The black looks good. How is it holding up?

[VoodooTRD]

Thats looks good. Congrats! :headbang:

[celicatrd93]

looks really nice, good job.not alot of people can pull off alot of red but you did it nice.

[Kore971]

nice!!, it came out perfect :thumbup:

[peeper06]

I like the new setup a lot better! A little too much red for me, but you pull it off nicely!

Why do you have blue led's for the center console since you have a red/black theme going on?

[adalos]

only thing i don't like now is that you got rid of the leather seats. i think the leather seats look better than the ones you have now.

[trd_gts]

thanks for the comments, it took me to long to finish everything especially pulling the dash out.

yup when i sold my first gts the guy wanted to keep the leather seats so i stayed with the cloth seats my new gts came with.

LOVE IT!!!...you had the exact same idea i have been thinking....A-Pillars, underneatch red....nice. only thing you didnt do i plan on doing is the little vents in red(mine blue). mind telling what exactly you used and how many coats etc.. howd you tape off the little air conditioner symbols?

i got all the black and clear i need...all the paint stuff, sandpaper,tack cloths, etc..(i work at sherwin-williams). this will be a jb for the winter months though.

anyways great job!!!

[lpphreakx06]

Too many colors going on IMO, but looks like quality work.

[Sty09]

You need to do something about the clock. good job on the painting though

[mrluilou]

get some red/black seat covers

[TimMy2003]

Is it possible to get the airvents out with the dash still in place ?


I got the stock dash and i just want to pant the air vents and perhaps the mid console

[Jintei]

I like the leather seats better. If only they're on the new setup...

[vegeta4ss]

came out good

[iflabs]

How did you go about not painting over those climate control thingys?

[Nineball]

looks like some extremely intricate taping or OCD-level paint scraping.

[LEDmod]

Looks like alot of work..

I was thinking doing all red with CF for the red color you did on your car... except the bottom area...

[ZildjianDrummer]

Hey how do you take out the upper rear interior plastics that are where the seat belt clamp thing goes, where the rear side windows are.

I have no idea how to take off the seat belt clamp thing and the plastic itself feels tight so im sorta scared of breaking the plastic lol...


Thanks

remove the door sills, then the lower panel piece below that one that goes around the triangle window in the back. You also need to have the hatch pieces out on each side. Then you can remove the hooks at the headliner, and the seatbelt by popping the cover open. Once you have those two removed you should be able to wiggle it loose.

It sucks that they designed it so you have to remove everything to get those out.

[ZildjianDrummer]

awesome thanks for the reply man!

I was gonna take out everything again as well... but i really didnt see how i could take off some of the pieces..

Appreciate it

How did you not paint over the AC decals?

[vegeta4ss]

How did you not paint over the AC decals?
at first glance I thought the stickers were just replaced but that is a really good job. I wonder if a diff. method was used than the vasoline and toothpick approach?

[niquick]

Looks awesome!! I'm thinking of doing mine a lighter grey or a silver color, any note on if it will reflect a lot off the windshield? If I should spray a matte clear coat, or any suggestions to keep glare down?

[trd_gts]

okay guys what i simply did is use the ac decals blitzceli was selling and placed them on the console and painted over them. then once done just peel them off. thanks for all the comments it really was time consuming to do the whole interior.

[Jintei]

^is your car silver? don't you think it would be too contrast having that color scheme in your interior?

[trd_gts]

yup its silver, i know its a little off but i like it better than stock. plus i wanted a 2 tone interior and red looked the best to me than the other colors out there.
