Re: My Black leather interior swap

Wow!!! Looks real clean man!!! I agree about leaving some trim accents tan to - smaller ones. Gives it that semi exotic interior look. Something you'd find in an NSX or Ferrari color scheme. I wish my interior were dark too. Tired of ****ing stains on my rug, and having to mild bleach treat the leather every 6months or so to get rid of human grime. Plus my poor seats are falling apart and I dont think Im gonna modify mine enough to get racing bucket seat upgrades - no matter how dope the look - those things are not so safe without a cage supporting the back.

Why would you put a cage in a 6th gen lol.

Re: My Black leather interior swap

Update with some more pics. Still need a few things finished, but got a lot done since last time i posted pics.

Still need to do the headliner, passenger door, and center console arm rest. Material is a black leather vinyl and suede. Switch bezel was done in a textured plastic paint then heavily cleared with this end product. Also got all new floor mats and other various pieces installed.

Heres a few shots of the headliner 98% complete. Few more finishing touches on it and it will be done.

Also all of the sunvisors, dome light cover, map light cover, sunvisor, A pillars, Quarter panel covers, door sill covers, mirror hardware covers, and other various pieces have been painted the textured plastic paint with 4 coats and cleared with 5 coats.

Im in the process of redoing the "oh sh*t" handle and sunroof visor handle with metal ones that will be powedercoated black chrome.

Wrapped the back pieces with hot glue to hold each of the portioned chunks down. Then we sealed everything down with a liquid epoxy then smoothed on a layer of polyurethane to harden the fabric to the headliner to ensure a nice tight bond. The headliner itself was sprayed down with 3M 90 Adhesive which is their strongest formula done in 1'x1' sections because of the very quick tackying qualities it has.

Sun shades were sealed shut so that the paint doesnt wear down, plus i dont use them much anyways.
