JerryLH3 is on a distinguished road
Over the past two years, on all the OEM stuff, I've spent close to $2000. That's obviously an exorbitant amount of money to pay, but when I'm completely done with the car, I still will probably have less invested (wasted?) than other people spend on their car. I'm just spending mine in a different place as my power goals are very moderate.

The pictures I posted really don't do the car justice as to just how bad the interior was. Every vent on the car was broken, one A pillar was broken and they were both so faded they looked gray. The carpet was in poor shape behind the driver's seat. The center console had been drilled into to mount a crappy cup holder. The center radio/vent surround had lots of burn marks on it and the list goes on an on.

A lot of parts I have sourced secondhand, I just waited until I found something that was in great shape. The carpet I bought looked practically brand new. He said it was in a car that only had 70K miles on it. The cargo cover is nearly mint too to replace my crappy one. The interior will definitely look good once I am done with it.
