What You Can Do To Modify Your Interior
By Brett Foote

It's not like the S2000 interior is bad, but you can always make it better. Here's how inside.

 

Interior mods are something you appreciate on every drive, providing an upscale feel and utility to our dated oem interiors for relatively little cost. My recipe has been:

Custom thicker leather steering wheel, custom leather sunvisors, carbon fiber center console cover, custom leather shift boot, custom elbowpad, extended floor mats, spoon mirror, extra 12 volt outlet, upgraded head unit and speakers with added rear speakers, custom leather door inserts, modifry organizer, LED multicolour instrument cluster, moddiction shift knob, and Muz trunk saddlebags. I've been extremely pleased with all of my mods.

 

Upgrades, so far, include replaced the MY07 OEM black seats for MY07 OEM Red/Black seats, with Red/Black door panels, leather shift boot, upgraded radio, extended floor mats, and upgraded all interior lights to LED, including trunk and license plate

Winter projects include, leather armrest, and LED lighting under the dash. I have several other updates to the car pending (fog lights, stub radio antenna, etc).

Desperately looking for a spare set of MUZ trunk saddlebags.

 

anyone know where i can get an oem/aftermarket armrest? mines falling apart

Would love to see pics of the interior, since your's is (apparently) complete. I'm interested how you wired up your garage door opener?

 

Firstly, I removed the garage opener circuit from the opener remote unit. You then need to identify what switch on the circuit board is activated by the open button. The two points on the circuit board where the switch then have 18 gauge wires soldered to them.

Secondly, using an ohmmeter, you determine which of the prongs on the defroster switch actually close momentarily when the switch is pushed.

Finally, you just wire the circuit board to the prongs that you've identified and, using double back tape, tape the circuit to the underside of the console.

 

These are garage photos taken in the garage under artificial light and with sunlight coming through the window. I'll try to take some photos outside tomorrow.

 

In the last photo, you will see three metal snaps under the dash panel. There are another three located similarly on the driver's side. They are for fastening tan canvas lap blankets lined with fleece for driving in cold weather. There are also outlets (5.5mm) for DC power to supply heated jackets or hoodies (Milwaukee heated cloths are what I have but others like Gerbing make heated apparel.)

 

Impressive work!
