Default Two Mods in a week?!?

Even though they are simple mods, it was fun

Blacked out tail lights (I recieved for my birthday)



And my headliner was finished yesterday. We started at 7 and ended at 130. Ran into some problems, but it turned out nice





I still have more to do with the headliner, but its coming along quite nicely. Need to find more suede so I can do the pillers and the sunroof.

so far so good.. I have driven right infront of them... I guess if one is being in a bad mood, then I may get pulled over, but we will see...

EDIT: bad grammar.. lol

I tinted my tail lights but only went with 2 coats of VHT, I didn't want blacked out tails, ended up matching the BCP on the rest of my car. Really just wanted to kill the bright RED on the tails. They are dark dark red but not black tinted.... I really like the way they look.... sort of hidden in the body!

techick your xA is looking really good. I love the red headliner.
When it is time for me to do the headliner, I'm going to do it in white suede.

I need to go to Orlando for the weekend and come hang out.

it really isn't that hard. It ws the first time beccari and I did headliner. It turned out to be easy... well.. as easy as it could be. The curves are a little tricky but still fairly simple concept. Apply glue (either contact cement or spray adhesive which we used so it wouldn't bleed through the fabric). Let the glue get tacky and then apply fabric. smooth out all the wrinkles and what not. Thats the basics of it anyways.
