Default a luxury themed tc...

I'm sure i'm going to get flamed, but instead of spending my money making my car more "sporty", I decided to make it more "luxurious"...
sorry for the crappy pics, i haven't had time to take any good ones

chrome grill, rims and door handles


suede pillars and headliner


black burlwood interior by patterntek

(The wood looks alot different/better in person) suede door panels


suede seats to complete the look


quickie of the system

yes, the entire interior has been done in rammat and ensolite to make it that luxury car quiet (including firewall and roof)
then there's little stuff like a all white guage swaps and dome lights and lowered on the softest lowering springs I could find, etc.

Wow, nicely done. I was afraid it'd only be chrome accent tape around the window sills or something.

Two thumbs up. I'm not going to knock the chromies since the theme is carried out the whole way.

Btw, for the headliner, recommend you smooth it out with your hand or something. Probably less noticeable in regular light but it looks weird when it's all random like that.

Other than the wheels and the pattern on the dash, I think it looks good.

i started going the route everybody else does, but i wanted to be different. plus i wanted a more luxurous vehicle after I bought it and didn't want to lose money by buying another new car so soon. so i made it fit my needs! lol

nice done, i can think it's a good choice of going luxury instead of performance, as your can is auto like mine. But i want both performance and good looking outside...lol

I think it looks awesome!!!!! Dude never care if your gonna get flamed simply for being different...IMHO people around here are to uptight with trendy styles anyway. They do what everyone else does so they'll fit in, Screw that. That poop is sick. Show worthy for sure.

oh, and the burlwood dash color and everything really does look different and better in person. The lighting in the pics makes it look funny... but i know alot of people still don't like it just cuz its wood grain in a tc =P and I also know most people just seem to hate chrome wheels on tCs as well, but they stand out and get noticed alot more to "universal" and "regular" car people. it's the "tuners" that hate them and i'm not going for the whole racing look. it cost to much and i like having a reliable long term car, lol.

I like it. Its different but good. You accomplished everything you wanted and did it the right way. Kudos to that. I am not a big chrom guy but it works on the BCP and it does look good.

The burlwood actually looks pretty dope!! I like alot, the interior is really nice. Id love to have a black suede headliner. The outside of the car on the otherhand...IMO its not really luxurious. I dont think chrome wheels look good on imports at all. The chrome door handles and grill is ok, but the chrome rims just make it look ricy IMO. Whatever floats your boat though, the interior is just amazing.

I thought pretty much all luxury cars came with standard chrome wheels, grills and door handles, lol. or at least it's the higher end optional equipment on most cars. and I tried to get the smallest spoked wheels I could and had to settle for these (long story)
