I love it! Also, is that a tv on the dash or navigation system? Makes the car look newer than what it really is with that and the leather wrap.

The headunit is an Eclipse AVX2404. It is primarily a CD/DVD/MP3 player with touch screen control. It does have 3 video inputs though: navigation, AUX and capture. Capture is used to load images for background screens like this one of my boost gauge:

This is the thread with all of the details. It'* a 2 DIN unit installed in a modified 1.5 DIN dash. Lots of fun.

I researched this a while back. I found one company on the 'net that does this kind of work. They quoted me $260 to restore it to factory condition. Even more if you want perforated leather, carbon fiber inserts, ect. After I finished, I had a new found respect for them charging this much but still would have never paid that much. Here'* their website if you want more information:

Hey, randman, do you have a CarDomain page?
If you do you oughtta add a link to your sig.
That wheel is sick, I'm thinking of doing a two-tone(factory graphite/slightly lighter grey) interior myself. I may filch your design, but probably in suede.

It'* funny that you ask. I started one a couple of hours ago. Click on the www link below any of my posts.

I considered suede myself. I couldn't find any that had some sort of backing and it was a little thin. I didn't look too hard though so I'm sure it is available.

Let me know if you have any Q'* if you decide to go ahead with the mods.

CmptrNerd: I'd trade.. if it had my body style, with an */C under the hood. And a transmission that could take it. I'm not much of a fan of the interior door panel scheme nor the seats- they just look different from mine [even though they are]. Plus the body lines don't do it for me.. although TWM'* former '92, now Kenn'* does it for me. That is probably the only one that does.
