Fox 89 Convertible Gt Interior Restore

[dnbonds]

What kind of bulbs and where can I get them. Also, what type of LED's are they? I would love to replace them with some red ones or does the light shine through colored lenses?

I'm getting some door lock mechanisms from a junkyard because mine are bent for some reason. I can't lock the doors on either side. The door lock actuators are also bent.

I bought the LED's from www.superbrightleds.com

Qty | Product / Options | Price/ea |
============================================================
9 | WLED-x-x: 194 LED Bulb - 1 LED Wedge Base| $ 1.39 |
WLED-W-120: Cool White 120 Degree
------------------------------------------------------------
6 | WLED-x5: 194 LED Bulb - 5 LED Wide Angle Wedge Base| $ 3.94 |
WLED-CW5: Cool White
------------------------------------------------------------

Total cost was $41.65

The bulbs are "cool" white. The lenses are colored so red probably won't work.
Here's a link to my original thread. If you scroll down you'll see my before and after pics.

Thanks!, I'll keep that in mind for a future project.

What do you guys think of putting in Billet pieces to go along with a mostly black interior with a little bit of red on the seat and dash? The parts I am talking about are: chrome door handles, window switches, aluminum or steel door still plate, A/C Knobs, shifter bezel, E-Brake handle, and pedals. Seeing that most of my knobs and switches have faded paint from heavy use, I figured might as well hit home with some stylish parts.

I'm not sure if it would go well with TMI Mach1 Upholstery/Door Panels (With the Red strip in them) and the Black w/ Red Molding Strip and Mustang GT bumper lettering exterior. Opinions?

I'm trying to keep my interior mostly all black with a few billet accent pieces. I like clean lines that blend well.
My car is silver with black trim so I figure staying mainly black will look good.
At the end of the day, it's your money and your car so make it the way you want it.

Finished installing my new upholstery today. Turned out better than I had hoped. Wasn't that hard to do either. I just took my time. I can hardly believe the difference in the way the drivers seat feels with new foam. It's like a different car.
A few before pics too.

Awesome! I had some unexpected bills so my interior has been put on hold for now.
