Interior Reupholstery project- Planning phase
lol been here a day and you already know me lol.....yea its sweet good post once again bud.....im goin nuts i wanna know does anyone know where or who i can get a cf center console from....im thinking a full silver cf center console with a maroon or red dash to set the tone for the rest of the interior
haha glad i can help. now i cant answer your question as to where to get the console from. i have lurked the hell out of these forums and havent seen any LOOK At This types with a badass console. my guess is that a lot of people are either being tacky and using fake/sticker carbon fiber. orrrrr had the piece custom made/ made it themselves. however if you do find one and it isnt posted in this thread please do share with the community.

Ok so we are going leather and suede throughout the car.....katzkin seats that will be fitted properly. Color scheme is an off grayish white by katzkin called bamboo and maroon throughout the car. having carpet trunk all plastic trim including doors and inserts dash center console trunk trim seats headliner and pillars all reupholstered.....total cost 4375
I think I know what your after nitro. I would look into redline goods and they use a material called faux-alcantara. Really high end cars like Ferrari's have that cloth interior even on the dash and i think that is real alcantara or some type of other cloth? I would research that. I think it would look sick in the TC interior if you do it right. For the record I just order some faux-alcantara shifter boots for my TC. Think it's going to look sick with Dr. Isotopes short shifter that I'm getting soon also. Should be a interesting project for you. Post pics if you when you figure it out, would definately like to see.

Im now gonna research getting an alcantara boot just for you buddy. Momo makes some. If I like it Ill sew in your login to the boot as credit lol.....Im doing dedications to scionlife members as thanks for their help
UPDATE: So this is what I got so far this week for the car. Dome lights were installed but the rest is in the mail. The handbrake I am trying to find out if it will be an issue to order. As if I need an adapter or anything for it.





I also ordered a carbon fiber boot for the shifter and one for the handbrake......not bad as a start I think. Anyone ever sewn their own steering wheel cover on? Im thinking of giving it a go so I can replace my steering wheel cover with one I can have embroidered. I gotta slightly adjust one of the red map lights. The one on the right but outside of that....Im digging all the new toys. Should look great after the reupholstery
