This is an awesome build.
What do you think your MPG will be after these mods?

Bert, the string starter was talking about unconventional ways of paint/color choice while waiting on the engine. Just pointing out how I did something odd.

ok cool the nice thing about vinyl wrap is if you dont like it just peel it off.

I like the idea of the cluster wrapped. It could look really good. If you did your wheels with it, and your tach cluster, I think that would be enough to set it off.

yes my 88 is an lx (which i scored for 400 bucks) it has amber gauges and all my after market gauges i also got in amber, my door cards are crap and need redone i was thinking about doing the pvc sheet and cut it to fit my door card then wrap it in the same vinyl i am gonna use to do my wheels. so the door cards would be orange carbon fiber. and then do black sparco seats, and i also have the tan interior which is cool but sucks cuz cant ever find any spare parts for it. i was thinking use the vinyl wrap for the speedo surround and stereo surround but i dont know if that would be too much orange like you said i want it to have a much needed "nice" update but dont want it over board.

Drumnerd, one of the things that I like to do while searching themes is to look at the Exotics and the VIP rides. I thoroughly agree with rmoltis on the color scheme setup. Personally, I would keep the orange to a minimum. Here the college colors are orange and white (sometimes purple), and many of the custom interiors that I see disgust me. If you have an orange tach cluster and a black-faced, amber-display stereo (think BMW), that's enough orange inside, with the exception of the vent handles, plastic seat piping, dome light switch, and visible, orange triple-stitching on the door card fabric. Instead of painting your rear plastics, use vinyl and/or faux suede to give the interior a much-needed boost in "quality appearance" while matching them to your door cards. Heating subwoofer box carpeting with a heat gun will help it to contour to your rear plastics and improve the overall appearance of your cargo area. Be careful when you do that, though. I look forward to seeing your finished product.

Here are an interior setup I thought might be cool:



Most of the images Google gives you anymore are crap...

I just finished coating my 14s with hammerite black paint! Getting the tires on tomorrow.

What does 'kissing a pig' have to do with upgrading a B3? Not to knock your wheels but remind your this is a "B3" forum.

Very nice looks good
