i think thats the big debatable question here..after all the money spent WILL it look good? it might look f***ing awesome, or it might look like old levi's. i hope it looks great altogether for the sake of your wallet and time. maybe some red stitched 240sx floor mats would help. i love interior stuff, i hope this does turn out good in the end, i will def keep an eye on this.

Looks very good, dont see that very much. I would leave the vents as is, maybe a fresh coat of black. Painting them seems like it should be left to he Honda guys.

I wrap dashes and some of the lines on the s13 dash are very difficult to get right.

i like it. i think black stitching would look better. it would show the imperfections less. also to the last guy who wrapped that dash...what is that wrapped in? looks good

Not my cup of tea, but it looks good.

I would get a black w/red stitching shift boot and steering wheel.

after painting my old dash from brown to black it took me about a months worth of motivation to put the 9 bolts back in.

whats wrong with painting interior? better than brown, came out sex and i sold the car that way. the next guy was pretty impressed, didnt even know it was painted and i let all my parts dry for at least 3 weeks. now im by no means saying that you should paint the interior oddball colors and ricer red vents, but a fresh coat of black done properly looks and holds up great...

i cant argue you on that there's nuthing wrong the color black. but painting is not the way to go. wih the money spent on this dash a black interior conversion could had been or near completed in this car.

oh definatly, thats why im looking forward to the "finished" result, it might look great all around... the price he pays in the end i hope is worth it, might look sweet as hell.
