Looks good Nuke! I like the black charge piping!

I see a lot more people now are pulling the firewall material. It's amazing how much better it looks when you do it. Even on a Ti Grey, I thought it wouldn't matter that much since the material is pretty much the same color as my paint, but WOW is cleans it up a lot.

I was tempted to do that as well, but just not sure if the heat would affect inside the cabin...

the sides are easy. the back one is a bitch. you will have to cut it up in pieces to take it out.

...or you could just remove your engine to make it easier. :lol:

But if you did, you did,,, personally if I used it I would tell people that I am using it for its functionality not for aesthetics,,, the best aesthetics on any car are those that are purpose driven anyway, once you start leaving that arena thats where terms like "rice" start sneaking thier way into peoples vocabulary...

Fully aware and all of mine do serve a purpose. However I like aesthetics very much. That's why I enter my car in shows and win every time. ;) People love the gold film and flock to it. Most of all I like it.

Ah hahaha :lol2:

I need some longer scissors maybe.

altspace 10-04-2009 05:49 PM

I used my exact-o knife and brute strength to get the firewall piece out.

Rote8 10-04-2009 06:00 PM

My under hood, yes, it needs a bath.

:puke:

chickenwafer 10-04-2009 07:03 PM

Yeah the rear part of the material is a BITCH!! Plus, be careful as some of the edges and areas that secure the mat down have some VERY sharp pieces, I sliced my thumb pretty good in a rage of ripping stuff out.

It helps to pull the UIM to get better access but be positive to block up the intake ports in the LIM, you don't want any of that material or dust getting in your engine.

imput1234 10-04-2009 07:11 PM

I did mine a while back, the back is a bitch took me like 30 min to do it. just started to rip it off lol
