need to "spiff up" interior

Ok....all my hard work on my car is bacially exterior. I need some help on the interior. I want an more clean look and I don't know what to use to paint over the wood, I want a new shiftknob, my guages aren't "glowing", my foot slips on my pedal that my friend gave me, and overall my interior is boring......HELP!!!

I have found that hanging a pine-scented tree from the rear-view mirror does wonders for enhancing the look of any car :yack:

I recomend that neon chit to light up the foot wells. Your feet will be illuminated and it should help with them not slipping... The glow reflected off your face will be mirrored on your gauges. Fo sho, you can't go wrong with the pine tree air freshner sugestion. That chit is tripple dope!

I say if you are going for a luxury image keep the fake wood and get the wood shift knob. If you want to go sporty paint the fake wood a brushed aluminium color and get a sporty shiftknob. I'm not big into neon lighting, a little to rice for me. I could see indiglo gauges, however.

I wouldn't go that far..........I don't have a ton of engine mods, but I certainly wouldn't consider my car rice......




Just because somebody doesn't have tons of engine mods doesn't mean they are a ricer. I have plenty of suspension mods, but the engine is basically stock besides intake and headers and exhaust.

It's an auto RSX shift knob. How can you get the wood trim to look like brush aluminum? Go to the dealer late at night and strip and 03 CL for it
