So a little Dilemma.. i purchased This gen bride material because i was going to re-trim the centres on my lowmax's as the graduation was wearing off on me... its a little busy if you get me, but now when im weighing them up the graduation is growing on me again... i can get graduation material also, what do people reckon?

stay graduation? or go for the Black centers...
the seats. as they are with the Graduation Material

Bride Black Material

horrible picture but you get the idea.

this is what it should look like

if i go for the black, i will be retriming

~the Fabric on the door cards
~Lowmax seat cushions
~then fabric dye the rear seats black, and retrim the centers of the back seats with the Bride materaial also.

but it is a tough one, Graduation material or black material :/ i need opions on this one...

Struck gold and found a guy who was stripping his wheels and replacing them by putting on 6" lips so gave me these

best i found was a company in germany who make barrels,
Two 3.5" lips delivered to Ireland is working out at E470.

will go back over it again as there are a few rough places where i missed with the higher grades. but TBH it beats paying E500 for second hand scratched lights

now onto the interior

fuckn hell the amount of times i used thinners and that never happend! strange wan

**rob_180sx** · 27-09-12, 16:35

same happened me before on an integra with the cracks in the lamps, the joys of plastic headlights!

nice job bringing them back though! took alot of sanding and patience i imagine!

To say it was a stomach wrenching moment when it happened would be a understatement,those s15 lights aint cheap, found out it was N20 thinners, think its different to regular thinners

so started today at the door cards,

First take one s15 door card (pool table optional)

Carefully ripped off the fabric,

spend hours rubbing off every last piece of foam so the adhesive has something solid to stick to. and mask off the edge.

apply the adhesive to both the door and the fabric.

as soon as they touch that's it so you better have it lined up right the first time.

then carfully trim the extra off

one down one to go,

has anyone ever used fabric dye before? looking into it for the back seats but cant find anything,

i want something proper that wont rub off onto peoples clothes,

my old gear gaitor looked like a dog got at it at some stage, was torn allover, so with with the leftovers of the doorcards i thought id try and muster something up,

looks like i would just have enough

Didnt take long, but i put alot of effort into it and it paid off, red stiched to match the seats and wheel, its not just bride material sown up in a cone shape like iv seen other people do
