Looks nice. The red is a nice accent against the gray/grey interior

Looks like the rest of the interior has seen its better days

It’s actually pretty nice. Just haven’t cleaned it up after the install.

are you overlaying the original pieces or making complete new ones?

Overlaying. Haven’t explored fabrication with carbon fiber yet. Will happen someday though, since my next home built CPU will be made from this.

Update!
No, it’s not perfect.
Yes, I’m proud of and happy with it. Learned a ton.
Soon to follow: center console (I have to widen the cupholders anyway for non-dollhouse sized drink containers) and the one gray piece behind the shifter.

Doesn't have to be perfect, as long as you're satisfied with it.
Surprised you didn't grab some of those panels from the junkyard (they might even give you broken ones) for practice. I certainly saw enough of them scattered around while I was at a local yard.
