Glove box damper

Great work.

I can't see where you've made the modification, which I guess is the point!

I agree. This is a road car not a race car with a stripped interior.

It is all relative Dev.
The one, being a road car does not per definition exclude basic interior.
How a car comes trimmed from the factory is mainly marketing driven contemporary fashion.
Even today. 25 jears after the introduction of our MR2, some road cars can be ordered without or with a bare minimum of trim. At a premium of course because it makes them more desirable to those customers

 I am sure the owner of a stripped car thinks others think their car is cool like they are a serious bare bones racer on the street but the reality is quite different.
Most think it's somebodies nightmare.

I don't drive my car much nor very far. When I do drive it's always for fun, not to go anywhere in particular.
I don't really want to go anywhere far as it's not really a comfortable place to be, and that's in standard full fat trim.

It looks well done but the aesthetic is not to my taste. Too many gauges and too opulent like it belongs to a Russian gangster. I prefer an interior aesthetic that looks very OEM and understated like I didn't do it.
I'm sure others would like it but I like it to be less flashy.
Maybe I will take a good picture of my interior this weekend so you can see what I mean.

Agree with you on the gauges, way OTT.
The look and choice of materials however appeals to me. Like the more upmarket look even if unsubtle.

Looking forward to your images.

 There are OEM interiors that I think are over done like my sisters G wagon. It looks like new rich and a bit ridiculous. Im a bit of a minimalist when it comes to interior design but I do like subtile hints of chrome where if it is used in moderation.
 I rather like the quality of the leather or feel of real metal that does not flake off like a previous BMW that did have a nice looking interior but it was not holding up because they used cheap plastics and finishing.
 Our cars have durable interiors but they are lacking in the finish.

Flushed with my glovebox success, I've now lined the lid of the dash-top storage. Including the front edge that touches the dashboard when closed (despite the rubber bumpers in the corners) and made a clack noise. It now makes a reassuring "thwump" and my sunglasses are safe from scratches.

Might I suggest you retitle  this thread -

The silence of the slams ?

Lóve it!

The rest of the thread is alien to me as I simply don´t have the ´problem´.

Toyota use to sell a noise elimination kit that looked like fake velvet and it was probably flocking material.
With it came instructions on where to use it between some panels to eliminate the creaks of the interior.

Anti-squeak tape. My Audi seems to have it on every contact point on the whole car. From the factory, it wasn't me this time!
