Fascinating. Analyzing this image, it appears that the dash was
repainted and a chrome knee strip added. Nice clean job on the
instrument housing.

Door panels are curious. Tweeter up where the "stock" speaker would be,
with a mid-range speaker lower down. I like the stick shift, though I'd
be curious as to how much room was lost by the shifter housing (looks
like it is up a couple of inches from normal).

Hmm. TWO stalks on the left side of the steering column? Is that upper
one a cruise control/MFA control stalk?

Seats look comfy (and powered based on the controls.) Not sure about the
colors.
