IMO, keeping the interior showroom stock aside from a nice touch screen HU and restoring it to brand new condition is the best look.

Definatly love the stock look.

“Improved stock” all the way. I’m a big interior guy but unfortunately its been last on my list of things to get done (why have a nice interior if the car doesn’t move right?). Here’s my list of improvements to retain a classy stock look but improve on material quality and function:

Completed or being completed:
1. Cadillac Opulent Tuscany full leather seats front and rear (zero vinyl and the rear stock vinyl is being removed, not upholstered over)
2. Replace all beige upper trim with vinyl wrapped charcoal pieces from different year
3. Tasteful gauges, not overdone, retain amber lights like stock (Autometer Ultra-lites in stock location + one on the a-pillar with an AEM WB; main cluster redone with NR auto stock replacement white faced gauges to compliment)
4. OEM shift knob and e-brake handle
5. Black and forest green shift and e-brake boots (only interior color accents in the car)
6. Mito corp auto-dim mirror w/compass
7. Digital CC conversion

To be completed:
8. New OEM mats if I can source them
9. Alcantara suede charcoal headliner, sunvisors, and sunroof cover
10. Rewrapped stock steering wheel
11. New OEM defrost vents
12. Leather wrapped instrument panel, door panels, center console
13. Pillars in leather/alcantara to compliment
14. This is a big maybe – LED ambient lights (similar to new E-class, A6, etc.), footweels, under rear seats, DIN pocket under radio, arm rests; very faint light, just for ambient effect when pitch black (A6 has best execution of this, take a ride in one at night)

So there it is, my ridiculous interior list. If I could do a direct lift of an A6/S5 interior and somehow graft it into a 3S I would, best interior in the automotive business. I'll post pictures of my interior when I get my seats back. It's getting there, slowly haha.

Agreed. Add "eliminate door panel bubbles" to the list.

Not going to get even close to the whole setup for $220. It was more than that when it was available, but now that it's not, I'd look to pay at least what it sold for. I'm selling my upper and lower trim for $225 plus shipping, (What I payed for it) and I'm sure I'll get it with no problem. I have interest, just waiting on payment. As with anything, first come first served.

whatever happened to those peice..why dont they sell them anymore?

VirginiaTechVR4 · 05-07-2008, 06:55 PM

1) New Leather - two tone, unless the stock one is in great condition
2) 97+ Domelight
3) Aftermarker mirror with compass and temperature
4) A small, hidden away bass
5) Whatever you put inside, performance wise, make it look like it belongs

Not my greatest picture, but notice the boost controller/ turbo timer above the radio, my favorite thing I made for my car... you can also see most of what I mentioned above...
