The gauges were made by a company who is called Kroto, or should I say was....they are no longer in business so I have no idea where you would get them now.
You can get red faced dials from Speedhut. YOu can actually custom design your dials. You choose the backgorund color, EL or Reverse EL, the color the numbers light up (reverse EL), the font, any logos on the dials, etc.

Red dials are one of their options, for both EL and Reverse EL.

Gauges, Custom Gauges, Tachometers, Speedometers, Shift Light, Pod

However:

* Our cars are from the 90's... So we gotta keep them looking like a 90's sports car. There's different ways to style an interior for different aspects of tuning. Either for show, daily drivers or a restoration project.
I was about to say the same thing. Quality suede is far from "Ricer."

BMW, Audi, Maserati, Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Pininfarina, Alfa Romeo, Aston Martin, Abarth, Brabus, Volkswagon, Citroen, CRD, Ford, Heuliez, Honda, Lancia, Land Rover, Lexus, Maybach, Mercedes, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Seat, Skoda, Toyota and Volkswagen all come with Alcantara (one of the worlds top brand's of suede) on some of the interiors of their automobiles.

From headliners to full dashes to seats to doors to more, just about everything you can think of comes covered in suede in a car from one of the OEM's listed above. I'd hardly call that list above "mini-trucker rice."

Considering the full retail price for the top brands of suede (Novasuede, Alcantara, Automotive Grade Ultrasuede) is well over $100 a yard (think $150/yard + for some), I'd hardly call top qaulity suede rice.

Now cheap low end suede, I won't get into...

Custom fitment....just a matter of altering the stock s2k brackets really....a little snip here, and a weld there and voila..... thanks guys...I'm glad you like em. These seats look amazing and are very comfortable, and they hold you in nice and snug around corners and stuff

Love the S2k seats... I originally wanted to get some for mine, but I couldn't find a decent black pair that didn't cost an arm and a leg.

I had a set and sold them. They sat like an inch higher so you felt all up high in the car. If you're short it's cool though

Auto Custom Carpets (ACC) makes a full replacement carpet for the MKI. You can get it with the back panel, or without the back panel. I used ACC many times for custom interiors and carpet/floor mat replacements over the years, both in my personal cars and in customers cars. I still sell their stuff too, it's good stuff.

Here's their website. You can buy directly from them if you want too.

Auto Custom Carpets, Inc - Search

Here are the part numbers ( I used the year 1986 to pull the part numbers, but it should be the same for all MKI's):

Item #: 3577-86 CARPET 1986 TOYOTA MR2 CARPET COMPLETE
(2PC PASSENGER AREA WITH BACK PANEL.)
$262.53


Item #: 10669-86 CARPET 1986 TOYOTA MR2 CARPET PASSENGER AREA $221.01

They also make Floor Mats:

Item #: 9843-86 FLOOR MATS 1986 TOYOTA MR2 CARPET FLOOR MATS 2PC TO766
$88.56


They have 111 different colors, so you should have quite a few shades of gray to choose from. They will send you out 3 free color samples at a time, so you can verify the color you'd like before you order.

Here's the link: ACC original automotive carpet material in cutpile, loop, nylon, essex and more.

Click on "80/20 Cutpile" to view the color options (they have 12 pages of colors, 111 colors)

Wouldn't this be a matter of adjusting the seat brackets? Because I only have a few inches as it is, but I would love some s2k seats..

Now mine is almost factory black. It still has a few missing pieces but it's almost factory. I'm really hoping I can find some nice bride seats for it but I have to get the car running first. Your interior looks great.
