Is that what you mean?

[Fung]

YES YES YES~~~

and Tim.....*sigh* i hate you

[curtis265]

You could get a CF overlay and stick it on. I like the idea of a "theme" like the bride fabric.

thinkin of doin it but not sure what material / colour would look good to match the ugly grey of the car's plastic :\
leather? suede???

[Fung]

black and red, blue and black, orange and black, lime green and black.

these colours go well together. but black and red are more original to the FD2R.

[.k.]

same with me ryan.. im gonna try grey + a blue pattern first (wont glue it down) and see how it looks. bloody grey? why the fk.. so hard to find something to match lol, exams over next week i'll do it after then. had the material in my room for months now lol

[curtis265]

Gimmie an interior picture and i'll photoshop it to blue for you.. best thing would be a fishbowl kinda effect.

[fitme]

how about DIY leather wrap for the steering wheel?

[curtis265]

lookin like this? maybe start a new thread for it instead of threadjack :S

very simple task, just stitch it on... Blue stitching would go nicely, i imagine.

[Fung]

we could just make this a thread just on trimming the civic =]

[curtis265]

nobody got interior shots? I might got take one later to see what it's like.

[ej20i]

someone dropped their garage door opener......

[ryanc]

any easy way to make the interior dash become darker? some kind of paint or spray???

i reckon it'd be easier to match if we could make the interior closer to dark grey

[.k.]

i dunno.. mayb some sort of vinyl or something? nah that wouldnt work too exxy and time consuming.. easiest prob paint it but dunno how it will turn out. i want it to look like a stock black plastic so u cant tell its been painted

[Fung]

is tim taking a luvo ~~~ i see the typical [^,^]V asian style luvo there

[ej20i]

FUNG!!!!

[ryanc]

that's hot
if only the rest of the grey bits of the oem interior were a bit darker with some kinda gloss or something and it'll better match the CF

[GIPONU]

that dash trim is actually custom, now painted in a metallic blue. it was made to fit the double din alpine head deck

[Fung]

its all down to cost at the end of the day =[

no money no talk ><"
