Locobob's Interior Mod Thread

[Locobob]

Well I was posting some stuff in the Audio and Electronics section but it seems hardly anyone visits that section... plus I have acquired a serious case of "while I'm there" so things have gone way beyond just putting in a new stereo head so here we are with a new comprehensive thread.

Anyhow my current mod plans include:
Kenwood 470 stereo head unit
Back up camera
Switch panel in place of the forward cup holder
LED interior bulbs
Heated seats
Sound absorption interior foam
94+ door panels
New steering wheel
Carbon fiberish refinishing of dash panels

[Locobob]

Here is the new steering wheel: Momo Commando... hub kit wasn't in the box so I guess it is shipping separately.



Matches the factory red fairly well... I think it has a little less orange in it

love that wheel! looking to go "mod red" in my 95 ZR-1 and this is the bomb. kinda hate giving up the air bag but like Ron White says

"make sure you hit something hard, I don't want to limp away from this"

the way I drive the air bag isn't gonna make much difference!

also thinking of "doing away" with the valet key switch and just use a plain old c4 piece. I don't have secondaries and can just throw it behind the valence piece.

let me know how well the carbon fiber wrap works. like to try that too.

Nifty work on the toggle switches!

But I surely gotta' dis-agree with Mr. White on his air bag rationale; I hit one in a head-on - 55-0 in 0, NO EXAGGERATION, ALL ON THE POLICE REPORT, AND I LIMP, FOR LIFE (about 14.5 G's negative). Unlike the drinker tho', who's been recycled for 7 years now...

Just make sure you're @ 55+.......

Here is the sound deadening stuff from Vettenuts, it is pre-cut closed cell foam like stuff with foil backing - complete kit including doors - weighs almost nothing which is important to me.

Here is the switch panel I am putting together, it will be on/off for V1 radar detector with remote, gps hardwire, and the third switch is for later... not sure what just yet.

Here is the Kenwood H/U with PAC OEM-1 Bose adapter - going to try this with the Bose speakers for now and see how it works, also going to go ahead and pre-wire for an amp in case it doesn't work out so hot.

I'm going to refinish all the dash plastic in carbon fiber look from American Hydrocarbon. I decided it would be a bit of a crime to alter the rare and in great condition power key bezel sooooo... I created a ZR-1 bezel to refinish using a base 91 bezel. This involved a few trips to the hardware store... mostly plastic and JB weld.

What a great thread. This will be fun. I too, will be doing a radio this Winter.

Thanks for posting

Thanks, should be fun... haven't done a big walk-through thread in a while.
