badg1rl...i really like your car very nice!!!!...it gives us some idea of what to do with our cars..BTw how do you do your trunk..audio...?

 

thanks fellas...ok to answer some questions

audio wise we went with audiobahn subs and amps and they are mounted on the rear lid ..ill have pics soon. we had the recaros reupholstered...let me tell you...if you dont have 2 grand to spend..then dont even think about having them redone. my entire interior is painted and/ or suede.
i dont have back seats pics yet...kennys had everything apart wiring things , my audio equipment and also my screens and cameras....cars still being worked on vigorously to get it done for a show in sept. when the seats fold you can see the nice chrome air tank for the air ride. ... of course i have some other things in my trunk...very large flat screen lcd and my amps are mounted back there in a fiberglass housing.
i havent really given her any road time this year being that my cars been used to fab out a lot of parts so we could produce them (ie. downpipes, dual exhaust and regular exhausts, etc) a lot needs tweeking, the car probably wont be running to its complete 100% potential until we work out some issues.....

 

you might want kenny to build you a BIg Trophy case, cuz i know that is gonna win at most car shows

 

ya you have a very nice car very clean not ricey or nothing, i give kenny and yourself so much probs for DOING IT RIGHT, ill be right behind you girl, jsut need money hahahah lmao

 

yeah im hoping...would be nice. we will see how good ole bad girl does at Funk Flex hopefully. you should see how many trophies we have already, i would love to actually turn the upstairs of the garage in to a game room/ trophy room. kenny has a lot from the probe. I have only 2 from when i first started showing my cavi.

 

good stuff and good luck i hope cobalt can become huge in the tuner scene

 

when its done, we need like 2 gigs of pictures of your car.

 

I have to say that is the best interior mod ive seen yet The sweude is so much better loking than leather, Ive been following your posts on this, one day Iwould like to do this as well, congrats its hot

 

I want more pics

 

The Suede looks good guys .
MrGriffithDW- The Dark Blue looks sweet

Hey Donna ....do u or Kenny know where I can buy Alcantara suede in bulk . The Alcantara inserts in both the CTS-v and the STS-V are perfect matches for the GM Ebony interior color . Ive done some searches online and am either not looking in the right spot or I dunno what else I talked with a couple local trim shops and since Im doing the work myself , the understandably ( I suppose ) werent to fourthcoming on where to get what I want .

I have a nuther question too .....for anyone . How wearable is suede . I drive about 500 miles a week and with the windows down and roof open so much its hard to keep dust and stuff off the dash . If I have to clean it regularly will it still keep looking new . And what do clean suede with . Ive wanted to cover the top of my dash above the silver trim and the top of the door panel trim for awhile , but the fact I drive my car so much & cleaning issue has left me wondering if I should do it or not .

 

im looking to use carbon fiber fabric for my inserts and doors.... has anyone worked with this meterial before? its not cheap so i want to do it right

 

ummm carbon fiber???? how could that fabric be tough???? suede is really light and easy to shoot glue through, i couldnt see something tougher be harder????

2 gigs of pics is a lot dam hahahah oh btw one more door has been done now i got to redo one haha

 

resurecting this bish, the image shack links are down, and I want to see what it looks like, I want to do some suede work in my car...

 

Bio- any luck with the CF ?
you can buy large rolls but they are a bitch to do. Check out this link

go down a few pics. this is a friends altima kenny did. he wrapped the door panel pieces in silver CF and also the playstation housing and then glassed over it. it has to be glassed over and sanded and then reclear coated to get the shiny look like a cf hood would look like. they also sell cheap looking cf strips that have adhesive on one side...it looks cheap though. the panels i remember took a long time to complete. drying conditions need to be purfect otherwise it takes forever.

 

Hahaha hey MrGriffithDW, not to burst your bubble but your not really the first guy in Canada to do this.

I did the door inserts with black suede a while ago along with painting the top part of the door panels (didn't feel like putting suede there). I will get some pics up later tonite for you guys. And ya its totaly worth it, it is sooo good looking and its nice and smooth!!

 

old picts wont work? would like to see it

 

I would love to see the pics, please get them up! Also, for those that did do the top edge in suede, how do you think it would last in a daily driver? I know there is no way to really hold it down at the seam other than the glue, and i m jsut worried about it curling up eventually.

 

havent done it yet donnna, its a fabric though but its a cf weave kinda

 

Ok so here are a few pics of my suede door inserts.

I've had them in for a few weeks and no problems at all, although there is a small wrinkle in the passenger side, and no real waer and tear so far even tho its daily driven.

 

Those look sweet, whaat about the tops ofthe door panels, are those painted, or did you cover those too?
