Interior designs

Would this be worth the buy, or jus easier to plastidip the interior?

I think it looks cheap. I order them in white and tried one section. I quickly retuned it and got my parts painted. It was a lot of work, but uninstalled and reinstalled all the parts myself took them to a painter and paid him 250 for everything.

Looks a lot better!

Yes I did the labor work to save money. Then took the parts to a professional body shop to have them painted.

If I have the 1lt do I have the same interior? I've seen some dashes that look like plastic while my car has softer almost mesh like fabric...don't really kno how to explain it.

But do I have to buy covers for the parts instead of painting them?

Honestly the only hard part was the wheel. I had to disengage the air bag first. If you don't k ow what your doing its hard but I learned from the DIY section of camaro5 and now I bet I could do it I half the to e if I had to again.

Very easy with a trim tool. I have fabric on my door and long trim across the dash. I ripped it off the body shop cleaned it up and painted them.

That seems very cheap for paint it looks good though very nice. I spent like 250 on my dash for leather plus like 300 labor most if my paint cost 150 for the gauges, steering wheel and center console

Are those stickers that go on top of the parts?

no you dont have the same interior as the 2lt or 2ss. It is hard plastic not the mesh fabric in your car. and idk if you could paint yours, i would doubt it but im not one to say if you can or cannot
