Gen 1 interior upgrades- Opinions please

[ViperJames]

Hey Guys. I have been upgrading/customizing my GEN 1 interior. It's the 95 Tan/black......I want to see what some of you guys have been doing to make it look nicer....Replaced Dash instead of those silly carbon fiber/aluminum stickers to lay over. Got all the MGW parts, got the aluminum door handle surrounds from Jon B. and just got the Polished. brushed alum door cups.....Any other thoughts???? PICS would be great...I will post some better pics once the door cups are here..THANKS!!

You need to get a hold of Chad at Snakehydes interiors. Try [email protected] or 850-209-3133. He did mine and many others. He is the best around, period!

I also have the Black and Cognac in my 95, I changed the carpets to black, seat bolsters to black as well as replacing the fuzzy carpet on the bottom of the door panels with perforated black vinyl to match the seats. Check it out in my photos...

ACTUALLY CHAD ***** COMPARED TO VENZANO IN MICHIGAN.

Ooh oh ...another CAPS CLOWN...

Yep, knucklehead for sure. Chad's work is second to none and his prices can't be beat!

i think what twinturboed is trying to say is "people who are stuck on paying extra for name brand....call venzano, i hear they are running a special on viper tax %110!!! For a great interior at an even better price, call Chad (850)209-3133, I am now on my second viper, SNAKE HYDES in both cars. The only thing to beat his quality is his prices.

Here's some ideas, what I am going thru right now:
- removed the complete grey interior.
Updated:
- Dash will be painted red with white stripes going thru it, just like the remaining car.
- Black leather seats, HEAVY red stiching on seams, no piping, embroided Sneaky Pete, lower cushion has a hole for 6 point red Schroth seat belts
- Black leather bolsters and center console, red stiching
- Lower part of the door (the fuzzy part)replaced with leather.
- A pillar pod with boost gauge and Pyrometer
- Jeff Lemke doorcups, shiny
- Zero Altitude door handles

No pictures, everything is in pieces right now...

actually venzano uses real leather not some fake gaudy cheesy crap.Even see his website? [******].Chad is too busy posting his ugly ass mug in between trailer trashes **** on the other site.

Quite inappropriate for a twelve year old to talk about ****....

Since you may be "new" at this site, PLEASE do a search before ordering anything from Elite...

I thought suede in the middle section (seats), but just like suede shoes, they look awesome, but only for few first days. Suede tends to wear out and starts to look "polished", giving it an ugly luster. For a showcar, it would be great option!

Regarding Zero Altitude: http://www.zero-altitude-flight.com/

AllI know is that when I e-mailed Chad about the possibility of doing work for me, he took the time to respond. Venzano never returned phone calls of e-mails. Nuff said.

 

[ViperJames]

Thanks a bunch for all the great responses. You guys are great. I look forward to seen the NY/CT, NJ guys at upcoming events!

A gentleman locally redid my interior about 3 or 4 years ago. Still holding up quite well too. Here's a link to a pic of it:

His name is Dennis and the business is DeWeese Upholstery in Amelia, OH. I think he charged me around $1400 to redo the interior in leather (that does not include the dash, which I bought from Tator and installed myself).

That looks great! I think on a red or black car that type of seatin looks GREAT, on mine, i think i am leaving my seats alone...the Green/Tan should be a little more simple i think...BTW the shine on your car is GREAT.

VERY NICE INTERIOR!!! Looks great in your very nice red Gen 1.

Do you have anymore pics of what the interior looks like from out side the car looking in. possibly with most of the car in them. I trying to decide if I like the red interior enough to do it on my own car. Thanks
