Looking for a crazy DIY
Hey peeps, I’ve owned my 2017 Toyota 86 for 3 months, this had been my dream car for years BUT one thing that never attracted me was the outdated interior. I’m wondering if anyone has seen, done or thought about doing the maybe unthinkable.
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. |

Just glue a 20" flatscreen sticking up from the dash and it will be as modern as everything else out there right now.

I actually like the interior but then again, I was a teenager during the 90s cars that we all know and love so I've never minded it (except in american cars where everything looked like bulbous plastics). It's a KISS type approach I can appreciate. If you're going for minimalism... yeah, a car like the Model 3 has it in spades but it's missing all of the fun that makes the 86 a driving focused car. The only wacky interior mods I've seen in the 86 have been starry night headliners and alcantara wrapped everything lol. I hope you end up just making what you want!

A friend in Florida put a lot of money into her 86. My favorite part of the whole car is the top of the door. They pulled the old piece off and wrapped it in leather and added the stitching for a nice, classy look.
Post is from Instagram if you want to see the whole car. I highly recommend it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

You should go for a Lotus Elise aesthetic.
