And some shots of my winter beater, 1990 900S. Don't mind the turbo badge on the grille... The grille was a junk one off of my SPG.

I've never noticed the two tone dash thing going on. Is that a viggen specific thing? The 900's with black interior I've seen have been black on top and bottom.

Did viggens come standard with chrom door pulls?

Looks good, your suede looks purple in all the pics :)

Not sure on the dash....

Yes they all come with chrome door pulls.

And for some reason my suede always looks purple in pictures. It doesn't look like that in real life.

I have a custom modified hardwire kit if your interested.
Put's the on/off switch and mute button in a button blank.
Also has two LED's(not pictured because I stashed them behind the dash) if you want to use the detector in dark mode.

Bummer about the drivers seat and the steering wheel :(

Any ideas about the wheel - that happened in my friends Viggen as well (his shift knob too) but mine still looks great.

Man your seats show a lot of wear!

Yeah man I know. It sucks. The steering wheel was like that when I bought the car. The only thing I can think of is the previous owner had rings? I really don't know.

And as for the seats, I'm not sure why they're so bad. I treat them with Lexol cleaner and conditioner just about every month. I might switch to Leatherique soon. They were pretty worn when I bought the car, but they just keep getting worse. The car does have 154k miles though.

I guess I'm just grateful they don't look like these ones! (found on cardomain)

If the passenger looks like that, I'd hate to see the drivers seat. And the headrest isn't really set properly and safe (unless the passenger is a midget).

I think that the interiors in these cars are actually pretty good, especially how they feel very intuitive and up to date (at least in my opinion). Most of the leather in newer cars I have been in and detailed just don't feel like leather to me, especially when compared to the seats in my NG900.

Using Abduckted's c900 leather as an example.
Oh wow that's a great restoration - what did he do to it?
Your car also has significantly less mileage on it. I bought my car with 127k and the interior had been neglected when I bought it.
That is the other thing, my c900's had no leather care at all as far as I'm aware of and eventually the leather tears. I wager had they been kept up fro mthe beginning they would be in much better shape.
