Some interior shots

Haven't really been able to take any pictures of my interior since I did the transformation. A BIG THANKS to Tom @ EAS for wrapping my wood trim in silver/white carbon fibre. LeatherZ did my shift and ebrake boots.





I will try to get more pictures of it in the sun....

Amazing I love the white LED and the white stitching. How hard was it to replace all the bulbs with LED's any electrical problems?

No electrical problems but they do flicker quickly (only for a second or so) when turning the ignition on(maybe the battery does not have enough charge?) but they are BRIGHT! It was fairly simple swapping the bulbs, just very tedious.

Thats strange I always thought that LED were more energy efficient than filament bulbs. Does this only happen when you start the car?

yeah, only when the car starts, but it just may be my battery... it's getting towards the end of its life.

This is real carbon fibre. Well actually, it's a cloth very similar to carbon kevlar (but not as strong) that is coated in several coats of resin (just like carbon fiber). It doesn't have the strength of cf but it's for looks. Also, the wood trim has metal backings so wasn't looking for weight reduction. EAS currently has a set that they are selling. Check out the vendor section on Xoutpost. I highly recommend them!

VERY nice! I love the stitching.

Those are REAAAALY nice pics. They look like they're from a sales brochure. You have some talent with a camera! Well done.
