Okay I've been looking around @ S13s for a while now, since it's hard to find S14s here (esp in MT) and the pre S14.5 ones don't look as good as S13 fastbacks IMO...

The only thing that REALLY bugs me about the S13 is the interior, most of the ones I've seen have this wierd grey/beige interior and it goes over the glove box...I mean blehhhhhhhhh (yes it bugs me haha)

What can be found to fix up or spruce up the interior, to make it look nicer.

I was thinking Carbon Fiber/Aluminum Dash kit, maybe get all the pieces redyed black, and a re-upholstry over...

Are there any pics of some "custom" interiors?

grey/beige? ehh? mine had the brown beige, interior, currently changing it to black beige, almost completed with that. as for sprucing it up, you can go the dash kits like that you also can spend 679+ and get leather reupholstering, or dyeing the parts, which I may end up doing eventually,..

one of the other interior color schemes is a light grey cloth coupled with dark grey plastic. i think the tweed looks pretty stupid, and am currently about ready to reupholster the whole car in a smoother looking light grey cloth. i like the look of the two tone light on dark.

I replaced my grey carpet with black, got grey s-14 seats, and tore the cloth off the glovebox, scraped off as much of the yellow stuff as I could, and spray painted it black

the tweed easily comes off the doors and looks good underneath. the glove box isn't as easy, but for a couple bucks you can get a piece of vinyl at a crafts store and re-cover it after you rip the tweed off. get new front seats, then all that's left in tweed is the rear seats. shouldn't be hard for an auto upholstery shop to take care of those..
