a little bit of custom s14 interior work

[JDMricer]

Well the stock s14 interior has been bugging me for about 2 years now so I finally decided to put some effort into cleaning it up/modernizing it a little bit. I'll keep updating this over the next little while as a I get more done but here is the update as of now.

I've always had a love for pretty much any black material with red stitching on it, so its no surprise that mine is getting done exactly that way.

I picked up 3 meters of black vinyl. I wanted leather but for obvious price reasons vinyl was what I went with. My plans are to spray my headliner black (cause the gray drives me up the wall) using dupli-color vinyl and fabric spray, which I will post a DIY of when I'm done. Plus I'm redoing the following pieces-sun visors-shift boot-storage box cover in the center consol -door inserts-and a custom e-brake boot

Here is some progress/ before and after pics of whats been done so far

The old visors, in the stock ugly *** plastic gray material

just a progress pic of the old visors stripped

some color/ style testing of stitching

the old ugly/crappy fitting shift boot cut up for reference

driver's visor completed

up close shot of the drivers visor

I'll keep the updates comming as I go, its gona take a little while to finish it as its very time consuming work. MAD props to the mom for all the help, there is no way i woulda attempted the change without her. I'm sure an upholstery shop would cost several Gs to do the same job. This will probley have 20-30 man hours into it by the time its said and done. Now all i need is a perdy shift nob and an s15 steering wheel:)

[maj Andres]

Are you putting the vinyl over the entire dash also?

[JDMricer]

nah, my dash is already black enough for me.

[addisonblck]

Looks baller! You going to cover the dash and door panel inserts with the same stuff?

[JDMricer]

I'm not gona cover the dash but yeah, I am gona do the door panel inserts in the same stuff.

[nikl240]

That dupli-color paint is awesome stuff, but you'll probably need at least 2 cans to cover the headliner. You can also use it with a clear coat to make dashes look brand new.

[2ndnissan]

It will definitely take two cans of duplicolor for the headliner...and it looks great when you're finished! Really like the sunvisors. keep up the good work!

Lookin' good, Lookin' good.

Hmmm...

[brizanden]

looks good dude. imma contract my mom to do the same lol

[Teo]

Damn that looks nice!

[Fancy_Footwork]

That's pretty awesome. How'd you make up the template for the shift boot? I kinda need a new one, mines busted.

All the work is neat and professional looking - wish I had the home-ec skills to sow my own stuff like that.

[StandardProspect]

very nice!! that all looks really good. especially the visors!!!

[JDMricer]

the shift boot was pretty simple actually, i had a old crappy one that fit like crap, so i just took it apart to see how it was put together and cut the new peices a little bit bigger. thanks for the compliments though:)

[Terrorinc17]

I have leather! Bulk. What would you charge me to do my stuff?

[JDMricer]

hahaha, wow thats a good question, what exactly would you want done?

[gregfarz78]

that looks really good props to mom I can't even get my mom to hem my pants lol

[98s14inaz]

Good idea on the headliner. I'm going to have to try that on mine. Thanks.
