my dreaded interior :(

okay boys, here comes time to change my interior again :( I'm painting my doors and repainting the top plastic part by the windshield, and the panels lining your doors. On top of that I'm taking my LEDs that I have and moving them to the trunk, not permantly where they're going to be, just in there. I can't put them in place yet b/c I do not have my 12's nor do i have the enclosure for the 4 subs...so I'm just going to place them in there...ever so gently, lol. THEN, I finish what I started tonight. Replacing my door speakers, and I threw in a little surprise for everybody. I can't show you until tomorrow night when it's finished, but let's just say "I was bored, and thought of a challenge, hehe"....Hope it works, haha. and if my gauges come tomorrow I'll throw those in there and snip my DRL wire. THEN i'll take my cd player out...hopefully find out why my AUX isn't working (iPod). and HOPEFULLY get it to fit in there like they used to. phew. oh yeah, I got a free pioneer 6 1/2" speaker too... I'll tell you that tomorrow too, when I explain my idea. Goodnight :)

ok...

All talk and no show.. get crackin buddy. ;)

Sounds like you have got a full plate in front of you.

i dont have much XP. painting tho :frown:You really dont need that much experience. as long as you know how to use sandpaper and spray paint, then you should have no problem. the first time I ever painted an interior was on my car and I think it turned out really nice.

tisk tiskhey welcome back steve!!!! :lol:

alright..things didn't really go as planned..do they ever? I never got my doors painted...actually i didn't get anythign painted. However a friend of mine did help me wrap my headliner and rear deck. They are now white! :) and a little addition where my dome light used to be. Put my new gauges in, and sorta fixed my stereo kinda. oh and btw my rims I bought off my friend DON"T FIT!!! yeah, so looks like I get my money back...I double it and buy brand new ones, lol. anyway I'll take a picture tonight when I get home from work, but for now I am late!!! see-ya

so how come you didnt get anything painted?? are you still planning on doing the painting?? and I wanna see some pics damn it lol

don't feel bad, i spent around 50 or so hours painting my center consol making it the different colors and making it all shinny and then dropped it and had to sand one part smooth (luckly the seat will cover it. and then there is a piece that goes in were teh auto shifter is and the center consol well when i put it back on i chipped paint around it so i have to do some touch-ups. might just say fuck it and toss it

really sucks, the more you work on it the more that messes up

plan on repainting everything sometime soon, just take a whole day and do nothing but paint, dash cover, dash, top dash part, bottom dash part, center console, a-pillars. Then paint the doors and the back parts. then after all that is said and done I will finish it with a glossy spray, in hopes on not chipping anything when I go to put it back in, which ranks very high with me as well as cavy2000

^by glossy spray do you mean clear coat??? lol

^by glossy spray do you mean clear coat??? lol

YES!!! that's SO the word I had in my head when I started writing that paragraph, lol.

^haha thought so just checking lol

ohh..they all have to be a certain pixels..yeah i don't have time for that, lol. 6 pics comming tonight, when I have time to resize them..back off to work.

yea when i do my touch ups, i am going to put wax down before i try and get that peice back on there, then i can see how that will work

Just wanted to show off the white rear deck....and look at my tint :)

your pics are not showing up

you fucked it up pics aren't there

ok new deal, go here, lol. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2362121/2
bottom of the page.

then speakers look small and i see the headliner and back dash, but thats up with the light by your windshield?

so that speaker is on the cieling where the dome light use to be?? thats.....ummm....different :lol:

a bit different, you you have a center output on the radio

also I dont now about those L.E.D's in the car. I would have went with neons and probably red ones not blue. but thats just my opinon. and did you use to have zebra print on the inside of your car?? :lol:

you should of done more leds and you would of been good

yeah...here;s the plan. All the blue is headed for the truck. Once i get my custom enclosure, it will cut my trunk space in about half, and then with the white carpet in the back, like in the front, the 4 leds I have will light up nicely with my new BRIGHT amp, yeah I am like renovating everything right now, so everything is all clustered up. I need to learn to finish things that I start...anyway, yeah going with red neons in the interior, and the 4 blue leds are all in the trunk..... No there's no center channel, pulling from the left and right channels in the front channel...that way it's sort of like a center channel all in its own...your next question, no it doesn't seem to take away from any of the power of the front. next question, I put it there b/c with 4 subs pushing 1600watts of bass, i'm going to need a way to hear my highs, what better then right by my head...actually i just got bored and wanted to try somethign diff...next question, that light is there until I paint my visors and put them back in, then it is going to come through the headliner in between the visors, just the light not that harness thing. Did I miss anything? oh Zebra...yeah, my boss gave that to me, lol. I told him i would put it there until I got my windows tinted...(like 2 days later) lol.

