While I don't like red, your car is red. So I think it is great. You did really good work. How long did it take you?

You ask for idea on what to do next. My opinion would be to take the trip work, around the center (piece holding in the radio, air vents, ect.) the surrounding piece for the for the gauge cluster: and make then the same red as the console. With the great work you did have you thought about rewrapping the steering wheel?

As I said I dont like red but with your car being red, think it would be right on.

I think the either the whole interior should be red, or the whole interior should be black. I'm not feeling the half-and-half thing, but it's your car.

Use your best judgment, some people like a mix of colors some don't. Red is a very bold color and could very easily over power the interior. So use your judgment of what you like. You could use colored typed to see if you like it before you change it. Lot cheaper than changing it twice.

try a fabric store you'll be able to buy leather it's a little more expensive but it's alot softer and easier to wrap corners
