So I havnt had any time the past few months to get anything special done....been real busy with school and work. But I making an effort to have the interior done asap. Ill be pulling the dash, SEM'ing that, and sueding everything else underneath it. I have a little surprise for the existing wood trim.

On a side note, the carputer is completed and running great!

A little too much suede for my tastes as well, looks like a giant pillow... but man, the labor alone gets an A+

I never thought SEM would look that good. As far as the suede goes, I think its a great touch.

The only thing that has ever scared me of changing out my interior is the fact my A/C doesn't work. I live in San Diego so its never been an issue, but this build is inspiring me to fix it.

Absolutely supurb job, evileagle!

I must confess, I have never liked black interiors. I feel like I'm getting into a coffin. But what you have done here with the suede has got my mind spinning with the possibilities for my own ride. And your execution is spot on.

Glad you decided to go all suede instead of how you began the project with the paint.

Sorry guys, I've been super busy with 2 jobs so I havnt been able to do much. The next month or so should be interesting as I am ordering my 1J, finishing up my JL 12w7 setup (carputer is finished), and finishing sueding up the interior and painting the dash....

Im probably gonna get started this weekend with the rest of the interior stuff....ill post pix then.

just one 12W7? Should have upgraded to a 13.5, we put ONE in our old boat, with a 1000/1, and it was amazing.
