Well, i've never been much of a fan of the dated interior in the marauder so I've had my interior ripped apart for the last 4 months having different things done. Very happy how each individual piece that has been done turned out (actually effing amazed) but would like honest opinions for the community

Basically, had the dash wrapped in leather with a black double stitch, passenger airbag wrapped in suede, steering wheel and console redone (console not pictured), various interior parts grafted with carbon fiber. Its not all together yet but this is a general idea

They are iPhone pics and I have a lazy eye, so I hope they come out.

I Really like the CF surround around the speedo. That is nice. Mine is cracked, lower right corner as most of ours prolly is. How much did that set ya back?

Thanks for the comments. Its a journey!

The interior cf pieces is the water grafted / hydrografted process then sprayed with automotive clear coat. A local performance shop in Houston called fast lane turbo handled it for me....don't think it is the same as the cf pieces being offered by that G3 Composites but I'm not sure. Only thing I know is that the quality is top notch and the pieces have an almost 3-d look to them.

Right now, the carpet area of the console, steering wheel and passenger airbag are the only things suede, but I will be doing the headliner when $$ permits...trying to get my blown motor together!

The plan is also to have the dot matrix pieces done in a silver cf with the grey area that rubs done in solid black so there is a break in the design and contrast in color.

Cbt, I LOVE the steering wheel...my old one has 108k on it and it was like grabbing onto a steering wheel in an old 1950s pickup (thin, worn and cold). Now, it's actually feels like a performance steering wheel!

About 7 years ago when I really started to get into putting personal touches on my vehicles, I developed some good relationships with local family owned business that do a superb job in their fields (this was through a lot of trial and error and $ on my end). None of them are very fast with delivering products, but when I do get them they are OEM quality or better and most prices are very reasonable.

$100 OTD. I had the shop do a European stitch on the wheel, so I think that added to the cost because it is labor intensive and done by hand. It is the same type of stitch found in Audi, Porsche and BMW sport edition vehicles...let's see of this stitch comes out in a pic:
