Dark brown carpet, lower door panels and steering wheel/shrouds. Then light beige leather/vinyl on the seats, and upper door panels.
Kinda like my 2009 Genesis was:

Some random pick of the 5 speed install. Did more work than picture taking...
The new trans:
The old AOD:
Some dimples in the floor I pounded from underneath to show me where to cut for the trans to fit:
The tremec T5-Z all installed in its new home:
Stick in no steering wheel:
Piers firewall bracket for panther cars..a terrible pic of it:
Awesome piece. MUST HAVE. I bolted it in two places along the cowling/lip of firewall to windshield wiper areas as well as a bolt through the firewall just above the steering column. I modified it a bit to suit my needs but is an amazing foundation to start with. Sucker is planted and provided a nice sturdy base for a firewall adjuster and clutch cable.
A current (as of April 12 2020) engine bay pic:
You can see my new moroso catch can just in front of the receiver drier.
Also installed a raptor performance single mode shift light in the drivers side middle ac vent for stealthy points.~David~
