Great progress!

MrAdam · 01-24-2011, 11:47 PM

Looks like you're off to a good start! got ur car 2 months after me.

Evap · 02-05-2011, 06:38 PM

Thanks guys.

Just put up a small interior update for today.

jpawela · 02-05-2011, 08:23 PM

Looking great!

///Mostarac · 02-07-2011, 01:02 AM

the interior looks really sexy man, where did you get the fabric? its deff givin me ideas of what to do with my interior! Front bumper is definitely a must, will make a world of a difference!

Evap · 02-07-2011, 10:01 AM

Thanks! I finished wrapping the wood surrounding the shifter (worst piece to wrap) and the trim above the light switch. I just picked the fabric up at a Hancock's Fabric store near here. It was $15 a yard, and it feels like a really soft t-shirt. hahaha. I'm considering wrapping part of my door panels in it.

Dominic.G. · 02-08-2011, 10:48 AM

Looking really good!

Evap · 02-18-2011, 10:13 AM

Smoked corners/sides and m3 bumper! That was fun to fit on Hahaha.

edit: That other picture was giant.

Sweet .... n sexy

///Mostarac · 02-18-2011, 11:55 AM

nice man

how much did the shop charge for painting the bumper?

invictus · 02-18-2011, 12:09 PM

houndstooth ftw

Evap · 02-18-2011, 12:45 PM

The shop didn't charge me anything for it except paint. My grandfather is good friends with the owner, so all I had to do was give him $50 for the paint.

And yes! I'm so happy I ended up going with houndstooth. I almost went with a couple of other patterns, but this one really stuck and I'm happy about it. There are a few spots I need to rewrap, but it was a fun learning experience.

wdeerfield · 02-18-2011, 01:12 PM

nice work! love the car, although im a little bias because of the color. steel gray ftw! houndstooth looks good! still debating on what to do with my trim. silver is nice but its getting old to look at.

Evap · 02-19-2011, 12:01 AM

Thanks! Steel grey is definitely ftw.

If you're willing to use fabric to cover your trim, your possibilities are endless!
