Figures, I seem to have expensive taste. I'm looking for carbon fiber...

I am not really into the carbon fiber thing, especially on an older car. Maybe on a few parts of the interior but I am going to be redoing everything inside. And I don't really want to paint the interior, I would feel much better if I just swapped out all the parts..

Now that would be a good idea. I may actually check into that and see how expensive that stuff is. I just want to get the car painted before I do anything major to the interior. And hopefully I will be getting some nice money to me when I get back to the states...

Yeah right now my car is not in the best of shape but I was working on it before I left. Whoever owned the car before me did not treat it very well, but somehow there is only one dent on the entire car and it is not that bad. But I am not really into the white car thing and I like the silver/blue color, and brown does not go with blue all that well so I figured I would replace my interior to black and be happy..

My car was from my cousin who had put it on a trailer to junk it. There's one small rust spot abou 1/2 in.x1 in. other than that its perfect. So I "stole" it for $10.
