    This is my 1st stage to a vintage look for my 2001 SE. I made new door panels. They're flat like NA. I used 1990 NA door card tops, which I stripped and reupholstered with some foam in it. The cards are actual door car material for custom work. The electric door switch is hidden under the vinyl padding in the top of the driver's door. The wood is African Mahogany, which matches the steering wheel, e-brake and shifter. Figuring out the wood type was a bitch.

    The door handles have been deleted and old style Porche canvas pulls are used instead. It's hard to see the strap in the pic because it's pointing right at you

    The aluminum bezels I had cnc cut and then I sanded from 60 grit to 800 grit after filing the edges round. Then I polished with a drill and buff pad. The bars are finished the same. They're just 1/8''x3/4'' aluminum from home Depot. I used the bars to cover the transition from wood to vinyl.

    Next step will to cover radio surround with real African Mahogany and delete the console. 2 paddle switches will be used for the window switches. The console will have the wood on it as well. I think that no console and the flat door cards will give it a nice retro rod look.
    These are pics of my hacked shorty console. I made it from a black 99 piece. I then covered it in vinyl, using leftover African Mahogany, from my door panels.

    I laminated the shifter and radio surround with a single piece of wood. No difference in grain. The black plug on the end is an USB plug.

    Inside the radio surround I acquired a rare JDM piece that replaces the air bag switch. I used marine rocker switches for my windows in that. The panel also has a light which I'm going to hook up a temp light to go on at 230. I think this compliments and completes my retro look for the interior, as it matches the factory DeNardi wood perfectly.

    Saw that yesterday on TopMiata's IG, simply stunning! What are your vent rings? Look like RS Products to me but not sure.
