VERY nice - I'm diggin' the subtle approach! Hey question - what mount are you using for your TomTom GPS? I thought about putting mine in that same spot but was concerned about being able to shift (manual trans) as well as how to mount the darn thing. Thanks and kudos on the waterfall work!

 

I used the windshield mount... it's stuck to the right-side inside "wall" of the cubbyhole... you have to make sure that the surface is super smooth and clean. It helps to moisten the suction cup before sticking it on. The shifter blocks a small part of the screen, but I have the short shifter and I also recently put on a smaller shift **** and everything is fine now.

 

if im going to paint my water fall and the gague thing etc should i sand down everything before?

 

yes

 

yes!

 

 

looking sharp marcial!

 

Marcial taking credit for my work, huh?

 

LOL. This makes me what to have my interior painted. I was thinking about FM the whole HVAC side and centers, gauge cluster, and steering wheels.

 

Do it! I was going to do mine FM, but am going to go with a custom color.

 

I'm trying to figure out my interior theme at the moment, are you still doing custom painting kennon?

 

Sorry, cannot say I am. Doing 13 free paint jobs and then I am done with Scions for good.

 

Flea, had a question, i did my interior and it came out ok, not mirror shiny but glossy at least, i decided to do it again and take my time with it, layed 2 coats of primer, 15 minutes apart, let dry for 1 hr, then did 3 coats of paint, one light, one med, and one semi heavy, 15-20 min appart then let sit for 1 hr, then did 3 medium-heavy coats of clear and finally let the parts sit for a week inside my garage, unmolested

then i wetsanded 1000, then 2000 untill all the "pits" and "orange peel" was gone, then used polish, compound, wax etc etc and finally got that perfect mirror shine! it was absolutely beautiful i couldnt believe it! lol

so i put them back in the car, i drive to work in the morning, park my car outside 70-85 degree weather, typical florida, so i get in to go home, and WTF the orange peel is back!! WTF happened? could the heat have messed it up, maybe primer didnt stick? what the hell did i do wrong?

its nuts, it was so beautiful and shiny, now its shiny but with orange peel, and its not soft at all, still hard as paint should be!

any help would be appreciated!

 

^ Got any pictures. May I ask..... why would you re-primer a surface that was once painted? Did you strip ALL of the paint off and then start all over again or just spray primer on top of an existing paint job?

 

:D I'm one of them. Yay!


sorry for not posting any pics, but I sure will when ever it gets done. I'm so frieken excited

 

x2 haha and im only getting my waterfall done if i would have done the whole interior GOOD GOD!

 

yea. me too. I was thinking about how all the other pieces would look ( door handles, air vents, ect..), and i figured, nah.. they're already black, and I don't want random pieces of different blacks floating around. So I'm just getting the waterfall, and I might have asked him to do the oh poop handles. .. i forgot

 

oh poop handles definatly cause there off in color lol

 

 

awesome! I can't wait! did mouse send u his interior yet?
