enamel high temp..... use that it's indestructable

Looks like it would set off the interior pretty nice.  Don't go TOO overboard on the whole red/black thing though.

Seat color? Red or black?  Carpet?  Headliner?

I like it. I'd do red seats with black inserts and a black headliner.
Probably black carpeting too.

i already replaced the under dash lights with small neons. lights up enough to see, its even light, not shadowed and bright in one spot and dim in a nother, and i might do something for the back as well. should look good when im done.

To me that's going to far;) (Not a fan of neons in any shape or form)

Also if it were ME I'd do black seats and red carpet...but again, that's just me. :hick: I tend to be a bit more subtle in my color choices

It is very cool.  I don't know of black or red seats would look cooler though. 

I put blue bulbs in the interior, and it's pretty neat.  I might or might not do the dome light.  It is pretty ricerish though.  Oh well.

i wouldnt change the dome light. it dosnt look right at all... expecialy sence our dome light covers are almost yellow plastic. any color you put in will just look faded or off.

i changed the under dash lights to get more even lighting. used red because my carpet is red, and i dont like how white light looks for some reason, just matched better.

How do you plan to recolor the trim black? Or do you have black trim pieces laying around. I tell you, its frustrating not to have any new parts available for interior pieces. Guess we'll have to settle on junkyard stuff.
