If I had wood I would probably do this. I have that black marble-looking interior though, I love it.

<< has got wood! (LOL, damn that sounds dirty!)

jrm1508

that was what was actually around the deck, but the owner before me had circuit city do it so it sucked and was peeling. idk if was the stuff you put in hoods or not but my brother in law said it was cf, btw he did most of work i helped though lol.
but you could probably do it with that cf i just don't think you could put the shiny glaze finish on it for clearence issues.

lol thought of that after i posted it, was thinking how many people are gonna make a joke of the title lol.


thanks for the comments, wasn't sure about it at first but once we finished the first panel, i knew it was gonna look good. it's not something you learn to do over the weekend, especially with those panels. it really helped that i had a pro that works on nuggets cars lol, or else would've paid more and prob not as good of a job.

Thats different for sure and looks good too. A double din would have looked better but still better than what I got lol. Good stuff

jrm1508

some kind of fabric glue in a spray gun hooked to a compressor, heat gun, vinyl textured to match the seats closly (should've matched to dash), and a pro lol.

yea it looked cool i had it as my background untill i photoshoped that picture u took of my car in the garage. yea i want to do a drop also and some rims, doing the fogs this weekend, also removing resonator or wat ever, restoring my head lights, and i just finished my grill today, also a 6sp swap lol jk i wish.

it came in the car and it works so ima keep untill it stops working lol, i got lucky all the basic stuff i was gonna do came with it, alarm, deck, hands free, 15% tint.

I thought for sure this was gonna be a viagra thread or something inappropriate!

Funny...people used to pay big bucks to have the wood trim added! Looks nice and sleek though...great job!@

jrm1508

lol, yea it used to be real too, it jus makes it look cheap like fake cf lol.

. N B P .

is there a DIY for taking that wood trim off?

jrm1508

you just open the center console and start to pull up there's like 4-6 clips, no screws.

. N B P .

Cool thanks

mstaj10

was that difficult and expensive to do?? where did u go to get the new interior??

SLAKERZ

Looks like the black color is a little off/darker than the dash. Looks clean though. Great work.

jrm1508

yea we matched to the seats but should've to the dash

jrm1508

wouldn't suggest doing it your self unless you have experience in it, don't know how much it would cost for a shop to do it, idk where he got the fabric but it was $13 for a square yard

Cheapens the look of the car IMO, but to each his own

jrm1508

i think the "FAKE" wood cheapens the look, but i guess some like it.

another time when not having wood is a good thing.

VU-Spec

yeah i love the look but still want to make it a nice gloss black

ftLauTL

Very clean dude, I did the same thing to that as well as all my wood trim on the doors, the shiftgate and maplight


all came out pretty good

. N B P .

^ you got any pics?

. N B P .

I just vinyled mine up right now. Didn't get to the doors yet. It came out pretty nice, im happy with the outcome.

^ Did you go with a glossy vinyl or is that just the lighting?

. N B P .

I went with the glossy vinyl, i think it would have looked better with the flat look.

^ Gotcha. Well...live and learn.

the fact that "fake" woodgrain has become some sign of high end in cars these days is a joke.

interior that either matches the car or has a simple 2 color scheme looks way cleaner and more sophisticated then crappy mock wood trim.

they should have started with the marble colors and stuck with that.

OP.. looks 10 times better.. cant wait to get mine painted..

now to just find a shift knob that i like in black

jrm1508

thanks, im trying to find a new shift knob too, the only one i have found are momo and they are so expensive
