If you really want to go custom then do what I did with my 2017 Miata. I had to make the carpet myself and then added red leather seats

You can get pretty creative with plastic panels. It's all a matter of time and money.

WTF!! Too busy.. too many textures, too much grain variation, too much bad taste.. too much excess.. too much trying too hard.. too much retro..

My idea is flattening out the dash where the air vent is in the middle BUT creating something to get air out still. I have the halo 9 installed so I’m expecting a look similar to this with the leather and vent area bit flattened https://www.carsguide.com.au/car-rev...oad-test-44643 OR JUST google Mercedes A Class interior from 2016. Extra ideas are possibly getting the centre console on full leather or gloss black similar to the gr supra and a decent armrest because I just have a hole for cups right now.

Please do list other ideas as well!
I want to keep this car for a good time, so keeping it looking more updated would be amazing.
you'd need to start by stripping the plastic dash out and figuring out where the crash structure starts and stops behind it--because i wouldn't modify that on my own car, no matter how much you offered to pay me.

good luck! i haven't seen any custom dashes that don't look like something out of a Handyman magazine.
