sounds like you are on a good path. no real rules to this. trim removal is relatively standard though. main thing is, pick a theme (look) for your car and stick to it. be consistent throughout the car. if staying subtle with few mods, try to stay that way on the outside and inside.

imo, if you are going rat, the trim should all go. dash would stay fairly stock, but lose any trim again. gauge upgrrade is still good.

Only going rat for a while. Mainly because I haven't decided on a color, and want to get the engine built before I paint. So it'll be a year or two before it's painted. I plan on a monochromatic scheme in line with most GL's.

As for the interior, I want subtle, but some modern amenities such as temp guages and stereo etc. Not over the top, but enough that I can enjoy the car and be comfy.

you have the basics covered man stick with the smooth clean mods that you've got in mind and your car will turn out smooth and clean if carried through out the whole car like zen said


As for the interior, are you planning on going fast in your car? If so you might wanna think about a four poin roll cage, very subtl and maybe a racing harness for added safety, you don't need to put racing buckets in to have the harness so it should still remain fairly comfy
