Default Interior Designer???

Ok so even though that "320 hp" dude was a bust... that car had a nice interior(inmy opinion)
Anyone know how to do that kinda stuff?

KRYLON rattle cans... there are some good DIYs on other forums on how to reupholster your doors to suede.... I used the DIY to learn how to take off my door panels so i could install a rockford fosgate amp to my front speakers, dang, moogly is getting so smart!

Fiberglass is your friend. MDF and HD foam. Some Bondo, Paint. Its easy to do. That hard part is figuring out exactly what you want it to look like. Also, you have to take into account the massive amount of weight the anything fiberglass is gonna add.

Is there something specific that you wanted to know how to do?

no offense moogly but the only thing u should use a spray paint can on is small pieces not full interiors.. you will more then likely stripe the paint or it will just crack and fall off. fiberglass is the way to go lot of time sanding and preping for paint but def looks good and supplies are alot of money and time is even greater esp. for first timers. I think i had over 20 hours in sanding just by glassin the radio bezel. lots of time...
