An updated shot of my interior, I have a nardi now though and am working on some custom gauges.

This is what the NB SE interior should have looked like!
Got rid of that horrid slab of silver in the centre dash, added some shiny bits, different backlighting, much nicer. :mrgreen:

That does look amazing, Nevyn. Did you paint/dye the stero/hvac/lighter surrounds black? And is that chrome around the shifter and the shift knob new too?

Was initially done in gloss black vinyl dye, which didn't end up being very gloss, so overcoated with gloss clear coat. :wink:

Yes, and very nice it is too! :mrgreen:

I used to have that on mine, went through two of them before reverting back to an OEM boot. They kept splitting roughly 2 weeks after installing them, through normal daily use.. hopefully you have better luck though.

Hard to see but ive added different gauges that are American Muscle style, as i have always loved that classic simplicity look. And also sneaky Miata keyring, hazard and pop up light switches and vent rings

Soon to add bucket seats, roll bar and harnesses

Here's mine:

Nardi 330mm Deep Corn + test fitting 20cm bubble shifter

Another angle

Close up of gauge cluster

Trying to think of ways to spruce it up a bit.. The seats are the main drawback because of a few rips and stains.. Oh and mismatched floor mats!

Love the gauges and the wheel, but can someone explain this d*ldo 'bubble' gear knob (pun intended) craze to me?
Not saying I don't like it, but I do need some help understanding it.

Bought one for a laugh, and the ridiculousness of it! It makes shifting incredibly smooth, but the long throw doesn't suit the car imo.. much prefer the stock one.

They're used among drifters, and some people consider it a :JDM:

addition.. from what I understand :p

hey darkside, whats the story with that textured finish on the top of the door trim and the crashpad? looks cool, how'd you do it?

I just took them off, put contact adhesive on them and laid the denim over the top, made the car feel heaps more modern because i'd already replaced the door cards with ABS and it doesn't get as hot as the stupid vinyl anyways. Did the armrest in the center and the cubby hole too.

nice work mate! any better shots of the door cards?

What's this repeated love of dashmats? Are they hiding a/your crack?
