The seat covers are terrible - the red painted interior isn't my thing but not bad ... The outside is very nice.

The car is pretty cool. The seats are terrible.

I'm 18, student budget, I wish I could but I don't really have the funds to buy new seats(The black seats underneath aren't too pretty; but I suppose they can be restored) but thank you two for your honest opinions.

Check on craigslist and ebay for some black or red take-off GT leather seat covers. They are a pain to change, but worth the effort. I've changed both of the cloth interiors on our 05 & 06 V-6 coupes to black GT leather. One cost $300 and the other I got for $235 shipped. There is a youtube video that shows how to install Roush seatcovers. The hardest part IMO is getting the old hog rings off the front seats. I used cable ties instead of hog rings to install the covers. They work great!

The seat covers definitely hurt your appearance. As suggested, check on craigslist or even the various forums and you might be able to pick up some take off leathers that will fit better and be within your budget.

Most completely overdo the interior paint job, your accents are better than most, although I'm not sure about the red accent on the shifter plate.

I've never been a fan of the all black wheel look - but it seems to be very popular. It's just not my taste, but it is your car and like I said it seems to be popular with others.

The shifter plate looks like a different colored red due to the sun beaming on that specific spot when the picture was taken. I will start looking for leather GT seats meanwhile.

Tailights look awful, but I never took to painting them.

Love the red outside and interior trim is not bad either.

Not a fan of all black wheels and tires in most cases, though I have seen some that looked OK.

I'm not a fan of highlighting interior trim, but then again, differences of opinion is what makes the world go round. As stated earlier, the seats are not attractive, and distract from the car.
