The 01-02 clusters are extremly lame. Repinning them isnt that hard, I went from 01 to 04 cluster. It is soooo nice at night, it really adds some serious bling factor to your interior at night, and even during the day with the varaiable brightness- I hooked mine so its illuminated with lights off as well.
Yeah, I may undertake that project. So much to do.
Yeah, so I pretty much figured out what I wanted to do. I want to have the rear seats reupholstered with the jacquard fabric that sparco uses on the torino 2 seats. So I went and picked up black and grey fabric from the shop that's a sparco dealer.
Turns out the grey is like 3 shades off from what's on my seats. Reason is, the fabric was made for the original torino and the color is different from that and the torino 2. So, now I have to figure out what to do.
I can still use the black, regardless. But I was going to do door inserts with the grey, can't now, too much contrast from the seats. As far as the back seats, I'm not sure if I can get away with it or not. I don't know if anyone would notice the contrasting colors at a glance.
I would make it easy and get the right fabric from sparco but they informed me that they don't have the matching fabric for the torino 2 and they "may" be getting it sometime this year and that's all they could or all they would tell me.
The jacquard fabric in that design and color is not going to be easy to find. So I have a few options; go all black, go with the fabric I have for the back seat, go with a different style of grey fabric.
Well, when you're dealing with custom seat covers, its not going to be cheap once, let alone twice....
Not to mention the fabric may not be available at all....
The fabric roll is actually about 3 or so shades darker. Hard to see with the flash lightening everything up.
reading > me...i thought you were only doing the door panels....nvm. i'd just wait, or hold onto everything for a month or so and see if the fabric becomes available.
Another idea, hook up your map lights to come on when opening the doors. It'd be a different mod, but you probably wouldnt score many points unless the judges really know our cars.
You can do the headliner too- that adds some flare. There are pics my headliner when I had it done in the "custom headliner" thread. Match that to your seats and it'd be pretty sick... or just use the fabric that you picked up for the rears for it- nobody could really tell they are a few shades off.
