wow, nice and tasteful, i like

Hey man, props on the tight interior, btw, was it hard to remove your dsah and all that business? I'm in the middle of painting all my interior but I don't know if I should just keep my dash inside and paint it inside or if I should mess with it and try to remove it. Let me know if it is worth it if all I'm going to do is paint. Thanks man, again, tight interior, way to represent.

very nicely done!

it is worth it to take it out. overspray is annoying. by the way, the only thing painted is the vents and around the radio and AC, everything else is wrapped! damn that stuff was a pain, now onward to the doors!

sick interior dude, i love it, see an imperfection with the vinyl tho, i know how hard it is 2 use that shit, leather is MUCH easier 2 deal with :wink: hehe, but good job man, i worked at an interior shop, u saved urself like 400 bux or more in labour right there, :bigthumb: cant wait 2 see it finished, btw... what steering wheel is that?? i want one hehe

is that... velvet? the red stuff?

Very nice job:bigthumb:

oh yeah mad props for the fridge adapted to hold a beer keg in the background. that's just pimp... not to mention the keg in the pic haha

how did you get the type r steering wheel to fit?

only one? theres a lot more than that! you are right, that stuff is tough, i wasnt originally gonna put red suede in the pocket by the ebrake handle, but i blew through the vinyl with the heat gun trying to stretch it a little too much, so i hadda make that pimp lil red area to cover it up

thats my stepdads. i dont drink. but i did help him make that. the keg in the pic is the old empty one, the good one is in the fridge staying cold. and the freezer is full of frosty mugs! notice the bottle behind the empty keg, my stepdad loves his michelob draft.

unscrewed the stock one, screwed on the new one. it fits, contrary to what all the internet geniuses say

thanks bro:)

that keg-holding fridge brings a tear to my eye... all it needs is a honda badge.

a side note, the entire center console was wrapped using one piece of black vinyl. which means, no more funky seam between the original civic piece and the GSR piece. that wrinkle between the two GSR pieces is cause its sitting on the ground, it tightens out when its in the car.

figured i would bump this, cause it deserves it.

thats a baddass interior. When i start my job i was sposed to start 2 weeks ago in construction, im gettin the exterior done for this summer. And right after that. Im going all out on my interior like yer dash. No vinyl. All velour.. that suede or however its spelled.. Is that kinda just like velvet but more durable for your car interior ? like does it feel just as smooth and all that ?? Cuz im doing a show car type int. And i want it all ( besides carpet and floor mats of course ) somin similar to that silk feeling. Doing mine in red black and white. Your car is gonna look dope tho for real. Good job. And tell yer GF nice job w/ the shift boot. And nice job 2 u 2 yo - ! :thumbsup:

wow dude good job your a crafty one eh lol

its called ultra suede. its all over ebay, and i got it there for 75 bucks. i got like 40 yards. if you go to a cloth store its like 75 bucks a yard!!

the stuff is not extremely thick, but it is tuff. i had trouble cutting it sometimes, like in tight squeezes. its soft too, and depending on which way you brush your hand across it, it can look matte or gloss.

looks swell! isn't that an ITR steering wheel? I wish any of my g/fs would sew stuff for me i'm allways the better sewer (hey it's a life skill don't hate:loser:) I'm starting to think about doing mine now after seeing that gotta get camber kit first though.

I too have colour coded my interior like you, but not to the extent you have, I've just done the painted bits, yours looks awesome!! Well done!

its not simple color coding, theres not a single piece of interior that is still the original material, except for the A/C vents and around the radio, since i just painted those pieces red. wherever the plastic was smooth, i painted it, wherever it had that nasty textured look, i wrapped it in vinyl or suede. thanks for the praise though.


yes thats an ITR steering wheel, JDM even, MOMO even, hows that for hip?

:boink: i like it!!!!!!!:bigthumb:

Uhm, sorry dude, didnt mean anything by it, but my friend's re-trimmed her whole interior, like everything, she even calls that colour coding.

how did you get the integra center console to fit so nicely in the back with your original bezel?

i trimmed the back of the integra console to match up, then wrapped the entire assembly in one piece of black vinyl. both integra pieces and the original civic piece are now one large piece.

:thumbsdow

hey Siz.. u gotta be the biggest asshole on these forums.. seriously man i have yet to see a positive post from you.. sorry guys i just had to vent after seeing yet another one of his arrogant posts

oh im sorry Mr. Siz, if you dont like the styling of my setup, then say so. if you dont like the quality then say so, but dont just come around with one icon posts.

you are right man, he does act like an asshole sometimes. my stuff isnt even ricey or overdone, but since its not the typical "JDM" style of Siz's liking, hes gonna thumbsdown it.

