Need Some Peoples Views And Help On My Interior

I just laied some new stuff over it. Going to get a mold in a month or two. I did find that the paint is hard to keep up. Going to rip the car apart and put all new vinyl in. Hell I found it was cheaper and faster to do then painting everything. Pissed me right off when I found that out. Guess thats life as a noob never know whats going to happen.

You can see new pics of the carpet up on cardomain

*Speaker box looks great, btw :thumbsup: *
Yeah, paint dosen't stick to plastic- found that out when my fiance and I were redoing the interior in his truck- the poop scratched right off! issed: We had to take all of his peices to a guy at a body shop and he dyed them for us- dye works GREAT! Carpet can be a pain getting it to fit just right- took me like 3 days just to recarpet a truck! I cut the carpet so it would go over the contours with no wrinkles and then spray-adheasved the whole thing down on top of the old. It's good that you're going with a mold, though, 'cause doing custom carpet yourself is a PAIN!!

Tell me about it. Took 4 days for me with the seats out.

Despite what others have said, I think the interior looks great! Although I do wonder how you find the time to do all of that while still going to school... I'm in my 4th year, and haven't been able to come on Aleromod in the past 2 weeks because I've been so freaking busy!

Anyways, it looks great, and I can't wait until you can post the finished product!

Ya got the new vinyl in today but can't get working on it till my break in 3 weeks

I well post pictures when Im all done. Color is going to be the same just changing it all to high grade marine vinyl.

it might be a bit overkill but..


seatbelts look out of whack, maybe somethin to cover em?

they don't seem to mesh well with the rest of the colors

Buy new seats instead of seat covers

hahahahahahaha estimated horsepower... 245? you need to subtract 100+ from that buddy.

the interior looks decent though.

[Redog]

what do you have done to the motor to get 245 HP?

i think most people don't know how much work it takes to do this kinda stuff....not very many people actually ripped the dash out....me, you, silent, aftermath....not very many others from here...i think it looks good, as long as u like it, who cares what others think :thumbsup:

well the car has about 200 HP in it right now. I don't spend a lot of time checking what I put on cardomain and when I put that I was a total noob. For some reason I thought the car was 190 stock.

before the years end I well have it up around 270 - 280 and by next summer up to 330 so I really don't care what it says on cardomain or what you guys think.

So I guess in 2 months I well be the one lauging.

As for the interior ya it's a ton of work. I had everything gutted not just the dash. took 2 weeks to do full time work. Now I have to gut it all over again to redo my dash and doors with black vinyl. Dyes and paints just make it look like poop and the dust is hard to get off it.

I well be using high grade marine vinyl about a mm thick. Really is good stuff. When my car is redone I well post some pics. Right now I work 40+ hours a week so I really don't have much time to do anything to my car so everything I want done I have to have done for me or take time off work.

i don't find mine looks like poop at all man....as for dust, if you got the right stuff and clear coated the dye, theres no problems

[FormulaNERD]

it's always nice to dream isnt it?

Get yourself some real seats and drop that thing. Other than that, looking good.

Well dye is good and all but I didn't have the money for it at the time when I did my job. Really after I got everything out and looked at it I saw putting new vinyl on it would have been a ton easier and cost a lot less. Think the vinyl I am looking at is about 80.00 for 10 yards. Then you need glue and tools that can add up a bit. I got a sample of it and really like the quality and it molds really well with a heat gun.

Seats I am replacing next month with APC or Sparco depending on how much money I have. APC are half the price of Sparco and look just about the same. Think you are paying for a name thats about it. My stock belts are coming out and all seats well have 4 points on them.

As for the engine I am putting 10G under the hood by next summer. 6000.00 for the super charger and a few mods and 4000.00 in other add ons from Jan - May. Not sure if I want to get NOS or not. After spending this much money and having my engine blow on me is not my idea of a good time. Have to talk to some pros before I do anything with that.
