now on to buy some floor mats! tan or black floor mats? i'm gonna buy them at work tonight so give me some opinions! i'm leaning toward tan for the color contrast...

[Nate's Alero]

tan...would look awesome!

[AleroChick785]

that looks real good. nice job. i say tan...you can still see the black an the car will match

[99alerogirl]

thanks! glad you guys agree haha... because i can't see getting black ones. i think the tan will just look shmexy.

[Dhoyle]

looks great, i was thinking bout doing this soon, and we have the same interior, anyways on the part of the carpet that goes under neith the back seat, it looks loose or is that just the picture? i just was woundering

[99alerogirl]

yeah it's not quite molded down yet... don't have anyone to sit in the back seat and step on the carpet yet hahaha

[Dhoyle]

ah okies wasnt sure, if it was staying like that, guess after i get my money together ill have a project to do lols

[99alerogirl]

haha it wasn't hard either... just time consuming and slightly annoying. and my left hand looks like it got in a bar fight, but oh well :)

[bdyman]

what about like back matts with tan piping, or tan matts with black piping???

[99alerogirl]

what about like back matts with tan piping, or tan matts with black piping???

piping? not sure i understand your monster talk. haha... or maybe i'm just a noob.

[bdyman]

lol well piping is like a border around interior parts, like when interior guys do custom work they will put piping around the dges to complete the look, see what iam saying

[99alerogirl]

ahhh gotcha... yeah i see what you're saying. that would be nice black with tan "piping" haha. i don't think we carry those at the az though, may have to go elsewhere

[bdyman]

ya you would have to, if you have any custom interior shops around shouldnt be to much money

[Gr1m]

is that a direct replacement carpet? meaning did you have to take the seats of to install it?

[cherrington17]

there was another thread, where she had her car stripped... so...yes.

[MattismodderX]

your headunit is placed kind of like mine xD

[Alerosaint]

Noice...one step closer to the shagmobile...lol...jk..good job tho

[DougEFresh3031]

looks awesome and id go with the tan floor mats...

[itsbmw]

your headunit is placed kind of like mine xD

Do one of you want a dash kit with holes drilled for switches? Pay shipping and it's yours:eek:

[meadus101]

... I'll do it!

[kwhauck]

can you get me discounted parts at autozone and ship them to me.....oh.....umm......carpet looks good, i'm jealous!!

[MattismodderX]

id love to pay the shipping to send it but im not entirely sure how to put it in

[itsbmw]

... I'll do it!

oh yeah I remembered you wanted that. You just gotta buy switches:lol: I used them all.. I used the oznium.com rocker switches..

[jrim]

holy shit what are u gomnna clean that trim with lol

[99alerogirl]

yep, car was completely stripped.


can you get me discounted parts at autozone and ship them to me.....oh.....umm......carpet looks good, i'm jealous!!

haha maybe, but shipping would probably totally cancel out my measly 20% discount.


holy shit what are u gomnna clean that trim with lol

haha i usually just use some armor all... that's mostly all from my dirty hands working on my headliner and fuel filter (which i couldn't even do)... it's not stained, it's more recent, so it shouldn't be hard. i actually usually get it quite clean.


anyone recommend a certain leather cleaner and conditioner? preferably one that autozone sells :)

[lonnie]

So how much $ (damage)

[Nate's Alero]

anything mother's for the leather.

[kwhauck]

haha maybe, but shipping would probably totally cancel out my measly 20% discount.

not unless it is going to cost you $110 to ship me the parts and I don't think it will

not sure if autozone carries it, but lexol is the best stuff out their, don't listen to any of these other people that are sucked into corporate name black holes and can't get past the name......

anywhoo, this stuff is awesome, i use it to conditions the leather seats in the bravada, my boots, and we also use it on the horse tack (saddles and what not for the city folk)

You need both bottles, the brown and orange....clean it religiously with a damp cloth using warm water, wipe clean, then use the orange bottle which is a cleaner and follow up with a healthy dose of the brown bottle conditioner

[cherrington17]

i'd listen to the cowboy. he deals w/ more leather just getting dressed in the morning, then the rest of us see in a lifetime. :lol:

[kwhauck]

you're jealous.....

[99alerogirl]

So how much $ (damage)

carpet was 130 shipped, headliner material + adhesive was 50 (i got twice the fabric i needed, just to be safe), and a cut up left hand. oh and a lot of sweat. but that's it!

we actually JUST started carrying that stuff last week, and it was among my choices. thanks for the info, it's probably what i'll go with.

[PappaSmurf]

Adria,
What did you use for your headliner material? Was it just some material you can get at say a fabric store or something else?
-Smurf-

[99alerogirl]

yeah i just got it from joann fabrics... randomly saw it in the sale section haha.

[PappaSmurf]

Adria,
Considering that you have a joanns, could you possibly pick me up some material like yours, only in blue. Also, if it has that suede look to it like yours that would be awesome. LOL
If you do this, I promise to rewire ALL of your electronics and fix that radio problem. LMAO
-Smurf-

[99alerogirl]

haha i would... i really would, but i'm broke besides my ASS funds. or i will be after i buy floor mats, cleaning materials, my oil change, etc. maybe there's a joann's in lansing! haha.
