Glad you like it man.. it is black felt/velvet ( dont really know exacally )
I took the rear seats out completly and drew out a box design on paper and made it out of Thick cardboard.. and I just layed the fabric over the cardboard box.. stretched it and glued it down.. then glued on the amp and the subs and the TV. if I did it correctly the inverted subs should be sitting at 45degrees LOL

yo you should do the whole interior like that felt stuff but in a different color ... you seem to kno what you are doing with it that maybe some neon the same color as the interior that would be hot!

Its practicly spring outside. 40 degrees with msot snow melted
scarface199
02-23-2006, 02:34 PM
Yeah.. but in order to do "flawless" paint jobs it has to be like 60-70 degrees outside.. its perfect for taking pictures outside.. I have the felt on the floor of the car by the front seats.. I might find some more black to put on the seats who knows.. something like that..
Thanks for the comments!

yeah thats a good idea !! :) not too OTT jus nice and subtle and very cleanly done would suite your car G35 and its not too hard ...........

its really easy.. once you have the box made out of cardboard.. just use 2 sided tape.. tape up the whole area that you want the fabric.. stick it to the center of it first and stretch the fabric as you work your way out to make the creases go away.. this will work for pretty much any shape..

02-26-2006, 08:01 AM
thank you very very much for the positive comments.. When I first saw this color I thaught really hard on it.. I sat at the store with the can in my hand for about 10-15 minutes.. Then I decided that I would give it a try.. I am glad it turned out this well.. glad you guys like the color too. probably do some interrior accents.. Like the top of the dash, center of the seats, parts of the amps and subs mabye.. and put a break dust plate behind the rims to match the body.. Hopefully some pictures later
Thanks for the look :D

02-26-2006, 04:30 PM
wait u want to paint some interior stuff the exterior color? maybe you should just stick w/ doing the brake calipers.
G35XAndTrailBlazer
02-26-2006, 05:14 PM
I think the brakes would look nice.
YOu paint the seats if you think it will look good.

02-26-2006, 05:21 PM
Im not going to have break calipers.. I am going to put a break dust plate behind the rims the same color as the car.. or mabye even flat black.. most definitly going to paint the top of the dash the brown.. mabye put some different seats.. the ones in there dont look to match the rest of the interior that well.. thats why I was thinking the brown accents.. ( it has the rear setup and the fabric.. and these plain seats) Updates to come tomorrow morning probably.. Peace out all
nosliw2004
02-26-2006, 07:12 PM

Looks awsome man.. totally differnt way.. looks awsome tho..
I had breaks behind the rims.. but I put White break dust plate behind the rims.. it really sets it off..
I could always make it glow.. there is alot of space for them..
pics to come soon!

nosliw2004
02-28-2006, 06:39 PM
why did u put the plate there? can't see the brakes. did you do it like some of the new rims out there? i think you should paint it body color as i mentioned in the post your close ups thread.

Neons LOL just make a hot V8 ricy
scarface199
03-01-2006, 02:45 PM
but it would fit the "Donk" style.. I was thinking just under the seats and the system in the back.. nothing huge.. mabye.. just mabye underglow.. dont really know.. my birthday is on sunday.. so we will see what I get
G35XAndTrailBlazer
03-01-2006, 06:27 PM
lol well i guess its your project and it will all turn out good
nosliw2004
03-01-2006, 06:48 PM
now that i look at it those wheels look strange on the car (size wise). i think you should do one of my two options: (just an opinion)
make it a highrider so it's super tall or
make is slammed. likke cut into the wheel wells so the rims can really fit under there.
because now it seems like it has too much ground clearence. if you make it a highrider it will just be wild and if you slam it it would look nice and clean.

I dont think those wheels would fit up into the body
scarface199
03-02-2006, 01:28 PM
they definitly wont fit up into the body.. only like a 1/4 of it will.. I already tried.. already tried the "Highrider" look also and that wasnt doin it for the GTO.. this stance is what I would think it would look like if it had airbags and was a highrider but let all the air out so the tires are just resting on the inside of the wheel wells
G35XAndTrailBlazer
03-02-2006, 02:21 PM
Yea, see thats what i figured.
Quick Nick
03-02-2006, 02:34 PM
yO i myself like the white behind the rims ... this project is looking more like a dunk or donk each time i look ... i would have went with candy apple red but thats just me ... also happy b day to you!!
