Here you can compare it to the center console piece I have wrapped

This is it compared directly to the vinyl

Who ever mentioned something about how they think it would get dirty quick was about half right. Dirt shows up better but the vinyl is a lot easier to clean

Looks sharp! I wouldn't mind grabbing some for my CG1 some day.

Fixed the wiring so my parking lights come on with car alarm.



Forgot I had ordered these a month ago haha

This is why I had wrapped some of my interior in brushed aluminum. It actually matches pretty well. I'm sure nobody will notice it on my car but I know it there's so :lawl:


Looks great!

Where did you get em and how much?

How durable you think they are against scratches, bend, etc?

Got them off ebay for $40. That includes shipping

They seem pretty durable. They just stick on. I should've added more adhesive just for good measure

I was gonna try some of the carpet dye on my floor mats and see how that turns out. I'm also talking to my friend who does interior. I'm seeing how much it will cost to get my door panels and arm rest reupholstered in black leather. My main concern right now is my paint

Replaced the button that came with my Bluetooth streamer (iSimple Transit Blu HF - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00FRU5UNA/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_6g1Wub1WQKYD9

It just came with double sided tape which worked fine but I never really liked how it looked and the green paint has been chipping away.

Replaced with lighted buttons.

I had to add resisters to tone it down cuz they were super bright. Won't be posting pics of those since they are about the same dim as factory lights. Later on I will hook the button light to the dimmer knob at instrument cluster.

Kinda scary to drill into the bezel (16mm holes) but it was not problem.

Most frustrating thing was to program the new button to the bluetooth system. I thought it would be easy since it is a two wire momentary button. Took an e-mail to Tech support to send me special instructions to program non-stock button. :shakes head "psst, what ever:

Several Radio Shacks are closing down so I picked up components at discount price for future projects.

Cleaned my wheels using a microfiber gloves for the first time; Made it easier to have the job done.

Filled it up. Gas is getting cheaper!