:thumbsdow

:werd:

Sorry Incucivic, but I'm just not feeling that interior. I know that it must have taken a ton of time and I really respect all your hard work, but it just doesnt please my eye, not that it matters, as long as you like it. I really like the teg console though. Im just more of a fan of stock plastic, with very few, if any, color changes.

Well man, I think its tight ass, way too much work for me tho, no way could I ever do that. My ride is my daily driver, so my projects have to be done in a timely manner, oh well, someday ill be able to do extreme stuff like that, but at any rate, props on the mad tight interior.

:werd:

i appreciate your response more than siz's, mostly because you gave reasons for you opinion. opinions are welcome, as long as they give some insight. i dont appreciate opinions where someone says "ghey" or "thats stupid" but fail to give reasons why. im glad you respect the time put into it, and the more i look at it i do think about painting black the red A/C vents (that was parts carried over from my last hatch). as far as stock plastic, i didnt mind the color of it so much, but the texture was killing me, it looked and felt too cheap. and thats precisely why i covered the entire thing in smooth black vinyl.

:crying:

You guys can sometimes be such crybabys if everyone doesn't like your shit. WHAAA. Thats the way it is, especially building a car thats' mostly for looks, you're gonna get a lot of people hating on it. Why? Because it looks cheap. Why did I give the thumbsdown and not post what I actually feel about it? To spare feelings, but then you and some other guy go whining about what I did. Why care what I think?

Okay, the spraypainted plastic looks like shit. Always has, always will. It looks cheap, it doesn't even colour match whatever that nasty looking material you have all over the console. All that vinyl and all that suede or whatever it is, also looks cheap, you can see all the folds in it and shit.. Hmmm, did you try and save money (unlike people who do it right and pay someone who's a professional at it) and do it yourself? All that red in your car its gonna look like you work for McDonalds or something. Sorry, but I think your interior is pug fugly.
There's my opinion. Next time I'll just post a thumbsdown and you get get over it fast.

I think your steering wheel is pretty nice if that makes any difference.

pretty tight

wow dude that dash look really familiar, i wonder where ive seen it before :naughty:

like i said before, i appreciate your opinion more now that youve given reasons that you dislike it. and like i said, ive been thinking about painting the red pieces black, but i have no plans on changing the red suede. and i dunno if youve ever noticed, but even professional jobs have folds in them. you can only stretch it so much. yeah i wanted to save money and do it myself, much in the same way you wanted to paint the roof of your car black (which i gave you props for even when other people dissed you). also in the same way you did an engine swap and whatnot, because i am also doing the same thing. i will take more pride in doing the car 100% myself and having nothing perfect on it than to pay professionals to do it all and winning a car show or a race simply because i spent money. sure its got flaws, but maybe next time i do interior work it will come out better. remember that even professionals start somewhere, usually on their own car.


again, i appreciate you voicing your opinion, because thats the reason i posted the pictures afterall. just saying you dont have to be a total nutsack when you post your opinion. and for the one person who dislikes it(which i dont mind) theres at least 30 people on here who love it.

well i guess it's not rice enough for some, i like it but as you know dude i'm broke as shit now and don't even have a decent car to tune, however, just scored a nice job 40hrs a week @ $7.50 hr. and they planning on givving me a raise in a little while too :smokin: i get paid friday and i'm going to be heading to neworleans anyway this weekend. lemme know what's up.

rice is nice but strictly rice is a bad for you.

Someone said that leather is easier to work with PLUS leather will look HELLA nice...where could I get some black leather that will be easy to apply to a dash? any ideas?

:feedback:

probably a fruniture upholstry or car upholstry shop.....sure they'll sell u some

I like it, I probably would have done the gray bar across the dash in suede, but your's might look better, I can't picture it in red.

Let's see some installed pics :)

i would be happy to show installed pics, but i just recently got my own house, and between the renovations and moving, i havent worked on any car stuff in 3 months. hopefully shortly after christmas i can install it.

BTW, im posting this in dallas/fortwoth int. airport, on my way home from the dallas nissan training center. learning stuff about nissan, and im a honda nut, weird, but it pays the billys

yo thats a very very nice interior u got that...i wanna take my dash out always and paint it black??....is it a very hard job too??? how long did it take u ?? AND da most important question....where do u start and how do u take out...PLZ give me some advice and show me da ropes

Holy Oh My Last Year Newbieees

wow..can't believe itz been that long

and to further prove that my car is never going to be finished, that interior is still sitting in a pile in my garage. but at least theres more bodywork completed, and paint may actually touch the car sometime in my life.

u know what...just give the car to me...i'll finish it

prolly wont, i think its got a curse on it.

finish finish! no use puttin in all that work to let it sit there

Roadtrip time!!!
i say we all drive down there and finish this damn thing for him! hehehe

sounds like a plan to me...so who's coming by NC to pick me up :lol:

we'd all have to show up with name tags...would be a funny sight
