:bong: Well I believe I fixed my leak for now, Might just be a temporary fix, but for now it's not leaking and it's been raining all day. I might end up having to get all new replacement drain lines for the sunroof and antenna, because mine and missing pieces, and one separated slightly. I rigged it up for now with some electrical tape, but if it does fine I'll leave it at that. Here are some pics of the undercoating I sprayed before I put the carpet back in. Cleaned my carpet by hand with just a water hose and some all purpose cleaner. Very clean. Even cleaner than my floormats now. The coating helps deaden sound, and now all I hear is my exhaust.

^Nope just used a tire brush (thick, stiff bristles) and my water hose, and some industrial strength household cleaner that someone homemakes. And to anyone who doesnt know yeah the undercoating may not have been the right choice....but I dont think it's gonna catch on fire anytime soon.

I hope that is at least rubberized undercoating so it set up. I hope you have all your heat shelds on under the car, and keep your windows cracked on hot days. You may see a film start to develop on your windows also.
Looks like you need an armrest console!!! man I will tell you it makes all the difference in the world for comfortable driving and having an easy place to stash stuff like cheap sunglasses:rockon:
you dont live too far from me so I know it gets hot, and hey I can get you a console, shipping would be cheap,next time im at the JY, which should be VERY soon. I only takes like five minutes to install cuz you dont take out the shifter trim, it just slides under ...just like that piece for the E brake housing.

Nah nah its cool I took out the old armrest. It was cracked slightly, but I didn't really like it. Yeah it set up and it was rubberized. I just have to put my rear seat in and be done. I leave my windows cracked on hot days anyway, because of the crack in my windshield. Oh btw we should get a meet up sometime. Also if you need some hardcore 3geez parts check out Hugh Jones jy close to Pendegrass. they have quite a few 3gs and keep gettign stock just about every week.

well i used the duplicolor paint that you can get on autozone...it was good...but i started out with a brown carpet and now its just super dark brown. the SEM paint its better...but it leaves the fabric stiff.

Thanks for the comments guys!

^Bitesize, new carpet is overrated! :) Its just too expensive. I washed and cleaned mine myself, total of 30 minutes, and I think it looks pretty new, especially since it was extremely dirty.

^HondaBoy, my 18s are gone. Just didn't like them enough, made my car feel even slower. The 14s I have now are my newest rims, my stock alloys are my winter wheels, but I'm still running the 14s at the moment.

^frankie89, if you really want to paint your carpet that bad you might want to get another carpet kit. Painting is good and all, but in the long run, the paint will more than likely wear off. I sprayed my floormats stock grey color, and now they have turned back into faded grey. Why do you want to paint your carpet? Too dirty?
