Default Check Me Out. Watcha Think?

Just wanted to share some pics of my newly finished SC mods. I recently picked her up and couldn't wait to add some unique touches. I joined this community and searched out many mods but thought I'd try out something a little different than what I'm used to seeing. Let me know what you all think?

1. Color matched the interior woodgrain and console (Diamond White Pearl)
2. Sprayed rims a Black with Gold Mica. Looks black until the sun hits 'em right

92 SC300 with 97 front

Before:


Interior Laid Out:


Interior Sprayed:


Interior Back In:


New Shoes:


Shoes Prepped:


Shoes Sprayed: 1 off color mixed




Shoes Revealed:


Sittin Now: Pics don't do justice

Yeah the white in the interior is a bit too much. I would have gone with a darker contrasting color. The wheels look great. Now grab some side skirts and keep it fresh.

Could you post more interior pics, please? The one you have doesn't show up very well against the daylight/shoplights and I'm curious what it looks like...

Original finish on the wheels looked much better.

^ agreed, original finish looked more sporty.

Now the wheels look like ADR's.
