looks good, nice pics, only thing I would change would be the wood kit, it doesnt match the oem wood and there is too much of it, and the steering wheel and airbag dont match. I would have the black leather re wrapped in matching grey leather or switch wheels with someone

Looks good. Car needs to be lower. Agree with GS, too much wood.

What suspension are you running? What are the specs on your rim sizes? Overall impression is that it is a good looking car. Always had a thing for that blue. I do agree with gs300rich on the interior though.

As pretty much everyone else has said, the steering wheel is painfully out of place. The wheel fitment and tires are no-no, but you said you're trying to get rid of them.

I personally would have worked on the wheel and suspension set-up before buying all the trinkets (kintsuna, curtains etc...)

You have an awesome color to work with

Nice shots, the exterior looks great, the interior need some tweaking IMO Get rid of all that wood and match the steering wheel.

You have a nice platform for sure.I'm pretty new to the forum too.but, i've been building cars for a little while. Keep in mind everyone has different taste.i agree the tremendous amount of wood and the odd steering wheel combo, definately take away from alot of the awesome features of these cars.I personally like to start with the fundamentals, like, mechanics of the car,wheels tires,suspension/stance,paint and body,then interior,audio/visual.Also i like to believe that although there is a plethora of aftermarket parts available for our cars, not all of them are quality.I think alot of other enthusiast's of these cars will agree that one of the unspoken goals in modifying is to stay away from the super/extreme,(ricer if you will=])look.Or awkward backwards type styling. Ie: PRIMER IS NOT A COLOR!!-LOL. Good luck with the mods. Like that color. btw is the car salvage?(different steering wheel and bag.)although usually its the other way around, stock color wheel, different color bag.

If it was my car I would take off the wood trim kit. Then get rid of the yellow fogs, and get a bigger fusa.
