Default New black carpet installed & gated shifter pix

So I finally got around to taking off my nasty *** tan carpet (this was a pain in the *** because I had to take off the seats, which weigh like 70 pounds). My old carpet was so filthy! It had all kinds of spills from the last owner and weird sticky stuff, just plain gross. Anyways, I replaced it with some fresh black carpet from a 99 SC, so it's not brand new but it's new enough. Here's some pictures for you guys to enjoy, as well as some pictures of my newly installed gated shifter assembly and some miscellaneous stuff.

New carpet!

TRD horn emblem:


Steering wheel remote control for the Z2 (looks kinda tacky imo, but I use it so much that it's worth having it):


Anyways, more updates coming soon!

Yeah I know dude , I still gotta paint a bunch of little miscellaneous tan stuff to black, and then I have to install my EDFC, so it'll be a little bit until I get everything back together. Converting everything from tan to black is such a PITA, if black interior parts weren't so expensive, I would've just bought a whole black interior instead.

I got the new carpet from ebay, just bought it from some guy selling it on there. I am using folia-tec vinyl paint to convert my interior from tan to black. The steering wheel is from a Lexus IS300, and the airbag is from a Toyota Celica. I took that horn emblem from one of those TRD horns. It comes right off and I just placed it right in the middle. Fits perfectly.

good looking, I wish I had the time to switch my interior to black, but the amount of rips and tears in my seats is grabbing my attention first, then suspension..*sigh*...I need a raise.
