Default Looking for some unique interior mods. Suggestions?

Im looking for some unique interior mods to do. Im thinking LEDs, mini bar type thing, paint. On the LED note, i really dont have a lot of experience with wiring things, but w/e. Really, im open to anything. Just a cool, unique, interior mod.

Alright guys, start brainstorming. Ive got some cash burning a hole in my pocket. Thanks a lot!

also, ive already done a guage swap, amp/sub, monitors, game console, and dash led swap.

Black out your interior. Headliner, pillars, etc.

another inexpensive clean interior mod, that only a few have is the audioformz cargo panel piece.. its like $40, and is
fiberglass, it goes on the hatch, over the OEM panel.. you can get it painted to match or air brushed.. I have one
sitting here I havnt decided what to do with yet..
http://www.audioformz.com/xbcargo.asp

the blackout upper half of the interior does look nice as well, It looks like its supposed to be that way when done as well.
My buddy paid someone to do his, but I think I saw a DIY on here
somewhere...

There isn't anything "unique" anymore, especially if you are asking on this forum and I hope no one gets offended by this. Everyone seems to copy the next guy, especially when it comes to wheels and interior stuff. Just go to a Scion show and you'll see what I mean. Good luck to you anyways...

What about a mini stripper pole? Could come in handy when you pick up Bridget the Midget.

i recently blacked out all my interior and it's VERY nice. almost seems like i tinted my windows cause there isn't that much light bouncing off anything anymore in the interior now. only thing you gotta deal with is a paint like smell for a couple weeks and then it's all good.

i did everything there is to do that was that off-white color and now it looks very clean and slick inside. word of advise if you do this... dont't take the screw out of the back of the center rear view mirror... i did thinking the mirror housing would come apart so i could paint it all without worrieing about masking off the reflector... BIG mistake, the screw is the tightening screw for the night time flip lever thing so now i can't use that anymore and the mirror is real sensitive, you take that screw out, there's no puting it back in... i tried for hours

I have a small 6 inch screen with hd tuner and remot ein my car. Great for between jobs and hour lunch break. Plus I can bragg I have hd in my car. HD tv that is. I think it would be cool to have a small single din radio with a 3 inch screen. Then use a storage insert below it for the hd tuner and remote storage when not in use. (TM)
