[dman090]

[Tom]

i just ripped them off, cleaned them with soapy water, rinse, dry and sprayed them. no sanding no primer no clear. I didn't sand them b/c i didn't them smooth and b/c i didn't want to lose the factory look to them. I forget what paint i used but it's for plastics. they are such low traffic areas not really in need of primer. I thought i did a how to on them....

it's hotter then shyt in my car during the summer as it is now. even though i keep the sunroof open and windows cracked with tinted windows... maybe if someone pshops it black i may reconsider but i like the two tone contrast a bit.

uh oh i see a sub box in the garage...shhh don't tell the neighbor's they'll steal it like they did my antenna.

noice...do you call it the clown car because of the red bowtie up front

lol nah man, heat attracting to your headliner is the least of your worries, the leather seats is where most the heat comes from.
but hey if you like your two tone thats cool

I personelly love my blacked out interior.

yea that's what all my friends started calling it and I have an infatuation with clowns.. but the red bowtie wasn't planned to make it "the clown car" it just stuck

Hmm i'm liking it. I don't have leather seats though.. cloth w/ suede inserts. how did you do the visors?


now that I seen that I am thinking to install a dome light.. i seen a how to on the other site. If I do it I will do my own write up for this site.

 

[06ion2coup]

just an idea, if your going with the black n red look, why not get black rims with a red stripe?

Visors, I just masked off the air bag stickers, and sprayed it with dye.
