Ran the RCAs and speaker wiring this weekend its so easy when you have a stripped interior you can run the wiring where you want to run it

and no I'm not putting a huge system in this car but I like my tunes so a set of components and a small 8" sub will be enough for me

I was kinda skeptical of this stuff but I got some dupli-color fabric dye and it actually worked out well don't think I'd use to do an entire car but its a trunk so I don't really care and its much cheaper than buying a brand new trunk carpet...after

probably no more updates for a week or two I'm pretty busy with work and other things right now but next up is refinishing the trim in my trunk I'm going to carpet it with black speaker enclosure carpet inspired by Broadfield

Everything looks 100x better with a fresh coat of paint :D

I love the feel of these seats BTW but I wouldn't recommend them if you're over say 250lbs, I'm only 150 and they hug me pretty good so they aren't fat guy approved seats

The trim in the trunk was ugly and beat up on top of that it was just bare plastic, so I decided to reupholster them and make it look new inspired by Broadfield

I just used speaker enclosure carpet b/c it stretches nicely around odd shapes

vs.

Complete!

Here's what it looked like when I got the car haha

Reupholstered the rear deck too

The old one was SHOT so I cut out a new one

and finished it with carpet

Sun visors dyed black to match the rest of the interior, Dupli Color Vinyl Dye this stuff is really good matches OEM almost perfect

Did the 3rd brake light too from 80s blue to black

Finally installed the headliner

Seat mocked up

lol I wish man but probably won't happen this year, when the interior is finished I need to wait till we move my garage is too tiny to do any body or engine work and my HOA would flip if I pulled it out into my driveway

It works on the plastic trim I've sprayed a few peices b/c mine was blue and it looks great, the key is prep make sure you clean the old dirty trim really really well get all the dirt/oil/grime off of it first. Don't know if I would use it on the dash might be worth a shot I mean its only $7/can and you would probably need 2 cans to do the entire dash. Not sure how it will hold up b/c the car hasn't been driven in a long time but I did a scratch test to see if it would chip off easily and it didn't. It wasn't that great on the carpet it worked but kinda makes the carpet stiff.

GREG! the carpet yes it makes it "stiff" take a tire cleaning brush or any scrub brush and scrub in small circles over the entire carpet. It will "break up" the fibers and make it feel factory again. It was a trick I used when I worked at a car lot (trial and error methods) which worked the best for me. Get back to me after/if you do this and tell me how it worked for you.

Also by using the same dye greg used on the carpet for the headliner works really well too and looks REALLY good. But make sure you even out the color. If youre not careful you may have a darker spot than the rest or vise versa. Use the brush method (mentioned above) on the headliner too for a factory feel (check out my build thread in my Sig on how i did it)

Oh, and where did you get the die?

unless you can put it on a rotisserie or have access to a lift I guess just get some simple green or something and start scrubbing away with a brush

You Paid: $10.02 Twice the price of normal spray paint but everything I've read people rave about it so I'll see how good it actually is. I tried the krylon fusion in my spec v its a decent match but still has a little sheen to it so I'll see how this works and take a side by side comparison pic.

Did you ever use this stuff and how did it turn out?
