Stickerbombing dash pieces!

[YAR1S]

pretty neat! if you nee help with installing wink mirror let me know its easy just got to drill two holes in sun visor mount area (wont ruin the visors if you want to go back stock however using visors and wink is impossible i think....

Dadams - Rit Dye. get a big tub that you can completely submerge parts into, and dye them. it will never chip or peel or flake!

Jen - someone linked me to the mirror mounts that glue to the windshield like stock mirrors, so i think im gonig to go with those <3

[Dadams]

I never thought of dying them... That's a pretty good idea! Saves a lot of time that's for sure :P does that only require one coat? Better yet is there a DIY on it?

[mr_miles]

Sure is!

its not so much a coat as it is....boiling parts. coloration depends on how long you dye them!


what to sticker bomb next.......thinking the rear center upper seatbelt mount. it would be obnoxious. I like obnoxious.

[Dadams]

Sounds good dude! Can't wait to see it!

[mr_miles]

then i shall do it tomorrow, lol. wonder how to remove it :O
I pulled the seatbelt as soon as i got home after buying the car, i couldn't stand seeing it out the rear view mirror.

[Dadams]

Yeah I kinda just got used to it :P

[kac]

Looks good

[mr_miles]

Plonk. Covered the big opening on this, figured why not? I wont be putting that seat belt back in. Mod Podging it now, will be in car hopefully before i go to work today :D

[stuffy]

looks great!

[Dadams]

Agreed!

[mr_miles]

yay, 4th coat of mod podge is drying.

Also, in case anyone is wondering about removing stuff like this later on in life, it is very simple. the mod podge actually makes removing the stickers easier, since it strengthens the paper. it wont rip leaving the stick and half the paper down. it comes off with that satisying *pop* sound that happens when it all comes off clean :)

I'm wondering about either dying or replacing my headliner with a black one, or removing it and re-upholstering it. if i re-upholster it, i'm thinking black and red checkerboard. I've never done a headliner......anyone have any insight on that?


Edit: PEEKTURZ





I like. yeah I realized i put a few upside down. Whoops.

[Dadams]

First off new piece looks great! And I've actually wanted to replace the headliner as well to black but I'm not sure how to do it either I was going to try and look for a professional to do it but I'm not sure where to take it

[mr_miles]

I wouldn't have any idea on where to take it to have someone else to do it...... I dislike it when shops work on my vehicles anyhow. Last resort sort of thing.'


my old bosses wife does upholstery, maybe I'll ask her if she wants to do it for me. or teach me.

I did a suede interior on my tC.....our headliner would be much easier.

I think I am gonna do mine with black apholstery paint this time and Neffy on the pillars.If you want to learn how to do it I can show you....pretty much nothing on a car I haven't done over the years....lol

You ever in the Portland area? Lol. I am definitely down to meet up sometime and learn how to do it! Whats neffy? Short of sticker bombing my pillars, i haven't figured out what I want to do to them yet. All i know is they're toooooo boring plain.

[bzinn 1]

Yeah I go down to Portland....Neffy is the dry carbon fiber vinyl Garm has.

I can show how but not headed south till it warms up a bit...lol...but I know how to suede wrap,vinyl wrap,and layup carbon fiber and fiberglass....too many years of being poor and liking to work on modifying cars...

[Dadams]

Please post a DIY if you do end up meeting up with bzinn! Please and thank you! :P
