I know that's what I said too, but it always is something or another with this car. Soon as I get one thing fixed something else gets fucked up. I just finish fixing my starter on Sat after it having to sit for a week. SMH

Future Plans for the Interior:
1) Repaint my shifter bezel matte black again
2) Find a new shifter without woodgrain & remove the last piece of woodgrain on the shifter
3) Get the top part of the dash dyed black & replace black air vents with OEM tan ones
4) Black Carpet
5) Redo Sun Visors & Headliner (it's sagging again)
6) Black Leather Rear Seat
7) 10" Infinity Bass Link subwoofer for the trunk
8) New tweeters (thats why the trim is missing for the mirrors)
9) Rear Door speakers (at the bottom)
10) Install my Diamante Rear Dome Lights that I've had for almost 2 years! LOL!
11) Black Armrest
12) Black 3G Steering Wheel

That's All Folks!

They are staying black. These are the Mirage LS mirrors which were originally body color (silver) from the donor cars I got them from, unlike the other mirage models where they come black with black trim. I got these specifically because I wanted a completely paintable surface and to have them painted matte black to match the wheels. That way it won't get that faded scratchy black look after a while from aging.

Well you sir have a nice car. i am going to have to grab me some of those 2nd gens

I like the interior. I would add the panel to the immersion print, in the same style. For example dark red wood or light walnut. It will be in harmony with your black inserts. Think about it...

LOL, the inscription Galant, this in order not to forget, for a car ride? I think this is unnecessary.

I had woodgrain before if you look in the past pages, I wanted a change now. I had an extra set of "GALANT" letters and decided to put them there to use up the empty space. I like it, that's all that matters to me.

Yes, of course, you are the owner of a car and do what you like. You don't like the carbon on the panel?

I'm not sure what you mean by "immersion print" or "carbon on the panel"...

Oh I see what you mean now, maybe in the future. I'm on the fence about doing CF it's been done so much already...

I'm not talking in terms of just Galant's but with imports in general. It's just not as appealing to me as it used to be. I had originally thought of doing these pieces in CF that were painted black, but decided against it.

Just need to drill new holes for mounting bolts and splice into existing wiring. Pretty easy.

I don't actually, it's the same as installing the accord mirrors. G-Spot made a tutorial thread for both, you can check those for reference...
