Interior redeaux... opines?

[Osiris_x11]

Inspired by the fuzilov's U.K. NSX-R that I spent time around years ago & Nero Tenebre's '95 NSX-T I got to chillax in during the fall '11 NSteXpo'craze, I am now looking to personalizing the interior! Thought I'd think out-loud along w/ get ideas & suggestions by others in the community.

For context, here are my NSX details...

I'm content w/ my NSX's exterior/styling [Berlina black, NSXClear + ClearCorner side-markers, bronze/polished Volk SE37k + gun-metal Advan AVS Model-5 (depending on the season), tints] & performance/handling [Tein RA, NSX-R chassis & anti-sway bars, GT-Extreme exhaust + CT headers + DF AIS & Uni filter + KingMotorsport BBTB, '97+ brakes (refinished in fire-orange), 6spd. + OS-Giken LSD + 4.44 final-drive].

Only changes (from stock) to the interior [ebony] have been Zanardi-edition floor-mats, NSX-R shift-boot/plate + Gruppe-M shift-knob + CT short-shift, AutoVation aluminum race-pedals.

Here's what I'm aspiring towards, interior-wise...

- DIY dark-red stitching (dash, firewall, door trim/panels/armrests, etc)

- DF NSX-R seats (Mugen scarlet-red or charcoal/dark-graphite Alcantara)

- MovIT NSX-R carpet (red NSX-R loom kit, red floor-mats w/ custom "NSX" engraved plaques)

- black, perforated ultra-suede door-inserts

- RM-Racing/GT-One harness bar (grey powdercoated) + red Sabelt 4-point camlock harnesses

- Pioneer AVIC F500BT in JDM nav. pod + self-powered low-profile sub (mounted underneath glovebox -or- behind seat on firewall)

- Type-S steering wheel + low-profile hub + quick-release

- conversion to LED bulbs (white, red, and U/V)

- integration of some sort of shift-light + Valentine V1 concealed-display


FWIW, all the "changes" above are completely reversible. So returning back to stock would not be an issue, likewise if I was compelled to do even more changes.

Would the interior seem overly-contrasting w/ the stock black dash/firewalls & panels/trim, red carpet/trim, stock grey A/B pillars & headliner? I'm not really keen towards re-wrapping the pillars & headliner (w/ ultra-suede).

Any other things I may have overlooked or omitted? I'm not big on CF, so I haven't included any such changes. I'm also considering machine-finish instrument cluster gauge rings & titanium gun-metal ceramic aluminum door-handles.

I'm worried about the black & grey conflicting. Got any photos of your current interior?

grey pillars/headliners w/ red carpet & black dash/trim?

It's an NSX-coupe stock ebony interior! No other changes (as of now)...


EDIT: actually, the more I think about it - it ain't too bad! I have an Accord w/ stock grey interior (dash/trim is dark charcoal/anthracite, namely black for all intents & purposes; the stock A/B/C pillars & headliner are light grey, almost identical to the stock NSX A/B pillars headliner color), I got dark-graphite interior leather-conversion done (the seats, etc) which looks more-or-less black (like my current NSX ebony seats, and planned DF NSX-R seats in charcoal Alcantara). The look is rather fetching if I might say to. Now, the question is if the red carpet swap in the NSX will that be the hue that over does it?


Decisions, decisions...

red seats + red carpet

or

charcoal/graphite/anthracite seats + red carpet

I'm having trouble picturing what the charcoal/graphite/anthracite seats look like, but red/red sounds ok and black/red is an existing color scheme so you probably can't go wrong there.

Here's what a charcoal/dark-graphite/anthracite coloured DF NSX-R seat would resemble for the most part. Pretty much identical to black, but duller.

The red DF NSX-R seats- in'particular Mugen scarlet-red are beyond delish! Dunno if I can handle red seats 24/7-365...

Umar,

Does your current interior state have ivory?

Nice! I think those would complement your interior colors nicely.

That would be flashy for sure, but if anyone can pull it off it's you Texans. After all, isn't "Dallas" returning to the big (home) screen soon?

I wanna add a beverage-cooler...

No ivory, G'. Just a factory ebony interior!

Admittedly, there's crazy swagger in the great state of Texas!

My question is if you actually do all of this, will you then start washing your car more frequently than once every 5 or 6 years? :biggrin:

dirt protects from more dirt, right?

Negative. It'll get dirty again!

Actually, you'd be impressed w/ my auto-grooming over the past year or so! Perhaps your OCD has rubbed off, a bit. I'm not using a toothbrush on the suspension yet (like some... *cough-cough*) but I got a neat system going to keep the bird fly!
