How did he get the cloth into them?

With like a screw driver or something? Cause I dont see how you just use ur hands heeh

what's the fabric you use.........how much?

Nice job Looks good. I dont think I wil do mine cause I like my interiror

thanx guys, the cost was 3 bux, i used red cotton and nylon mix, cuz its more fade resistent but i recomend satin (stuff wont stick to it) as for putting it on, i used a credit card like card. i believe the DIY explains all of it. if u have more questions, holla my way and i'll hit u up with the answers

BTW Stinky or othe mods, can u put it in the DIY section. it will stay on my account as a permanent thing but if u dont mind i will be greatful

Thanks 2003C-RollaCE! I'm probably gonna go get some fabric and try it tonight. I've been meaning to do it for a long time, and just haven't had the patience. I'm feeling it in me tonight though. I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks again!

sorry i just realised, my DIY doesnt mention how much cloth to use, i used 1.5 yards. i would have had a little extra, but i messed up one of the doors so make sure u get enough

Ok, so 1.5 yards, and I'll be good to go...for all four doors? I didn't even think to ask, so thanks for telling me.

np bro, glad i could help ya. what color u going for

to all others who will do this

i have updated the DIY to include a few more key points and i highly recomend trying to wee where the card flows to before u start inserting the cloth. this will also give u an idea of where all the clips holdin that part to the door are and be patient with it

Ha ha...bro! Good stuff! I'm a chick though, but you can call me bro if you want, I don't care 8). I'm going to get blue that matches my neons, seats, headunit, and steering wheel cover. I already had some fabric that I bought a while back in the exact color I wanted, but my grandmother got a hold of it...so I have none left. I'm going to go get some soon, and hopefully do the DIY tonight. We shall see!

lol, my bad, i messed up. i didnt know. most chix have names that prettymuch give it away but urs is what my friends called my car when i first got it. lol sorry, no bro for u, i would have remembered if u would have posted up pic up in the thread Zero started

loooks good, nice DIY...

nice job man, looks really good.

Good job!!! tried it myself with some silver satin and it turned out pretty cool. just did the driver side and the one behind it for now. let me tell all of you that it does take a lot of patience coz i tried to rush with the other door and it came out ugly and i totally wasted the fabric. really easy DIY w/ excellent results 8)

hey sf_rolla...can you post a pic of your door inserts cause i'm thinkin about doin it, but i wanna see how it looks on yours. i got a silver 03 rolla S. thanx...

sure im gonna take some pix with my digi cam this week but i dont know how to post pics. If someone could help me out that would be cool... 8)

Do you mean help as in how to post them, or how to work the camera with your computer, or what? I'm sure I can help you.

i was hoping i could email the pics to someone and have them post the pics coz i know i can host the pics if use that imagestation thing or cardomain but im too lazy to sign up :roll:

lol...if no one else will host them for you...i will 8)

i have offered several times. that is why i host Tatto Boyz Girls' pics. email them to me, i'll do em

Aint that the truth. i told you cuz my very first door i messed up and left a ton or wrinkels in it so i figured i'll tell you guys b4 hand

umm through all this simplicity, i think we overlooked one thing. satin stains easily with water and worse with any other liquid. seeing as how it rains/snows in almost all the us and canada, its gonna be a pain to keep it clean. i bought this nylon stuff that had the same feel and looked the same. soo big caution, cause to clean it you would have to dryclean it which means taking it all out and re-doing it. lemme know if i am very wrong, but my parents told me(we own a drycleaners)

intel61...........what's did you use exactly.........the name of the fabric plz

well i didnt "use" it yet, i just bought it. i'll get the name up later, i think its plain nylon, but will update you

what he is talking about is sometimes mentioned as being synthetic cloth. it is a 70% nylon and 30 cotton mix. it looks similar to Satin but its not the same. i just recomended Satin, cuz the finished product looks much more luxorious. and also, it wont attract dust of lint cuz of its slippery texture

alright, got my drivers side door done, it looks good. it took me 15 min only to do that one door. but u just gotta make sure u get it nice and tight so it looks good. i'll have some pics up after i do the whole car

sweet, cant wait to see pix

alright got two doors done, the passenger front door was a b*tch, it took forever to get the cloth in the middle top part, and it still didnt go in all the way, thus the imperfection. it looks purple, but the cloth is dark navy. until i find a color to match my interior paints, i'll leave this on. as usual, it looks better in person, so for those who think it looks fruity, too bad.

Drivers side


Passenger side

hey guys finally got it in (fabric matches the car... not an easy feat). and also ran outta fabric so i used the biggest scrap ithat was left over so i improvised

Nice work u guys 8)
