^^^JUST DID MINE THIS WEEK. CAME OUT GOOD FROM FAR, BUT FAR FROM GOOD. NO BUT I NEED TO REDO THE LINING OF THE PAINT. I EVEN DID THE HAZARD LIGHT.

 

pic doesnt work cause you have to right click on the image, select properties, then copy the URL and insert it between the "img" things. what you did was just copy the address in the top of your browser. id rehost it for you but i cant get access to your profile.

 

 

does any one have pics of how to paint the side vents i know how to take them out but i just want to know how people have taped it off or what they did to not paint the blades on them. i just want to paint the trim piece.

 

updated my interior with brushed aluminum door handles:

 

Center Console painted by honey0bucket:

Gauge Trim also by honey0bucket:


Gauge LED Replacement by me and my roomate

Other misc LED's changed to blue

 

orange duplicolor metalcast

 

the trim pops out, do not tape off...there are 6 clips, 2 on the sides, 2 on top and 2 on bottom, use a small screwdriver to pop them out DO NOT JUST PULL, YOU'LL BREAK THE PIECE

 

hey whitewolf.....where do you have the LED's to get the glow off the entire center console like that....kinda diggin it.....

 

wellllll i think that painting the silver trim white sure helps it glow but the LED's i replaced were the dome light, cubby hole light, and shifter light.

 

Been thinking about putting some suede in the interior of my car, probably only the cloth section of the door going into the back seat area. Anyone know how much it costs, just a ballpark figure would be good enough.

 

You want the fabric or labor estimate? I found this site, DIY Upholstery sells pretty much every type of fabric imaginable. (Except for suede matching my Alcantara )

 

question for anyone that has done this themselfs the door panel see how his is blue could it b as easy as just buying fabric and 3M adhesive the cloth to the part that is already black?

 

^^While i bet you *could* technically glue the fabric over the existing fabric.... in my opinion that will look awful. People who have changed that color have actually disassembled the door panel, removed the stock fabric, then stretched/glued their new fabric over it and reassembled the door.

 

yeah i took the panel off yesterday to see how it was assembled and noticed it would b a pain to take apart

 

Where did you get those from? Don't they come standard on the 08 tC's now?

 

Labor costs of getting it done plus fabric.

 

New accents to go with the outside.

 

very nice!
