What to do with Willow interior... need suggestions

Ok Fellas... well i want to do something with my interior but dont know what to do... i wish i could have got Black/stone....has anyone completely redone there interior? Possibly having the dash and everything painted with interior paint? It is hard to go with a color scheme since nothing matches willow... give me some ideas fellas....

You could go the suede route.. IMO too much suede.I was actually talking about this very subject with Sundeviljay and he agreed that would be too much.
If you lived here I could hook you up with my new painter..Extreme 310 Kustoms He works on Chip Foose's overhaulin...(give him a call Josh 310 367 4034)..He might have some ideas for you..He is doing some paint work for me now and some other stuff...I'm going to show it all next time I show.


ReStitch the seats...CF trim and dash..... would be the ish..I wish I had black also. Willow is so hard to do anything with...I saw a G on here two toned black and willow...maybe stich the seats do the door panels and some trim..If you could do your gauge pod in CF....

there is a airbrush technique they use to look like cf....

Wow thanks bro.. i never thought about doing black and willow... my main concern is taking the dark grey dash and getting that black... but i would want it to look factory and not suede... so basically turn everything in the car that isnt willow to black and possibly do some Bride XAX seats... and i might just get all my trim pieces wrapped in CF... hmmm....

You could do dark grey inserts. I am not a fan of painting the dashboard unless it's glass. Due to the high temperature you risk the paint fading eventually. The trim parts wrapped in carbon fiber is a good idea also. I am actually going to be working on my interior over the winter.

^yeah i though of doing the dark grey inserts but not sure if it will look good... that would be the easiest... might end up going that route unless i can find a swap for the whole interior(unlikely).... but i definitly want to get the trim peices wrapped in CF...

I've seen a few painted dash's and wow what a job. I think suede would fade faster than paint..Either way I agree there will be some fading.

.Andrew there was a guy parting out a red coupe and he had black pieces. I don't know if he still has them on here...You know you will be hard pressed to find some one to trade for willow...you could get the headliner and stuff sueded black. get racing seats and have the rear seats recovered..A leather dash might be hard to do, order a black carpet....I'll keep my eye open around here..
Too bad Bat doesn't do a dash overlay..lol

That will be a good look if you can find the dash and keep your stock one in case you end up selling the G or trading it in. I think that is one of the reasons I try to refrain from doing permanent mods that cant be returned to stock.

^thanks Law! If anything i might just do the dark grey inserts since the dark grey already comes with the willow... it will look custom but at the same time it will be with stock colors... i definitly will get the trim wrapped in CF... if i do get rid of the car im sure someone would trade + cash... we shall see...
