My tripod should be here soon. I'm starting to get tired of holding the camera as still as possible. lol No editing on these photos, i just cropped them so Flickr would upload faster and put my name on it. Help me come up with a symbol for my watermark. lol







Lens flare FTL

Thanks Joe! I love em!

No editing? Skills!! I seriously don't know how you hold the camera so still by hand. My hands are hella shaky. Haha.

Update*** Merry Christmas Everyone!!! Last update of the year! :)

Started to wrap my headliner with black tweed.

Supplies - I didn't use the Scotch tape. I don't know why I grabbed it. Haha. There's my handy dandy Starbucks gold card which I don't use anymore because I use the starbucks app on my phone to pay for my drinks now. :thumbs up

Material

Bought an extra headliner so I can work on it outside the car.

It's a wrap yo!




Also started spraying all the little trimmings and panels black during the same time.



I couldn't figure out a way to pull the moonroof panel off so I resorted to pulling the entire moonroof. That s*** was a b**** to carry out of the car because it's pretty heavy and very awkward to hold. It also had sharp edges too so I had to be extra careful for it not to pierce my seats or anything else. It would've have been a lot easier to have a friend lend an extra hand carrying it out.






It's a wrap!




Started working on the other miscellaneous panels and pieces; such as,
Map Light, Dome Light, Rearview mirror cover, Sunvisor holder, A pillar, B to C pillar panel, Seat belt cover, headliner screw, moonroof weather stripping trim, rear trunk weather stripping trim, and clothes hanger piece.
I didn't really take pics of them while spraying.

And INSTALLED!











Overall, I am very happy with the results. It's not perfect but it sure is a hell of a lot better than before (stock). :thumbs up

I have yet to figure out a way to wrap my Sunvisors neatly and cleanly in a way that I would be happy with. So I will be going to a local Autobody shop in town that does partial Upholstery to get a quote and their recommendation.

Other problems, my moonroof opens very slowly now with the panel in the closed position. I believe the wrap may have been a little too thick for it too move as smoothly as before but if I open it manually before then my moonroof opens at its normal pace.

Sidenote: I wish I would have thought about it more before cutting the holes in the headliner wrap for the "b****" handles so that the wrap could have just deleted it all together for a more cleaner look. But now it's too late and I am stuck with it. I ended up spraying the handle but don't feel like it will hold up so I will be looking for another set of plugs to delete it.

Nice job dillon! It looks amazing :thumbs up
Thanks Joe!

I hope one day mine looks as good as your car does
Thanks bro! Lots of man hours put into her. Haha.

u shave that front bumper yourself? im looking to do the same.
Yeah, I shaved it myself. I cut off the license plate box then re-plastic weld it back on with leftover polyurethane material all around the perimeter and the lice plate holes. Then I bondo'd both sides, front and behind for more structural support. Then shape out the front and paint.

Damn dude that fabric actually ended up looking mint! Glad you didn't return it lol. The car looks so cozy!
Yeah it did! I'm glad I didn't either haha. I remember in my Beginning Art course, I learned that a pattern or design is more better when it is done in larger amounts or a larger surface area and its true. Haha.

Plus, I missed the 30 day return policy and they wanted a 20% restocking fee so I felt like it wouldn't be worth it anyways.

Yeah sitting inside my car feels completely different now, Haha. :thumbs up
