I just put in my CarPC over the weekend and got to thinking. If I can make the double-din lcd look so good I can probably do some other stuff on the inside as well...
So if anyone has some pictures of custom interior work; ie bondoed panels / consoles, cup holders, gauges, anything and everything post of some pics so I can get some ideas.
If people want something, I have plenty of resources to re-produce some of my stuff for others to have...
Yes quite! They are in my room right now, and i chill in 'em with a good book all of the time. The later model seats from the RSX-S have a different stiching and pattern to the surface of the seat... while it looks very nice I felt that its design was too modern to properly flow with the rest of the fourth gen interior.... its why I went with the earlier version: more subtle.
EDIT: Just for clarification the rail portion is in the shop... I'm only hoping they will be just as comfy in the lude.
Also, they happen to match the 4th gen interior perfectly. The leather is black of course and the perforation is exactly the same as the door panels. I really want the interior to feel more cockpit like. Anything mod that makes the car feel more like a spaceship gets a go!
Meanwhile, I've got an s2000 shift boot on the way to go with the knob I've had for some time. Yes I know the s2k knob is a six speed, but not for long, I'll be hacking the top off right above the leather (perforation matches!) and jbwelding a new ebay replica type R five speed knob top in its place.
Once its all done I'll post some photos, but its still gonna be awhile. Still have to get that forbidden shortshifter before the shift knob and boot mod. Might as well do it all at the same time.

First time using a dremel, I flush mounted my VAFC II where the ashtray used to be. I'm still trying to figure out what I'm gonna use to fill the gaps on the right side where I cut it.
My CUSTOM Panda Valentine 1 Skin I made this to detour thieves, I am too damn lazy to take off my freakin radar detector everytime I get out of my car, hopefully I don't run into any thieving panda enthusiasts!
LMAO! Thats awesome! When I put in my touchscreen I ended up hacking the radio bevel/console thing, hacking up the ts lcd, and then i bondoed them together, sanded, primer, sanded, primer, sand, duplicolor trim paint. It looks flawless imo.
I guess I can show a teaser. I have been waiting to post any pics of my car online till I am done with it. Dunno I'm just anal. I will be doing alot of work this weekend and will be posting pics. Anyways, this is what the ts looks like. Its dirty and I have since put the infrared cover thing back in...
wow looks stock! I've never used bondo before. I just want my cut hole to be smooth u know, like i didnt ghetto modify it. I want my vafc to be installed just like my aftermarket radio. with just some trim pieces.
Oh, gotcha. Yea this weekend I am pulling out the cigarette lighter and putting in a usb port
howre you mounting the USB port? like how will u secure it to the dash or wherever so that you can push it directly into the dash without it popping out on the other side?
