Woot Woot

I hope to have the rear back in the car by the end of the month.. we shall see.

coming along dave. i hope that i can find the time to start mine soon. things are crazy at work again, so it may hold it up.

OK so today I went out and begun painting my trim from red to black using TRIM paint..

no crazy colors nothing special just going to black..

From what i hear as long as you use good materials it's ok, and i've seen it turn out very well, however, don't do the seats, it will wear off very fast.

yeah I wont do the seats.. I am buying racing seats to replace my ITR seats..

I just hope I don't spend a small fortune trying to turn red carpet black lol..

OK took these pics tonight of the interior this is after it had sat for 2 days..

the carpet piece is much darker then the pic shows.

you might want to just look into replacment carpeting there are plently of companys that make replacment premoplded carpets for almost every car.

id take it to a shop and have them make a one off, the premade ones usually fit like crap

well the carpet turned out nice.. I like the color of it.. I think I am going to continue and see if I cant get it to color in nice so I can lay it back in.

What do I have to loose, not like anyone wants faded red carpet. If it don't turn out good then I spend like 20.00 for nothing.. if it looks good then I did not waste the 20.00

Ok so yesterday I painted the dash.. (what a pain) I did it while it was still in the car.. Today I plan to finish where it may need some touching up and then start on the carpet..

I hope to have pics by the weekend..

why not just take it out of the car? Mine was a nasty faded blue, so i took it out, and sprayed it black with vynil and plastic paint. worked great, just gotta remember to only do quick strokes an thin coats, because otherwise, it dries blotchy...

I was under there looking at how to pull it out and it looked like a real pain in the ass to remove..

I got great coverage on it. I will inspect it tonight to see how it turned out and move on from there.. if I HAVE TO I will pull it out.

tonight I will try and finish up the rest of the carpet in the car that way I can start putting the trim back in the car and replace the parts that need to be.

Ok so I got out and painted the carpet and touched up the dash.. here is where I am at.

next will be to put another coat on the carpet (to seal in any red that may come through)

then paint the rear carpet and the carpet around the strut towers
paint the center console (arm rest)
start putting everything back together.
