Default interior opinion wanted

right now I have a stock interior. its the tan/ivory color that comes with the heather mist / "dirty silver" exterior color. I wanted to get some kind of dash kit to add some more flavor to the interior, but don't really care much for wood grain... do you think the brushed aluminum stuff would look good with my interior? is there any other style you recommend (other than wood grain)?

i say ... if you want to save a $100 or so ... detach the parts you wanted "dirty silver" and paint it yourself. i've seen this done and it looks great. just go to home depot, and get some primer and paint and you're set.

It's a really iffy color to do anything to, I would recommend finding a junked car and grabbing some black interior from a wrecked car.

If they made it that year, I think they did - but don't quote me.

Doing custom interior work is easy, especially painting. I helped a friend do his a few years ago...simple. Just be patient with it....apply the paint in layers. If you do it in one coat, it looks like junk.
