My Winter Apperance Plan
Just thought I would share it with everyone before I dive into it in the upcoming weeks while its freezing outside!
The Plan:
To create a race bread appearance inside my 1995 Z28 Camaro to match the exterior.
Many modern Import & Exotic sport cars are using extensive and well placed pieces of carbon fiber to build a contrasting interior which is very appealing to me. I think that stock F-body interiors leave a lot to be desired but can be easily fixed when certain items that are well placed and tasteful. I know these cars were originally designed to be obtainable to the average Joe, but I am a huge fan of true coupe interiors similar to the Corvette. I have no desire to transport passengers and this is my weekend fun toy so it should be used & designed as such.
Right now my interior is still pretty stock appearing with the only interior modifications being a head-unit, white shift knob, 2x racing seats, no rear seats, & a 4-point auto-works roll bar. I had to cut the stock sail panels but they will be replaced with more accurately cut pieces. My interior is in excellent shape other wise. I think thats a good start.
My plans include using well placed carbon fiber dash trim, bare aluminum racing petals, new seat-belt/harness, LED interior lighting, padding the roll bar in key spots with black foam, and a rear seat delete.
I'm trying to emulate interiors like the new Mercedes CLK63 AMG "Black Edition" And the new Ferrari F430 Scuderia like so:
My current Interior:
Using this style carbon fiber pieces:
Building a rear seat delete similar to what they sell for Mustangs:
The leading ends would flow right up to the back of my front seats creating a smooth appearance with no random drops as if it was meant to be a 2 seater.
Corvette:
Last but not least:
(new shift knob since mine is white & I think it will clash)
What do you guys think?

Just my opinion, but I would skip the carbon fiber stick on stuff. Seems kinda ricer-ish unless you are installing actual carbon fiber parts.
Everything else sounds cool though.

i was thinking that too. heres an option:
rksport at one point made a fully molded carbon fiber dash kit that actually replaced parts of the dash on the 97-02 cars. it was expensive and they stopped making it though, but im sure it can be found. a dash swap if you like it may be in order

I think your in the right direction, but i would skip the carbon fiber stick ons and maybe try something else other than carbon fiber to make yours more original? Just an idea. And yea also a new steering wheel, stock looks kinda bulky and outta place

Eh i don't like those boxes, and I hear they fit like crap. I want it to slow down to my front seats I don't care if its not level or even with the trans tunnel. I'm going to make one out of cardboard first.

that carbon fiber "dash trim" is GARBAGE!!!! I have it, and it ISN'T molded, it is "over lay". It DOESN'T look like the picture. I ordered it from RKSport and I'm taking it off next yr and probably painting my dash parts black to give them a shine. The overlay crap looks so cheesy. Your best bet is to find a company that sells the real molded pieces, i have seen them and they're nice, but expensive.

I have to agree that I have yet to see a single carbon fiber interior done that looks good (especially in an american muscle car). I say just go with the small accents like I did in mine; (silver dash plate, silver door inserts, race pedals, gauge pod, custom shift knob ect.)
Also, you can use lighting to change the appearance drasticly. Here's a Firebird I always thought looked sweet with its custom lights;

Actually it's 93-96. 97-02 had the updated layout.
