i want it to match the stock interior, i just want to fix it

Like i said in my fix it thread, i'm fixing EVERYTHING wrong with the car... everything mechanical has been repaired, it is now just things like paint, dents and this

[kwhauck]

w/e... for doing a 35$ reupholster job myself, i mean, ANYTHING will look better than what it has now

damn i think mine is tan/taupe.... but i also have the door panels to match....

[alerogls001]

My Interior is the tan/taupe. How low could u go on it? I'm sick of the crappy carpet shit I have covering mine. When I bought it I thought it was molded to be the shape. But it's not... Just wavy ugly carpet.

^ haha someone threw some old rug carpet on your dash?

sorry lol

I went to Jo Ann Fabrics, the price wasnt bad.

[tnalero99]

I saw some vinyl the other day at Hobby Lobby but the only color I saw was black. Best bet for the best material and biggest selection of colors and material is to order from an upholstery shop near you.

[JLw7123]

nate just use leather.

if you're gonna maximize your return, LV the interior

If your Walmart has a fabric section they have a wide array too.

walmart is evil.....

[cavaliers60]

Say no to Walmart. lol

[HazMatt24]

QFT, stay away from the big box stores, find a local mom and pop shop, not only will you be helping the local economy, you'll probably have a better experience and in the future they will probably be more willing to hook you up

[kwhauck]

true, except for costco, costco is cool.......
