Here's a place in California that has a couple of other cool ones that you can buy as many yards as you want:

Oh that's friggin' sweet. Crisis averted! headliner will be done.

You can make your own stickers in photoshop :3

Also, Ive seen people do a "digital" sticker bomb and have a sign shop print it on vinyl then wrap the entire hood or something.

I've been thinking about making my own stickers! I can get everything to get started for a decent price, too...

I uh, got wheels yesterday so the piece i am sticker-bombing right now got put on hold. it just needs the Mod Podge put on and it's ready. been searching for the best price for 195/50/r16 tires. (and lugs)

anyways, phototime. third brake light go!

You can get vinyl sticker paper for a regulas printer, youll just have to trim any blank areas around what you print off.

Sign shops should be cheap too, did the 10x10 square foot total of decals on it for right at 100 bucks, and that was installing too.

If theres anything simple you want, I might be able to crank some out in my computer art class.

A very creative and unique idea.

TickleTimeTim · 01-26-2012, 10:29 PM

this is awesome. can't believe i haven't seen it til now. keep it up. rims next?

mr_miles · 01-26-2012, 10:55 PM

my new (used) wheels are sitting in my living room - waiting for my tires to get here!

My spikes just came in! I can De-badge and move my front license plate now!

Sometime in the future I'm going to powdercoat these - probably pink. I'm not the biggest fan of gold but for the price I paid I couldn't pass these up. thats not curb rash, it's on the rubber. the have a few nicks here and there but its mostly paint that came off.

These are going on the liftgate where the Toyota badge is, and in the holes for the front license plate. don't know if or where I'll put more.

awesome

yayyy, tinkering today with the car, might as well post what I did. Talked to Jeff today about my getting stuck in reverse issue - suggested i adjust the shifter cable, but i couldn't quite figure out how. so while i was in that area of the car...... I ran my amp's power cable! Don't worry, it's not plugged in battery side, yet. I made a small hole in the heater hose grommet, and fed it through there, then zip tied it up out of the way, and then down through the center console.

then since I was bored, i started cleaning the engine bay up a little bit. removed some of the nasty electrical tape and other wire shielding, and replaced it with the loom. also removed all the foam on the hoses, it was stained and blotchy. then i went over a majority of my wiring and removed all the excess plastic clips and organized / routed it, and started replacing the wire loom that was bad. i need a lot more.

tomorrow I'm going to remove the bolts for the engine cover, and start sanding the valve cover down to remove the spots. then a quick spray of engine bright, a splash of water, and some tire shine to prep her for the warm weather of hoodless driving! (and then the fiberglass hood from garm)

here's a better shot of the horn, btw :)

That looks good, man! I just removed my engine cover the other day and now I realize that it doesn't look as good as I thought it did.

Maybe I need to tidy it up as you did.

popy costa from micro-snausages!

Bye Bye 522's, Hello D2's! I was kind of torn about that until i mounted them. They fit perfect! almost flush with the fenders. a little rolling and moar low, and it'll be tuckin' like mad.

clean clean clean. gotta get some strong cleaner to do the insides, looks like a CV boot tore and flung grease all around one.

Cannot wait to see pics of these spikes in! Awesome idea!
This thread is great, also looking forward to seeing the headliner!

My girlfriend wants to sticker-bomb my whole car now, after seeing this. We'll see.

mr_miles · 01-26-2012, 11:19 PM

Originally I was worried about people bumping into them and or taking them, but lock-tite ought to help with the later of the two. Debating painting them as well. going to leave the first two unpainted and see how they hold up.

If someone bumps into them and screws up the liftgate, that's all the more reason for me to speed up the process of buying the fiberglass / carbon fiber one.
