Show me your insides

By popular demand from my recent threads regarding particular perspectives of vehicle photos, here's another....

Please photos of YOUR interior only. Some ideas (feel free to add anything that's interior related):

- New shift ***?
- GPS screen?
- Onboard computer screen?
- 9"+ flip down DVD monitor for the kids?
- Suede roof?
- How does your tint look from the inside (back windshield)
- Interior emblems?
- MP3 Player?
- IPOD dock?
- Bluetooth wireless thingamabob?
- Headrest monitors?
- Shots of one rear seat down and one rear seat up?
- What you put in your glove compartment?
- Other glove compartment/arm rest compartment modifications?
- Custom leather color?
- Enbroidered seats/headrests?
- New pedals?
- New foot rest pedal (dead pedal)
- Interior neons/LED's?
- logo or emblem on your rear sun shade?
- Pics of interior after a good leather treatment

Personally, I don't have any interior mods. I just have aluminum trim that came with the car. No biggy. Not worth a photo. I'll post my own pics when I get something worth you guys looking at (I'm thinking shy leather seats after a good wipedown with Armor All as I'm writing this).

GUIDELINES:
- Again, please give owners a chance to post pics of their own car. Do not post photos of other people's rides. Thanks!
- Discussions on someone's modification will inevitably unveil in this thread. It would be nice to discuss those specific mod questions/comments in their related threads. You may post links to those threads here however so people can navigate to it quickly but not be overwhelmed by interior stuff they're not necessarily interested in. Thanks!

WHY THIS THREAD EXISTS: Yes, there are ALREADY threads that have photos of interiors of our cars. But they're scattered everywhere under various topics and looking through it takes forever. This is a place where we can go to see interior shots only. It also let's people create new detailed closeup shots of the interior of their car that they may have never wanted to take otherwise. I know that's true for the other "Facelift and Butt" threads.

My infrared port on the drivers handle definitly does NOT make the windows go up and down when I hold the button. I was so excited about this because I constantly leave my sunroof cracked by mistake. Can I reprogram my remote to work properly!? :-D

You may have to try it a few times. press the button to lock or unlock. let go of the button, then push again. It took me 5x before it worked.

+1. Try the sensor on the other side of the car. You need to point the fob at the little square, from no more than about 10cm away. If that doesn't work, the sensor is dead. Had mine replaced under warranty.

I thought there was only one sensor. Anyhow, I'm assuming the sensor is DEAD because I stood there for a few minutes fumbling with the fob and couldnt get the windows to move.

i read the book and found what i needed earlier on pg. 243 "Summer opening feature" instructs you on how to use but never says anything about the "eye" having the need for replacement. i guess this isn't a common issue? :-P Lucky me!

Search for "Audio 10 Install" and that will tell you everything that you need to know.

OK, now some pix. My coupe is since gone, but it was my car and it had some interior changes. I had Designo Lava Red aluminum trim.
