I've been thinking about stripping the interior of my GTA. The interior is pretty much crap. I only paid $1250 for it though.
I wanted to strip it out, put down black carpeting and headliner, put in 2 black racing seats, and spray paint the grey interior plastics black. (Flat black is the theme) I wanted to build a custom console just big enough for the shifter and locate the window buttons to a panel, attached to the dash.
I am aiming for a race car, more brutal looking approach to the car. I want to remove the rear seats and make room for a small roll cage.
So post some pics of stripped interiors, preferably 'birds.

Well I have not remove 100% of my interior but for the picture up above if that as much as you want out then it's pretty easy your just be removing the center console, then the seats and then the carpet give or take the door guard things. I say the only thing I had a problem with was accidently unbolting the shifter and not just the center console. Now if you’re going for the back you'll have to remove the side plastic panels.

I can't remove the back seats, how do I go about doing this?
Also the back seats hook up to those black metal pegs attached to the sides. I can fold the seats down but what tool do I use to remove the black pegs? I can't remove the platic panels without this piece out.
Theres a nut on the outside bottom corner of the seats(lower right side for drivers, lower left side for pass). I think it's 13mm. Undo that then pull the seat towards the outside to get it off the pivot rod. real easy, just sometimes the nut is hidden by the fabric

The split bench style is removed by removing the nut, then twisting the seat back while folding it forward. This gives you clearance to pull it off the post that is welded to the center hump. I hope this helps, Lon.
It's fun to copy and paste then to write it all out.

The carpet was the best part, once the seats, center console, kicke/rocker panels were off I was able to just literally rip it out. Oh yeah, my Sport Coupe paid me 20+ dollars in loose change
My center console is just trashed so I'm just going to junk it, sorta sad I bought a GTA with all those "luxury" options and I'm just gonna rip them out. lol
