interior fabrics........

[ESPER]

hello, i just ripped the ugly (IMHO) cloth from the doors, so how the hell do i remove that spongy leftover crap?? thanks to all who reply!!

[nlzmo400r]

light weight but unfortunately kick u in the balls expensive carbon fiber would cover that up nicely, or fiberglass, however to remove thecrap u have now, try using a scapel, im having a hard time picturing what kind of predicament ur in rite now, some pics would help out alot if u can, good luck

[Infamous]

use a paint sscraper, or box cutter (i think thats what its considered...dunno tho)

[BB Turbo]

Use a shovel, and maybe a frisbee. Any plastic stuff should work....i.e., forks, knives, spoons, and sporks. Kidding of course, try a paint scraper, and in hard to reach areas, a flat head screw driver. Try alcantara suede for fabric, o0O0oh, that feels nice.

[ESPER]

well u have to be careful, because the material under the cloth is the same vinyl-ish material lining the doors, i wouldnt want to punture or ruin that then my door would DEFINITELY be ruined, but i will continue trying goo gone, etc. and some non sharp scrape stuff, and i will try to get some pics, i dunno though, thanks!!

I wanted to do mine too, but noticed that spongy crap underneath and just left it. If you get it scraped off let me know what works best. My email is [email protected]

do any companies sell interior kits or anything? or can we do what honda people do, like for example swap interior for say a jdm s15?

i used pro stripper adhesive remover in a spary can from lowes to get it off. u have to be careful with it it will eat off stuff liek paint like its nothing. spray that on and jsut wipe off with a rag. i have before and after pics i can send someone if they want to see. i put in black vinyl (sp?)

[1991240xs]

if you see the spongey stuff..you're not ripping off the bottom layer or backing from the cloth...it should come off smoothe

[sxse]

Structure, I would love to see pics, I kind of want to do that to.

And where do you get suede or the vinyle? any clues?

[ESPER]

ok i will get that stuff thanks!! go to a fabric store heeh thats what i might do , or i just might leave it black!!

[yellwmonky]

i would like to see pics as well structure. I just put leather seats in and my cloth doors and glove box is looking uglier than ever.

[1991240xs]

yall aren't listening..if you do it right..allt he cloth and then another layer under that will come off and it will be the same material as the rest of the door-

[bob marley]

Try alcantara suede for fabric, o0O0oh, that feels nice.

NOOOOOO!!! You stole my idea. I was going to do that for the door panels and rear seats so that it will match my Sparcos (when I get them). Alcantara suede feels so nice.

Where can you buy Alcantara Suede by itself? I know Sparco sells fabrics, but they are pretty expensive.

Do you know if this is true for the glove box too?

The only place i know that sells alcantara suede is sparc, i know they sell it but for a high price. That would be phat if you did that. The idea is both of ours, how bout that?:ylsuper

[1991240xs]

the gloebox is different..you'd have to rewrap it in vinyl-

[sxse]

91240 I am listening... its just that 2 tone doors look better/less cheap IMO plus there is a big grove w/o the carpet there.

[ESPER]

how about i get in on the idea cuz i ripped the fabric off my door panels!! what is alcantra suede anyways?? hehee by the way waht should i do about the reaer seats??

[sultan]

alcantara suede is a strong man made suede-like fabric. looks really nice and won't wear out for a long time. you can find steering wheels, shift boots, and racing seats with it.

[ESPER]

ahhh, that must be the fabric on those momo and sparco steering wheels!! right on, thanks!!

[y3llows14]

Have you guys checked this out yet?http://www.240sx.org/links/gro....html

[ESPER]

Ok, it's our idea :ylsuper . heh. Yea, sparco charges a lot for the alcantara per square foot, and there is a minimum you must purchase too.

I like your sig Sultan (simpsons right?)

BB Turbo H C S15 and bob marley: I think you guess took everybody idea. Suede does have a great feel to it. i wanted as well.

[yeswepromise]

Bride sells fabric that you can use on the rear seats or soor panels. i forget who sells it.

[BB Turbo]

Just try all of the seat companies, like bride, sparco, recaro, corbeau, and all of those other little companies.

BTW, SilviaLuvr, it is our idea, cuz we posted it.......sucker!

True, true.

I just thought of something. I could replace all that nasty fabric with suede, but what would I do with the glove box? Wouldn't it look kinda goofy if it was suede? Would covering it with vinyl look better?

Thanks, Johann

[MainEvent212]

i donno how to cover the glove box...it's very confusing. i have alot of black vynil that i'm covereing things in...i made a "custom" rear seat that takes up less space and looks alot cooler...i'll have to post it when i'm done with it

[stutt944]

mainevent212... keep us updated. sounds interesting.

any figures on this alcantara suede from sparco? how much are we talkin here?
