I have a 03 GMC Sierra Z71 ext cab. I have silver leather interior. And I want a one of a kind interior. Just like maybe flames(dont really want that) or maybe tribal, or some other different designs, any ideas???

You can do a lot with the interior. Id say pick a certain theme or scheme. Once youve done that start lookin for parts to buy or material to use. Talk w/ some int upholsterey shops see how much and what they can do. Id say buy some billet and paint some items and recover your seats.

If you wanna go wild do a full custom sheet metal interior or fiberglass.

go to walmart and get fuzzy seat covers and a fuzzy steering wheel cover and don't forget to match it with a 40 cd holing visor case LOL

Not to take away from your thread but people who accessorize at walmart bother me:D

Ok, I agree with what has been said. You want to pick something and stick with it so that way it doesn't look screwed up. One easy thing you can start with is get a touch up paint pen and color in the GMC on your steering wheel.

If it's something you're going to drive everyday, simple is good. Like KADDY DADDY said, get a few billet accent pieces and paint some of your plastic trim pieces to match the outside. For your seats, I'd do a nice 2-tone upholstery job. Add a dark charcoal gray to your silver gray for the other color.

I can show you what I did on my last car:

The car had a whole hawaiian theme going on, so I did small amounts of hawaiian print material. There was a 1" strip at the middle of the seats, and the door panel inserts & dash piece was done as well. I figured I wanted something different, and tweed was just starting to go out of style, so I tried it. I've had a few imitators too.

Strangely enough what I did to get that material was go to Pacific Eyes and T's, and get 5 XXXL shirts. They were on sale for like $7, and I bought a bunch. I used to wear one to shows. Man was it bright!
