New black & grey interior - done by me! - Pics inside

Well here is the interior on my 88 camaro, all the interior work was done by me. I'm thinking of working for someone for awhile, saving up some money and maybe starting up my own upholstery shop, specializing in f-bodies. I didn't do anything fancy to the door panels because I like the stock look and I like simple, yet custom things. I wish I would have put a small bowtie in them now though. Maybe at a later date. I did the front and rear seats, door panels, shifter boot, t-top bag, the hatch roll out cover (although the tension thing to roll it back up doesn't work anymore, anyone know how to fix?), rear speaker covers and my bose kick panels, I also made a little cover for the dash so it wouldn't get so dirty so quick. Any comments/obinions?

I also did a little foam work to the front seats and added about 1" to the bolsters, both cushion and backrest. One more pic, this one of my shift boot.

You did an excellent job, very clean. Nice! Like the shifter. Did you buy the boot or make it?

looks good man!!!

Ill also be replacing the interior in my 90RS with a new headliner, visors, sun sails, carpet, and some 4th gen 2 tone seats (black/grey). I cant wait, my interior is a piece of SH*T, i already riped out the headliner out of rage.

Would anybody be interested if I was to do this and maybe sell things? Like shifter boots or other small things like that, that would ship easy? I also want to make t-top shades, but I need to find a old beat up set, just so I can see how they are designed and put together. Anybody have an old set they want to sell for cheap?

Also can anyone tell me why my post doesn't have the little paper clip by it that shows i have pics? Do you have to choose that when you post or something?

The seats aren't the style that I like, but the shifter boot looks awesome. I think you'd find some customers on here if you were to sell those.

Looks real good! I think it all is done ver nicely except the color choice you went with on the speaker covers. Those look tan instead of a grey. Or are they grey and they show up as tan in the pic?

Thanks guys. I went with those seats because i like the adjustable headrest, but to each their own.
And on the speakers covers - I'm redoing them, I just redid them because I got some material free from a friend and it looked like it matched okay, but once i got them in the car it didn't look good at all. They are a grey but its not the right shade. I have my headliner sitting in the other room, so I'm going to just get some material and recover them both so they match and install them.

Some things I'm thinking about making and selling - shifter boots, t-top sundshades, possibly t-top bags?,anything else? I'm just trying to think of smaller items that would be cheap to ship. I guess door panels wouldn't be too bad to ship either. I could do about anything in them, flames, bowties, Iroc, or Gta lettering....
