congrats!

 

Thanks. New owner just left with it and is driving it back to Texas. He was absolutely thrilled and said he has never seen such a clean Evo.

 

Sean, Am i understanding this correctly? And you didnt even try to stop him?

No, congrats, but just a bit sad that youve moved on

 

Yep your heard correctly! I just let him drive it away. Sadly I am not sad about it. It was time to part ways. The Supra has spoiled me so thats the direction I will continue going.

 

Motor being assembled and got my fabric in for my rear seat centers to be recovered.

 

Bought the following:

• New OEM Evo 9 Front Bumper
• New OEM Evo 9 SE Lip
• New OEM JDM Evo 9 Rear Bumper
• New JDM Evo 8 MR HID Headlights
• Used Rare Quarter Panels

Started to clean up the relay panel sitting on the passenger side floor, thinking of switching to a Kaizen Relays or suck it up and grab the haltech PMU

 

Got the rear seats back super fast...here are my Evo 8 rears with the centers (originally that waffle texture blue) recovered in Recaro confetti fabric. My upholstery place added foam to the backs of the fabric to make them plush and puffy, not sure if that's what you're suppose to do but I think they came out awesome! Also the lighting is a little funky in the pictures but the fabric is darker in person but it's a good contrast between the black cloth and the confetti fabric.

Let me know what you guys/ gals think...

 

^^^Wow, super nice!

 

Thanks Joe! I'm really digging them also...Sean has got me convinced to get my front jdm Recaro seat centers done in the same . Also I'm gonna head out on Saturday to check out the racing at Fontana, gonna bring the puppers and gf if you can make it .

 

Thank SoSo. If i go it will be early & leave early. Have a family luncheon to attend

If you see that White RS putting around, that be me!

 

How many yd2 did this take? Did you pay $75/yd2

That's a price I found from a quick search. looks great.

 

Yeah I got them off a website called downsouthjdm...if that's the same place you found that's it . Their service was awesome and shipping came super quick from GB to US none the less. It took x2 of those $75 units to recover the rears, only had a lil bit of scraps left over (seen above in the pics) but not enough to recover anything else.

 

Make a little wallet with the leftover scraps!

 

I'm a fan of the confetti. I grew up in the 80s so...


​​You only planned to do the rears? All four seats being done would be really cool, IMO.

 

Oh yes, front seats are a must! I mean you have already gone this far, whats a little more?

See you tomorrow!

We will be chillin in the RV so may not see you passing by. Just look for my Supra if you go and park next to it.
