I have more plans for my interior. As soon as I get the time. I'm keeping the Patina Alloy pieces stock, and any of the silver pieces are going purple. The only pieces I have left to do are the door handles and the steering wheel ring. Other than that, I might have the headliner dyed purple.

I'll have to take a couple pics of mine, anyway I've got JCW carbon dash, JCW carbon/alcantara e-brake handle, alcantara e-brake and gearshift boots, and I also painted black the downtubes, the gearshift ring, the speaker covers, the Y in the doors, the speedometer ring, the vent rings and the cupholder rings.

I've been thinking about getting carbon downtubes before I did the paint but now I think it looks good as it is, might get the carbon gearshift and cupholder rings though.

Well Fusion is a good paint for plastic. I use mostly DupliColor. If you prep the surface right any spray paint can give a wonderful look.

It certainly is different. Pretty cool though.

No custom steering wheel cover? The black looks out of place.

Whatever off-black/charcoal color the stock interior is, I think it's better than black.

Where I'm at with the interior is no where near as intense as those above, but here it is to-date with some red accents.
