well i had alot of downtime since my car is down getting motor work done. So sorry for the crappy dark pics, not much light in the shop
I redid the typical headliner/ sunroof cover (YES i said SUNROOF COVER) and pillar pieces in black suede and did the dash panels in 3m carbon fiber vinyl

let me know what you guys think.. its my first time doing this work and i thought it came out pretty good wayyy better than the sheet Mitsu gives you from factory

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




the headliner dirty and all



all the interior pieces that are going to get converted to suede/black paint





The ceiling gutted out



had to put the seats down and get the headliner into a crazy angle in order to take out

came out good man. Nice job

 

I like it. How much did it end up costing you for all of the material. What exactly do you have to do to make this work?

 

Not bad at all. I'm getting my headliner in black suede next week too, can't wait for that.

 

came out to like $120 for 4 yardsof suede and $50 for 4x6 sheet of CF vinyl.. glue was $12 used 3 cans.. a little more than i expected but well worth it.. cleaned up the interior alot!

 

Impressed with your work. Nicely done!

 

thanks man still need to do a pillars and sun visors.. i dont think ima put the oh shi*t handles back in tho.. looks cleaner

 

Looks pretty good. hope it was easy, cause it will fade quick

I eliminated my O-**** handles when i did mine, it looks much cleaner.

I saw you PMd me, didnt forget, just bene busy and gotta get a price together. Ill shoot you one back soon!

 

yes it was easy only thing i had trouble with was the sunroof cover its a pita to take off the rails

but as long its not the headliner or sunroof cover that fade ill be fine

 

lol seen you have a ap1 as a daily weird i just got rid of my bb ap1 and got a gpw ap2

 

im considering doing this to my gts... great results man!

 

looks good, i recently painted the panels black and now i need to do the small trims and visors.

 

Whatd you end up doing for the visors? They, conceptually, seem to be the toughest for a diy'er like myself. Seems like youd have to restitch new fabric onto em as they aren't paintable?

 

these type of threads are giving me some good ideas!! nice pics!

 

Not bad looks real good I need to do that as well but to lazy more worried about my turbo then my interior. I did the valve cover, radiator brackets and misc screws/bolts in black to clean it up some but thats all. I did however paint the seats with the fabric paint and it came out great I will send some pics to you so you can see it. No issues with rub off so far or fadeing as others have not had either. If you plan on keeping the VIII seats I's suggest it to go with the black look lol. Also are you going to MIR this sunday for Imports vs. Domestics? I am going to be heading down with rony and some of his friends after I get off work.
