Well, my front and rear seats are going bye-bye tomorrow. So naturally I need something to replace them. Then of course, as usual with me, one mod leads to 10 others. So I will start this post with my new seats. Bride Gias Maziora Edition. I will then update this thread as I change the rest of the interior.

The first thing is to bolt the Gias in and see how they feel. I have the drivers in already, but am still waiting on a passenger side rail. I must say, it's probably one of the most rewarding mods I have done. This is the first time I have REALLY been able to "feel" the car.

Next up will be to reupholster the rear seat. I need to brush up on my sewing skills, so hopefully it turns out the I want it the 1st time.... perfect I have 3 sections of Bride material at my shop just begging to go in. I will do the back seat to match the fronts. I will be using the standard black Bride material for the main part of the seat, then black Bride logo material for the center sections.

The next phase will be the headliner. I am going to wrap that in the black Bride logo material. This should be a pretty easy process.

After that I need to do the door panels in the logo material, then the armrest and glove box. However, I haven't decided if I want to do the glove box and armrest in the logo material or the plain material.... we'll just have to play with it and see.

Here as some uninstalled pics..... front side pics didn't come out good so I'm not posting them. However, you can be sure there will be a full interior photo shoot in the near future! Stay tuned for many more progress pics.

Great cant wait to see the pics. I have a quick question seeing as youre about to do headliner work. My coupe has no headliner but I want to make 1, should that be a hard process at all? Simple stiching once i have the measurements and fabric?

All of the material will be black, so nothing too flashy. The back of the seats, honestly, are hardly visible when walking by. As usual, I like to add just the right amount of flash to certain areas of the car. Hopefully everything turns out the way I have it inside my big head

Yeah, I was surprised that no one replied in my for sale thread. However, I got four emails that night, and they were sold within two days.

Broadfield, I love your car to death and I am by no means trying to criticize your work, you do 10x cleaner work than I do, But the question that I must ask is, Will there be too much Bride material? Maybe once you post up the actual material I can make a better judgement. As always keep up the awesome work man.

At first i thought you were ruining the car with all the bride logos but if anybody, you will do it the best. Your car has always inspired me to clean up another part of mine and cant wait to see the finished product

Being that it is you, I know it will be executed cleanly and to a very high level. I just prefer the gutted look on my cars.

Well, most of the material on the back seat will be plain black material.... just like the fronts. They will then have the Bride logo material in the middle to match the fronts like in the pic below. I will most likely do the glove box and armrest in the plain black material. The black Bride logo material I will use on the headliner, which obviously you won't really see unless you look up. Then also on the door card inserts. So it will be a very subtle touch, but there. Here is a pic of the black Bride material on a Gias. This is the stuff I am talking about, and it actually looks more black than that in person,

If it's any where near as detailed as your brake rebuild, it's going to be stellar.

once again can't wait to see the finished product.

i'm tired of my s14 seats and i was getting tired of my car not having any changes for the past year...you inspired me to get a new seat. also i'm not sure but what are you going to do about the seatbelt? a regular seatbelt or are you going to have a harness?
