if you can find me a couple of those panel pieces and send them with some vinal i will wrap them for you. it just takes a whileOk I decided to redo my door panels again because the vinyl was just too hard to wrap in some spots here are some pics
Did you do yours in vinyl Lost?
i did mine in fabric,but i know how to do vinal,here in the south the fabric is much nicer in the summertime,the trick to wrapping them is to start in the center and work out,you have to glue a strip in the center,and slowly stretch the vinal outwards. you have to cut it pretty oversize to go around the ends, the other trick you learn with practice is where to cut the material to relieve stress on it as you are pulling it,and also make sure no edges are showing.
You sound like a pro. If I find a extra set I'll send it to you and have you wrap them. What about your seats did you do them in fabric also?
i did my seats in leather,i had that ebay kit,but nothing was even close so i ripped out all the stiching and did them over. thats NOT something i want to try anytime soon again. also make sure when you wrap something, you let the glue set on the part you are wrapping,and the material,it has to dry,then you put it together. don't go cheap on the glue either, elmers spray craft glue isn't going to cut it in an automotive envorment. the majority of my car i used delta glue.
and i cant even drive for 6 months....
Thats Nice!

Yeah that looks awesome! But did it really cost 4 grand?
Where did you have that done, it looks like a professional job to me.
sadly i didnt have part at all in doing it, but it was done at Ls Auto Leather here in GA. the whole interior was dropped of to them and they worked their magic. And yes it really cost 4 grand. Car was being preped to be a showcarso yea its dynomatted, has a molding for a 8inch dvd player on the pass side of the dash, and currently im putting in some gauges under the radio.
For the front and back seats to be wrapped alone was $362 just to give you an idea on the pices..
green speakers will go soonish.... and whole trunk is gonna get done up nice like hehe
This is the kinda interior work i can do:
yay for unmatching seats!
Man that wasn't too bad to wrap the front and backseats. I guess the bulk of the price came from redoing the dash and doorpanels
And having the custom stitching. Looks great!

post a better pic of the center console around the gearshifter,what are the extra switches? and can you get those consoles in junkyards there?
Mmmmm...chocolate-ty
Looks good tomismo did the leather come from the factory?
No more 3G but that doesn't mean i cant look at yours...
the first one from the front is a Antenna switch, second is Headlight wash switch, and the last one is a Seats heater level role switch
Sorry to disappoint you, if you look at the second pick you'll see that the e-break is closer to driver, in US version its in the middle. and yes they are mostly on all EDM models. so its possible to find them here..
edit: find one closeup pick from my donor car ))
hehe I call it sheety brown. most usual color in EDM models and gray.Mmmmm...chocolate-ty
Looks good tomismo did the leather come from the factory?
No that is not leather at all, its leather like seats cover installed by previous owner. when it was new. I was looking under them and discovered that seats are brand new underneath
