Default ARGGH HELP ME!

I'm thinking of doing some interior work.
No, this is not Ricer modding! (I don't think, lol)
I'm looking for something to make my interior different, have some kind of feeling of it wrapping around me.
I don't want racing seats, atleast not anything that stands out, lol. No racing harnesses.

I don't really want to spend a lot of money, but I'm just bored with the overall interior, which is nice since I have leather, but I need a change.

Any suggestions?
Sorry this is vague but I don't really know what I want to do. Just something to spice it up a little without going overboard.

LEDs are nice. I don't know if you are into them or not, but thepo1son and myself have some pics posted in that link. As well as the answers to any questions you may have about them.

the trans shifter indicator should have a light in it from the factory, if yours doesn't its probably burnt out. Happened to me once after taking out my center console.. i guess i jerked it around a little and screwed up the bulb. It's not hard to replace though..

yeah interior LED's look amazing, i just gotta finish putting some in behind my guages, hvac, and light controls
and yeah the shift indicator is definitely lit up already. all i did to mine was take out the previous bulb and put in 2 leds and a resistor, all soldered onto a piece of circuit board
but hey if ur lights broke already then i guess it works out well for you lol

You don't know how many times I had to pull out my phone at night to see if I was in drive or not when I first started driving lol.
Easy way to access it?

If anyone has any other ideas, post 'em up!

Lift up the console lid, remove the coin holder, remove the two screws. You should be able to access it by lifting up on the middle part you just unscrewed. That's all I did. I've also heard of people taking the inner door panels of a Trans Am, and replacing there old ones. It's a little more work than just taking the old one off, and new one on though.

i guess so, maybe after being in the sun for ... 13 years ... it just got brittle, so the lightest bit of pressure i put on it cracked it.
it makes me so mad, cause it just looks so terrible
i mean its a tiny crack that probably no one would notice
BUT I DO
and if i wouldnt have messed with the dash then it wouldntve happened, or at least wouldntve happened today.
i mean ugh
damn
i just hope it doesnt crack anymore.

edit
and u know what i realized
is that my car was just in such good condition
the very slightest things that happen make it seem like a piece of ****
so i guess it could be worse
i mean at least its clean and runs good right?
