Creating a custom look for your car's interior means sifting through countless options and making difficult decisions. From the headliner to the floor, from the dashboard to the seat coverings, you want to make your custom project uniquely yours. And whether your budget is compact or luxury-sized, any ride can be turned into a standout. But where to start?

Whether you hire a custom shop or decide to tackle it yourself, hours of work and thousands of dollars could be spent before you really create a vision of what the whole interior will look like.

In addition to appearance, consider function and comfort. You'll be the one driving it, so if long Sunday drives take their toll, or if you can't reach the shifter, all that time and money will have been wasted on an awkward interior.

Author and automotive journalist Sue Elliott helps you make the right choices with Automotive Custom Interiors, a collection of over 600 photos compiled from some of the coolest custom cars and concepts from top car shows, noted interior specialists, and manufacturers.

Topics include upholstery, instruments and lighting, mobile electronics, and more. Elliott explains how each interior was accomplished and why some work better than others.
