Reply With QuoteNice work, looks good. A Carbon Fiber gauge bezel would set it off nicely in my opinion ;)
Wow that was some fast work.
If they sold interiors like that here, I would freakin love my G.

To be frank with everyone here, I have NO experience with interior or reupholstering! This was my first experiement and it didnt go to bad luckily! its not flawless work but i like it and it looks good thank you guys for the feed back!!!
As long as you like it, that is all that matters. The pictures make it look awesome though.
edit: Did you buy the carpet or use a dye?
looks good im jus not 100% keen on where the rear speaker sits.. how you can kinda peek into the door a bit.. did you try covering it up with anything? maybe taking a piece of flexiable plastic and run it across the top of the hole towards the inside of the door panel so it covers up the space?

I went to Big lots lol and bought 3 rolls of 8$ black carpet rolls! it worked, not perfect but not bad for a budget mod lol!Originally Posted by 99 galant
Ya I agree, that was the hardest part about installing the rear speakers, but thats the only location on the door that it could be located. I want to try to run a thick rubber ring aroung them or maybe make something, thanks for the input! Any other ideas?
Damn, nice work. U can acetone and ABS plastic to form a mold around the speaker. It will hold better and take paint well since the the door panels are made of ABS too.
Where would I find ABS plastic? just curious thanks!
molding ABS plastic is pretty tricky tho.. i posted a suggestion in the thread i think it was the "rear speaker" one

looks real good bro
Did you take any pictures of your process of the carpet?
That black interior looks good! Now get some 3G black seats and you're good to go!
I ordered one 48X96 sheet from USplastics.com back when I was vacuum forming.
Personally, I think the grey look good with the whole black. It gives a nice touch to it. Maybe some ONLY grey leathers would look better.
id use some sort of screen over the rear speaker hole and hold it on the hole with a rubber trim ring. black interior looks good, but u may wish u didnt do the dash in gloss black once the sun starts shining on it and reflecting off the windshield. on a good not though, your car will look freshly armoralled at all times

I was about to say the same thing, I used Dulpi-Color Flat Black for mine. But I have wipe it down every week to keep the dust down.
thats what i used for my radio bezel. came out great i think for so cheap and minimum prep.
nice work! seeing all the blacked out interiors makes me think i'll have to do more that just blackout mine to stand out now but, your work looks great man! how hard was it to wire up that back speakers???
No Actually my camera broke halfway thru the interior process and I was left with my G1 to take crappy pics and well I stopped at the carpet.....I could say though if your leaving the mat padding down thats under the original carpet and taking out the old carpet, then just lay 2 rolls of the new carpet down and cut out/bolt in anything that needs to be like seat bolts, seatbelt wire, front foot rests, etc......then trim edges and set under floor board trims, the only bad part about buying the single "walmart" rolls is they end up about 2 ft short either in the rear or front depending where you put it, but I cut out the rear seat clips and slid the carpet in those then lined the rest from there~!? hope that helps I can take better pics this week..Ill have a better camera!