white carpet huh??? your pretty fuckin brave man lol I would be too worried of it getting so dirty. Oh and you should have gone with the zebra print all around :rofl: j/k

i can get you the custom box lol

yeah, just picture it in your trunk, then measure it from that, lol.

i have the measurements of my truck lol but just tell me what you are actually looking for and i'll see what i can do

gimme like 10 minutes, lol...

How many pixels do the pics have to be?

huh

huhlol thats what im thinking. all he has to do is tell you what kind of box he is thinking about doing. so where pixels come into play beats the hell out of me.

you and me both

to display a picture...is it 100x100 like in signatures?

to display a picture...is it 100x100 like in signatures?oh yeah for sigs its 100x100

did that one work this time? lol

yea looks like another cluster fuck lol

yeah, I realized I'm just going to have to get 2 single 10" boxes, and put them in the corners like I want, then I'm going to get like partical board or something, and like form it over top, like the shape I wanted, and then put the white carpet over it..shhh nobody will know.

no partical board please no, are you the guy who e-mail idk? he was tellin me about someone who wanted to single boxes for a cavalier

I dunno, I don't think so. my user name is the same for everything. So what do you suggest? What I wanna do will cover up like half my trunk...can you make a custom shaped box that big... lol it would cost like 1000000 dollars to ship.

Fiberglass your own, there's a good write up on how to fiberglass speakers into your door panels on jbo, of course making a specific speaker box for a trunk would be alot more complicated but it can't be that much harder, you'd be using the same materials and same techniques.

yea fiberglass works good but shipping is not that bad (i work for a mail rooma nd get a discount) e-mail him and we can get measurments off my truck and work from there, your choice really, if you want to do just a fiberglass look then you can get a box and the glass over it, looks pretty good

Fiberglass your own:iagree: if your wanting a box that wraps around your trunk like in that illustration you provided, then fiberglass would be your best bet. here is a write up on fiberglass http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=416484 it tells and shows how to make a custom amp rack in the trunk (doesnt show boxes) but gives you the idea of whats involved with it.

it's a pain in the ass lol

it is a pain in the ass but with everything else, the finished product is always worth it.

true

way too much work for me, lol... where's my friends when I need them???

relined/painted my visors, and in the process of painting my doors...they're all white right now..I have to find a way to tape it off without pulling the paint off...

relined/painted my visors, and in the process of painting my doors...they're all white right now..I have to find a way to tape it off without pulling the paint off...as long as you primed before you painted and the paint is sticking to it, then you should be able to tape it with no problem.

lol yea and get some tape that is less sticky, can't remember the name of it

get the blue painters tape, less sticky residue

get the blue painters tape, less sticky residueI agree I use the same stuff whenever I'm doing any kind of painting. The only problem I have had is if you dont push it down good enough then the paint will run under the tape a little bit so make sure that you seal it down good or whatever you want to call it.

yeah that sucks doesn't it, lol. The only problem I'm having..I actually think I figured it out... I'm taping the top part of the door (vinyl) and painting the bottom part (plastic) I havn't actually done it yet, I just tested a small un-noticable area to see if it would peel it off and just like latex, it comes peeling off :( this is sort of what I'm going for...from the self proclaimed king of photoshop..yeah right, lol. http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a386/Derk_eliso/suckyphotoshopy.jpg
see the white top with red bottom, then just accenting pieces. Colored red fabric there, and white fabric in the bottom junk collectors. Then my now window crank was photoshopped out and replaced with a white circle b/c I'm installing power windows like next week, and I'll have a cover for the hole which used to hold my window crank. aka the white circle thing...enjoy, lol.

Well you sure are going to have one helluva interior once its all said and done.

Little too busy for me... but to each their own.

you need to use something besides spray paint and then it won't peel off

You could always go with that dye thing :lol: jk
