Default Interior Makeover

Hello to all. Have been a viewer of the forums for quite awhile. Picked up my C5 off eBay a few months back. Will post some exterior pics in this thread later as well. Interior was the typical black/tan and exterior is Nissan 350z blue (painted prior to my purchase). The interior was pretty destroyed so I wanted to do something different. Going with a Captain America theme (putting on flame suit). I have pretty much stripped the interior completely and will be putting everything back to black with the exception of a few panels that I will wrap myself. I will be needing new seats but I have not decided whether to go aftermarket or something factory. Advice/comments encouraged

Will be interesting to see how your interior turns out. Good luck with it.

Car Looks really nice on the Exterior, Love the Spoiler and the Hood,
You are very talented what you have wrapped already has turned out amazing.

My only critique is the Roll bar its going to look out of place and tacky painted like that compared to the wrapped items.

But that's only my opinion subscribing for more pictures.

Wow. I don't think I've ever seen a Captain American interior before.
Good luck with your project.
I like the hood.

Thanks for the critique! I thought about wrapping the roll bar but I thought that would look too tacky having it covered in material. Trying to do everything myself so powder coating wasn't an option. Once I put it all back together, I may end up wrapping it

Im definitely interested in seeing the final product. It's not my taste but I hope you like how it turns out. It certainly looks like you have some talent. Im guessing you don't ever plan on selling?

I've had quite a few sports cars but this is definitely my favorite! If I do decide to sell at some point .. I can always pull off everything I have done and re-wrap it back in black. I don't see that happening though!

Stan Lee would love this Vette! Probably the only one!

Sorry man! I like Capt America but thats a bit much

But here comes the famous "It's your car and as long as your happy, thats all that matters" line.
