350Z Interior Conversion, whataya think? Options

[flipside97LTD]

I really would like to redo my interior sometime in the distant future. I've seen the inside of the nissan 350Z and it has some very nice features. I'd like to fiberglass some of these pieces and custom fit them into my interior. Here's a link. On the link click on the 360 view of the interior to get an idea.

Nissan 350Z Interior

I like the shift boot assembly, the gauges in the dash, the speedometer (although i'll probably get doggy's ) and the door handles.

So what are your thoughts? Has anyone seen any cool interiors or have any good ideas, or pictures?

I think the hardest part would be brackets (that hold down the dash) and the climate controls, not sure if they would really be reworkable...

But if you really wanted to rework the climate controls I'm sure most cars work the same, atleast for stuff like the temp control.

Yea my idea would be to just take the pieces that I really like a glass them into the car. I probably wouldn't try to convert the entire 350z interior over. I really like the inside door handles, but it would be tough to get the rods inside the door to connect to the lock and outside handle.

I have seen some real cool stuff done with hotrods before. Look on the net for some pictures of concept cars interiors, and that might be the way to go. I noticed the trend now is spun aluminum instead of the carbon fiber craze of 5 years ago. You know i gotta do some whacky stuff to my interior once my exterior is done.

I agree. I think the next thing in tuner cars is gonna be more hot-rod'n. Like chopped tops and sectioned cars. Where's a good place to find concept car pics?

one more thing, I hate our steering wheels, but i think its important to keep the air bag. Wish we could do something with that. Maybe another toyota wheel like mr2, scion, etc

That's a good idea. I'm working on a scion at work right now. I'll check the steering wheel tommorrow and see. Great ideas though.


My real vision is to completely gut the interior. Dash, seats and trim, back seats, middle console, almost everything. Then completely redesign the inside using parts of the oem interior to shape the glass, and just molding in whatever parts i can find from whatever cars I like. ex. 350Z

I'd kinda like to make the middle console to be glassed and then extend towards the back area where the back seats would be and make a wall of ICE and neon.
