calm down buddy! u cant post something and not expect criticism.. no need to get defensive.. btw cars far from stock.. some care more about performance than looks.. but enough about that.. like i said craftmanship looks great im just not a fan..
here is some paint (more of a dye) that is awesome it accually binds and sinks into the plastic not just coat (wont scratch or chip).. will be perfect for your lights and trim and what not .. what i used for all the pillars and lights when i did my black suede headliner..
stuff is awesome.

with using that stuff does it make it so you can't change the color again? how long have you had it on your car and how has it held up?

 

probably for about 10 months and its been fine.. its basically a spray dye.. you could probably just paint over it if you really had to just make sure you clean real well before doing so..
if you really want somthing that will hold up really really well get a full blown dye

 

i just want to make all my plastic pieces black so whatever works best. where would you get the dye at?

 

to be honest with you if youve never done it with real dye i would stick with the paint..

 

ha why you say that? i'm pretty good with my hands and working on stuff so i bet i could handle it unless there is some unseen difficulty i can imagine.

 

just copied the link, and am going to give it a shot!! Thanks for the link- I was going to go all black in the interior (including headliner) but after doing my dash, and discovering that desert climates are not too friendly (dust and cleaning) I switched to red. By the way, I dig performance also- currently have a Peakboost top mount with a hta 35, 2.0 long rod (manley I beams and pistons, L19's, cosworth main studs, ams alum pan, tomei 270's, 2 255 pumps, 1450 cc injectors) I have an f con, but will be tuned on stock ecu for motor break in, then the e85!!! I cant wait!!! I cant deny I dig looks also, sporting voltex, c west, and varis with 18x10.5 ame wheels!!! Ill be posting up pics of the car when its complete, along with a few how to's (including a nice write up on the rear voltex over fenders!!!)

 

Here is my Suede dash in my eclipse, Evo is next, just got to get back home

that looks pretty good

 

Sounds like a good setup.. Yea i can understand y u didnt go all black now.. sand and dust central down there.. i thought i had it bad up here with a black car..
gl man and look forward to seein the writeups!

 

I did mine this same way and it was very difficult. I could never get it perfect so I ended up back at stock. Please don't get a dash cover

 

I say that cause its not just paint.. if u mess up you cant just take it off and start over..once its there its there..
stick with the paint basically the same results just easier to work with and noob friendly

 

well if its going to be black just take the part off and go to town on it

 

Thanks dude!

 

So what your saying is that you ran out of skill...lol.

A BLACK suede wrapped dash would be very nice, no stitching needed. The red is just horrible...and WAYYYY too much. If the top of the dash was red too...ehhhhh.
