04 that interior looks sweet, im gonna have to try this.

 

Looks great man. Reminds me of the STi

 

wow suede is nice. I'd love to see a sand / alabaster suede or Maroon

 

how'd those vertical doors come out?

the blue definately looks great. it really makes the interior stand out. good luck with the headliner

 

they came out alright. he switched back to the stock door hinges tho. thanks for the compliment. the headliner should be a fun project

 

How did you dismantled that part?

 

Looks like an alum wrench.

Ironic as I am removing that piece in the next few days to paint. I am hoping it is as easy as the right wrench.

Take care,

Brian

 

paint. they are clip on the allen wrench hole is for looks

 

Yeah, you have to remove them from the back side. There are four clips, two being on the bottom side. You have to push in then down. Winter sucks because it made the part more brittle I think. Broke one clip removing but they still seem to lock nicely.

Take care,

Brian

 

and i will second that using 3m glue pulls in humidity. the guy that did my interior told me he gets people in there all the time with falling headliners and other peices caused by glue pulling. he uses some kind of industerial bonding glue and when we were doing my door panels and it stuck so well when i went to fix it i almost had to put my foot on it and pull. but looks good i switched all mine to yellow including inserts and did a black headliner with a yellow stripe down the center. it brightens up a lot.

Where do you guys get material from?
I can't find anything with similar texture.
I checked couple stores but nothing even close + nobody seem to have anything yellow

 

the guy gets it from a local textile place near toledo it was like 20 bucks a yard and i added pic of my yellow interior in another thread not the best but the car is inside the garage for the winter so i made do for now

no online store?

 

nope i dont know the name its just a small warehouse locally that has been there for years they dont even have a sign up so you gotta know its there ill try and figure out the name do you have any craft stores close like a fabric one id calland try there

 

Maybe I missed this, but how exactly did you go about wrapping the panels? Were the wrapped pieces removed from the doors somehow or did you just use something to press the suede into the crevices? I've been thinking of wrapping mine and embossing something into the doors, but just didn't know how to go about it on these doors. I'll probably wait to pull the door panels when I do my stereo install to prevent extra rattles, but I'd like to know the best way to go about it before I start buying things and pulling parts.

 

embossing stuff into panels with suede is hard because of the backing material unleess you can find foam backing because suede does not want to strech i already tried it in door panels and there was too much going on with the fitting

 

any tips on removing the rear door panels and back seat panels? been looking at it for days and dont wanna break any clips. help please?

 

Awesome look, Is there a DIY in the future for this?

 

my body just swith to a shinka interior (baezrx8) u may wanna contact him
