how much did it cost to change the carpets and steering wheel?
Did you have the dashboard changed as well?

Hi, its JDM STI Interior, Seats and Door cards with Blue carpet, I swapped my standard interior plus cash the sellers way, fitted by myself, I just had to put 3.3ohm resistors in the front seat airbag wires as the STi seats don't come with airbags. (To stop the airbag light staying on, on the dash) Steering wheel is from an STi version 9, I paid £160 for that complete with airbag and again fitted it myself. Only thing dfferent on the dashboard is the addition of some STi version 8 clocks, £100 and again fitted by myself. (Plug and play)

Don't think they look too bad on a black car, however I'm thinking about getting a set of black ones too

Speedo/dials are a 5 minute job tops (5 screws and 3 connectors) providing you have an adjustable steering column that is

I wish i had the money to buy an STi outright mate, but such is life. The mods are a bit of an investment as when i do get round to selling the car i will put the origional bits back on and sell the STi bits and bobs to boost my funds a little.

The mileage recording chip on the back of the speedo/clocks PCB will be getting changed over this weekend so it will be approx 70 miles out as thats all I will have done since changing them over. I will then swap the chips back when the time comes if I decide to sell the car without the new clocks in.
