So last week I bought an uncracked s13 dash for 100 bucks and this weekend decided to put it in. I also decided that while I was switching dashes I might as well freshen up the carpet. Well here it goes.

Saturday started like this.

After about 2 hrs...

Then Sunday, dyed the carpet with Duplicolor Vinyl and Fabric (after a through cleaning of course)

After the carpet dried and another 2 hrs later......

AND the mint dash...
i painted my carpet a while back, and i makes the interior look a lot better... i suggest doing the same to the headliner and getting some nice red bride seats...

Haha yea if i had the time to remove the sound deadening and repaint the whole thing then i would leave it out. But then it would get too loud.

haha yea but it took me since August of 09 to save money and get parts together. Plus i planned on going five lug down the road anyway and didnt see the point in buying 4 lug wheels and then turn around and swap to 5 lug.
