Interior Upgrades - my ideas - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I really would like to see what the Carbon Fiber interior pieces look like.. Also, will you be doing brushed Aluminium or billlet knobs, door pulls, steering wheel piece, etc?

Got a few ideas too:

-When the scion armrest comes out, I'll probably cut the skin off. If there's not enough cushion, I'll replace it, then wrap with a three piece skin. I'm thinking synthetic leather on the sides, with a piece of alcantara in the middle. Red thread french seams on both sides.

-Looking to wrap the cluster hood too.

-Working on possibly sputtering deposition for the silver trim piece in the middle. Trying to get a brushed aluminum look (low gloss, actual "cold" metallic touch to it).

Would love the Alcantara shift boot and hand brake boot.

Man that's going to make a huge difference to the interior.

Can't wait. Came from an Audi and my thoughts were, the interior is cheap. Money was spent on just the items that count. Steering wheel, seats... Everything else is the cheap Toyota/Honda plastics.

It is the Subaru STI Titanium piston shift knob for Subaru 5MT cars. I modified the plastic insert to adapt to the BRZ.

I will post up more pitures when I get the Alcantara shift boot installed from JPM. Once I get the prototype pieces in, I'll post a review thread of Alex's products.

Any progress on the pedals? Planning on reviewing those? Although I like the stock pedals, I find the spacing between the brake and throttle a little too far for me to heel-toe. I've been looking around for a better/wider throttle pedal, too bad they got rid of those pre-production pedals with the slight "kick-out" for the heel.

I was thinking of just unplugging the clock, gutting the buttons and covering over that panel with a strip of carbon fiber (real or vinyl), unless there's a way to actually replace the internals with red numbers...

I have not done and have no current plans for pedal modicication. My review will be of JPM's alcantara boots only. They are still working on the shifter boot, hince why I have started a new thread with a formal review.

Thanks for the interest!

Here is the thread I started to discuss the JPM Coachworks Prototype boots installed on my vehicle:
