my interior re-design
 

i changed it up a bit.

all wrapping and stitching was done by Overland Designs (www.overland-designs.com). fabrication and etc done by me.

first of all, i hated not having an armrest so the OEM armrest was a must. then i was really not happy with the fact that there isn't enough cubby room/holes in the car, nowhere to put my phone, etc etc. so i decided to change it up and make this interior more to what I like and would want.

i unded up relocating a few things. here is so far what is done:

1) push start went where heated seats were. (Sti pushbutton/AUS black buttons)
2) Heated seat went infront of shifter by each seat
3) cut out the limited din thats next to push start button, cut and molded it to fit center console.
4) Add genuine leather kneed pads and speaker pads.
5) since push start was moved, the bigger Premium brz din was added for more room.
6) Mold center trim into one piece, genuine Alcantara wrapped by Overland Designs (www.overland-designs.com)
7) Alcantara hvac surrouns
8) Alcantara vent rings
9) Alcantara and Red stitched Center Vent trim
10) Alcantara and Red stitched e brake boot
11) Red Alcantara with black stitching Shift boot
12) "Black Jack" powder coated @Anarchy Motive knob with aluminum reverse lockout.
13) Perforated Alcantara door cards where em plastic perforated is
14) red GT3 pullstraps (door lever delete) with perforated alcantara block off plates
15) Alcantara and Red stitched cluster hood
16) dual clsuter 52mm gauge pod made by me.
17) Alcantara re-wrapped OEM wheel (pending)
18) E90 cupholders molded into passenger dash (pending)


here is where it started, and what it turned out like. i molder glued and did the relocating. Its wrapped by Overland04 (nasioc name) and the fabric is genuine blakc alcantara from JPM.

i will update once everything is in the car, let me know what you think.

part 3:

starting to clean it up. went with the STi blue edition button, picked it up at the local dealership and then painted the ring gloss black. now i need to figure out what to do with the shift knob, copper is no longer appealing to me.

i'm leaning towards some sort of shade of black, but honestly i don't know for sure, but the copper has to go.

Decided to go with a red boot.

Looks sweet!

This looks awesome, can't wait to see everything done.

Um...wow.

I've been considering doing Alcantara wraps myself as well. Can you comment on the process or difficulty of doing so?

Looking Mighty Schwing!

Very impressive, can't wait to see the final installed pics and everything

-Nick C.

This makes me for sure that I will be wrapping my speaker pads, knee pads, center console and gauge hood. It should do well with the new Carbon stuff going in soon.

Whoa whoa whoa.. your VSC/TC buttons.. Did you paint them?

Wow!! Impressed :w00t:

Those should be the OEM Australian Black buttons. I want some quite badly :)

Ivan, that looks amazing, great work! :)

Thanks,
Rick

i told you to stock up on them...i think that should be the next item you unvail, because sourcing them and waiting months is not fun.

btw rick, how hard was it to rewire the toms tails...DO WANT.

Yeah I know we are looking into it, not too sure how far we have got with them yet.

And the Tails were super easy to re-pin, I think it took me about 15 minutes total and that included the testing to make sure I had the pins correct lol. Let me know if you have any questions on them :)

Thanks,
Rick

Interesting....interested to see how it all turns out installed.

wow very impressive.

Very nice!!

i got one question, how do i get them for free? :lol:


i'll most likely pul the trigger on them over winter, got other priorities now :thumbdown:

You will have to swing by and sweet talk JT :lol:

I also have plans to run these on my car, but like you I may hold off for a bit to focus on other areas. :)

Thanks Ivan!
Rick

Where did you order the OEM console from? That's on my list but sources are limited.

Looks good!

Chad

Hey man,

We met at Subaru of Cherry Hill and you were in the beginning stages. Looks good!

Just wow... want to see installed pics

looks awsome... in for finished product...

Is there a little black button/switch at the very front section of the center console (the plastic bits you pull out from under the kneedpads). If so what is that used for?

Naws.

You got some balls to rip into the parts like that! came out looking great. I like that you made the dash 1 piece.

U did a great job and I like ur ideas.

you should come by and help me out with my car some time ;)

Nice Job Ivan - looking forward to seeing the completed install. You should consider making some money off of this as a product/service offered to others. I bet a lot of folks on here would be happy to throw their wallets at you for something like this. Hell, we've thrown our wallets at others for less!

By the way, any worries about accidentally hitting the Engine Start button since it's right there in the middle of the center console? Perhaps you could go with a safety cover sort of like the Aventador:

Or if you're into covered toggle switches:

http://www.nfauto.co.uk/images/oct06...itch_panel.jpg

didn't buy oem console, just ripped my stock one out and said fuck it. :lol:

hey hey hey!

yes, thats the toggle switch for my footwell LED's

hmm...SURE!

dont throw anything at me! :lol: i guess if some people were interested i COULD do this, but honestly i'm not into this to make money, i'd be happy to help out though.

i drove around for a few day with the button in place, and honestly i dont see myself hitting it. however that a-vent-a-door button looks so damn sexy..damn you for giving me ideas, time to see if i can get my hands on one, or if i can make a flip up like that. but honestly i dont think i need it because the button requires some presure to press, if seomthign were to hit it or anyhitng i wouldn't shut the car off. its not really an issue for me ESPECIALLY because i have the armrest so that raises everything an inch or so ya know?

-ivan

You won't turn the car off from 1 press of the button when the car is moving. I have tested the button a few times on the highway and in my neighborhood and it takes 3 presses to get the car to shut off at anything faster than 0, basically.

Yeah, I guess with the arm rest there, you've got an extra layer of protection. I just know that I (or my passenger) have hit the seat warmers on accident before but I don't have an arm rest.

That flip cover button is definitely damned sexy. If it helps to make you desire it more, you should know that it's an anodized aluminum piece that flips up with a smooth precise motion. The thing belongs on a jet fighter. Let me know if you find something like it!

Good to know - never actually tried it myself so I wasn't sure! Thanks!

thats AWESOME news. i was actually going to try this as the car was moving. now if there was a way to put it in ACC without turning it off and pressing the button again...

my friends think they are funny and turn my heated seat on, sometimesi dont notice. but now i'll notice everytime because of where i relocated hte buttons :lol:

...i found a few places to source this button, maybe i'll do it its not THAT expensive, but i JUST had the interior wrapped so i'd have to recut everything...and then re wrap and genuine alcantara isn't cheap....but my god that would be so sexy if i can pull this off...okay if anyone can find the pin out diagram for the brz push start and somehow find the aventador pin out...i'd love you :lol:

Looks great! Many props to you for clean work.

yeah man i mean if your willing to come by me or i can come to you, i'll supply alcoholic beverages and food if needed :) :happy0180:

I want to relocate my push start to the same location!

some of the best int work on this car to date!

@Foobar okay so...aventador pushstart button is $200.

aventadoor trim that surrounds the button+flip up red metal thing..which is a small bezel is...wait for it....$2,500. are you fucking shitting me :lol: i'll stick to my red brz button

I meant the Armrest, not console, sorry.

Looks great Ivan. Can't wait to see it in person.

LMAO wtf. Screw that! Can it work without the trim? I'd go for $200
