[david]

Started with the black and beige Interior. Going all black. Pics from start to finish will be added soon
All of this was done by myself with no prior upholstery work. Just DIY research online

It should be all black from the factory if you have a black interior! My opinion

 

[ocal21]

That looks real good, good work

 

[Mikefx35]

I paid 850 to get mine done. The guy probably used same material you did and made a huge profit of me and I removed almost everything except the headliner which I was scared to touch and painted all the pieces myself

 

[david]

Wow. I was guessing 600 to get it done.

 

[jcasanova]

wow that looks really good david! i've been thinking about doing this to my interior as well, where did you get the suede material from?

 

[david]

Hancock fabrics. $21 a yard but I got it for 54% off

 

[jayfx35]

great job man...keep it up

 

[Dracula]

nice, did you use a special paint for the plastics?

 

[david]

Rustoleum paint for plastic There are probably better ones out there though

 

[shadow191]

Let me know how that paint works out for surfaces you touch. I've never been able to find a paint that works well on areas like grab handles and such. The texture has always been sort of weird. On previous cars, I tried a lot of different plastic and vinyl dyes and could never get one that I liked. I keep meaning to buy new black grab handles because the grey ones stand out a little bit from the suede headliner in my car. The price isn't too bad for new ones, but obviously paint is cheaper.

 

[Chedman13]

wow, looks great. I'd pay you to do mine if you were local! At least the suede.

 

[la_fx35]

Nice job.

 

[Chedman13]

Nice job.

When are you opening up your own West Coast Customs? Maybe "West of Chicago Customs"??

Just waiting for you to do a suede roofliner, so Chris and I can jump in line to have you do our cars next...

Great ideas Ed. You know I have other plans I can lend a hand if you guys want to do it.

Wow, David nice job! I've been talking about doing this all summer.

Andrew, let's rip my car apart and get this done!

Great ideas Ed. You know I have other plans I can lend a hand if you guys want to do it.

 

[la_fx35]

If you up for it, let's do it. I know you been wanting to do it for the longest time.

it wasnt that difficult. I still have no feeling in my right index fingertip though Thanks for all the comments

I used black bedliner spray on the loops around the seatbelts, all other plastic was with the other paint

I didnt reinstall the sunvisors or grab handles I did add extra support in those ares since they hold up a little bit of the top.

I love it. My sub also sounds better now or it may just be me. Carbon fiber wrapping the aluminum trim next
