LuminaPower92 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 i went out and got euro trim pieces that are dark greyish and replaced all the wood trim pieces in my base Lumina with them. Looks real good against grey interior. Quote
Z34-5speed Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 Paint them black, it goes good with just about everything. Quote

5speedz34 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Posted February 11, 2008 Damn your interior looks good. Quote
1990lumina Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 Damn your interior looks good. Thanks dude. I got it in '04 pretty damn spotless - only wear is the driver's side floor mat, and the seat has a bit. As you can see I over do it with the rubber mats - especially in winter - but it makes spring cleaning a snap! Pressure wash the mats, vacuum/shampoo the odd spot on the car and it's good to go. If my dash pad wasn't fucked up it'd be a lot nicer. Quote
hotrodolds Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 What's with all the techno gadgetry around the centre console area? For a second there...I thought Cato was here... j/k!!! Quote
89GP_SE Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 So the only difference between Euro and Base panels is the color right? Hope I didnt miss something there. Quote
GP1138 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 Please don't paint your interior panels. I'd just go out and get Euro ones, they're easy enough to snap in and out. Also, if you don't have the three-spoke wheel, I suggest you find a Z34 in a yard and get one, the Z wheels are a little meatier and they're nicer looking. Knowing you have woodgrain tells me you probably have the grandpa wheel. Quote
mra32 Posted February 13, 2008 Report Posted February 13, 2008 There are other steering wheels for the lumina? I thought the 3 spoke was the only one. Quote

IRONDOG442 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 Once you go black you neva go back !! Quote
5speedz34 Posted February 15, 2008 Report Posted February 15, 2008 Once you go black you neva go back !! No once you go black, you end up in a wheel chair. Quote

bodeen2007 Posted February 15, 2008 Author Report Posted February 15, 2008 i have decided to paint them white when i paint the car. and i have the 3 spoked wheel. here's a pic Quote
5speedz34 Posted February 16, 2008 Report Posted February 16, 2008 Please don't paint it white. I did that on my first Lumina it just screams boy racer. Quote

If my dash pad wasn't fucked up it'd be a lot nicer. HAHAHAHA My carpets are trashed, and I still go overboard. I tell people when they get into the car to make sure to keep their feet ON the floor mats. I shampoo the carpets in the fall, let them dry, put the dealership protective sticky sheets over the carpeting up to the door trim around the edges, then three layers of floor mats on top. Damn light grey interior, I HATE it. !!! Lumi looks really nice man. And I'd go with black trim. Black is always a good bet for any color to match. Quote
