My Car!

Let me know what you guys think! dont be to critical...

please tell me you've since cleaned up the dash.

NO!!! don't paint the interior!!

why...

:signLower

...I'm not trying to sound like a prick here...but you were all worried about weight and dumping as much weight as possible and you've got 3 subs in a sealed box in the back?

If you want color in the interior...you ought to upholster it instead of paint.

But so far, it's fine...you gotta start somewhere!

Hey I have a question,

I am kinda worried about the interior painting I did It looks awesome but it kinda scratches easy, Did I prep the parts right? What I did was use steel wool to smooth down existing scratches, then I rubbed a scotch Brite pad on the parts and washed the parts and wiped them dry and then waited about 10 minutes, then I painted them with 3-4 coats of Duplicolors fabric and vinyl Spaypaint, If I did it wrong is there a way to remove the paint and can you tell me how to do it the right way please? Thanks!!!

I waited about 30 minutes for each coat

whats that thing on the second pic?

looks good btw... the subs look mean as hell...

the big medal thing is part of the AC system...

anyone know how to make the paint fade resistant and scratch resistant? or does it not fade.... and can I get a reply for my last post please thanks, I gotta go to autozone soon and need to know if I need to get something for the paint...

fade resestant... keep her waxed up and it will slow fade... scrach resestant is imposable... unless you re paint every night...

dude, do you still have your passenger side airbag??? i know that in some states that if you take out the airbag you will receive a ticket if it's a street legal car.

should I clear coat the parts?

Will the paint bake on during the summer ( gets hot here)

Yah I still have the airbag in

agreed. lose the subs and that'll help lose a bunch of weight.

i love the wheels, man. you should red out the amber on your tails. and lower it!

about the paint chipping, a clear coat sounds like a good idea. try it out and let us know.

yup I had to remove the back seats to get to the wiring for the rear speakers. I will get some clear coat tomorrow and let yall know what happens! Thanks for the help guys, BTW where would I go for black molded carpet?

Exactly what i was thinkin!

I am getting rid of the subs and getting two 10 inch alpine type r's in a small box or one sub thats about 1000 watts. whichever one I can find

how can I get rid of the amber color on my tailights?

Testors candy apple red model paint... pull of the lights and tape off anything that you don't want painted... and paint away... put on about 5 coats letting set about 45 minutes between coats. I would also suggest a bunch of layers of the testors clear too

ok

what kinda clear coat for the vinyl paint should I get?

even that will be heavy. you want decent bass but less weight? get a basslink.

1000 watt sub?

...just out of curiosity, are you building up the rest of your system too? If you aren't doing proper cross-overs, seperates for all your speakers and the tuning...a 1000 watt sub is way over-powered. I had component Eclipses in my Grand Prix...with a 200 watt amp. 6x9's in the rear, 6x4's in the front...and a pair of Sony Xplod 10" subs with a Rockford 650 punch...my subs were stil capable of over-powering my speakers.

You don't need any ICE to beat your friend's civic.

not a bad start man

thanks! I cant figure out what color to make the headliner and carpet... Im replacing both.

black for the carpet and pink for the headliner... naw black and black

even with a black dashboard and doorpanels?

where to get carpet....
