Different ways to change your interior?

What are the different ways to customize your interior? I know you can wrap it with CF or wrap it with fiberglass and paint it to match your car. What other ways of customizing interiors?

Any pics would be great too.

I did search and the one thread about custom interiors didn't go anywhere

Crushed velvet? That is too pimp for a 240sx

Wrapping something in fiberglass is like making paper mache. Instead of wrapping chicken wire with paper, you are wrapping plastic with glass

Only thing is how do you make the fiberglass surface smooth? Like when you see it at car shows it's all smooth and shiny, how do you get that?

yeah but to get it carshow smooth, you would bondo it with a high quality filler, sand the shiot out of it, bondo more, sand, sand, sand, then paint it.

when you just sound down the fiberglass, you will see scratches all over, and fiberglass/resin is not 100% clear/seethrough

thats why i ask
