not really. everybody still paints and wraps everything. its just less obnoxious materials now. 80% of the time.

its all relative, but i do agree the amount of work and time spent on interiors now is astonishing.
and 15 years ago, i was riding a bike, on my way to 1st grade. haha.

lots of stone looking shit. ie; dashboards that looked like boulders. (flec-stone)
splater apinted pieces. velour was big right before tweed. remember minitrucks were heavily influenced by lowriders. (though most wont admit it)
multi colors! ie: tweed inserts with vinyl seat sides.
interiors often duplicateed the exterior graphics. ie: scallops, splatter paint, drips, etc
there werent any tall shifters or skulls even though most call that stuff "old school"
no leathers. no troll hair, no animal skins.
billet was post mid 90s

(got lots of shit to scan for several threads!)

oh, plexiglass and neon speaker boxes...
grant gt steering wheels. lecarra steering wheels
no smoking plugs for cigarette lighters.
lots of dash plaques from shows across the dash (not my favorite trend back then)
no fiberglass painted shit unless it was a small dash insert like i did for my truck in my build thread. (ie, shaving the ashtray, radio, etc) then
mounting the radio/cassette deck in the glove box was big.
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh - and the bed had the same interior as the truck in most cases!
