Full write up will go on The Garage. As expected, the only real issue with the CTR carpeting was that it doesn’t have a side wall. I think I’ll use some garden/gutter guard to make the side walls to fit under the body edge lining and over the edge of the carpet. That should do it.
If you’re wondering why the ECU area is so damn messy it’s because I haven’t been able to locate the 2001 middle console for the GA3 yet. Mine didn’t come with one, so even the original carpet has that eye sore open area.

I could be wrong, but I don’t know if your seats are red enough

Red door fabric and a red dash cover for maximum Type R

As said, could be redder, here’s the design inspiration:

Yeah, but my door thingies are reverse of the EK. Plastic armrests, fabric door covers. Debating painting the armrests red, but I think there’s gotta be some kind of better option.
Remember, this isn’t an attempt to directly replicate the Civic Type R. It’s to try to create something that looks like it COULD have been a Logo Type R had such a thing been designed. So like, I take elements from the ITR, too. My seats are DC5, my steering wheel is shared with DC2 and Prelude.

In all seriousness though, that looks really cool

ehh, IDK, you are pretty much there.
as for the center console, a double DIN box from something, a 3-d printer, couple of hours, and you will have something from which to blast sweet euro beat from.

Ohh and those parts wouldn’t be interchangeable, damn. Would taking them off and vinyl wrapping them somehow work?
Were there ever Logos that had a door panel like yours but with red accenting instead of blue? Swap that and leave the armrests as is?

Nice.... Ive really liked the concept your going with ever since you started on it. Glad it’s coming together.

With minimal modification I think many of the parts would work. I think, for example, that an actual EK-9 center and middle console SHOULD fit generally, but the question is will the top of the middle console match up well enough with the bottom of the dash console? CTR parts are expensive, so I don’t want to start buying them willy nilly. Would be better to try it was a non-Type R console first, if that works, buy the CTR version later.
Of course, the Navi middle console for the GA3 is a fairly close match, so if I can just track one down... This is the best picture I can find of one:
As for your door panel suggestion, I wish, but no. But there is a flat black or very dark gray I’d like to track down from the 2001 TS.
