DIY:Improve look of your interior for $1

[kelviN]

I was shopping around and came across a cheap idea to improve the look of the interior of my civic. It can look cheap n dodgy to some ppl but i personally like it as it adds colour.

Start with a kitchen non slip mat which i bought from best & less for $1. I only found a yellow one when i took the pictures.

Decide what parts of the car you want to cover and cut out a shape similar(bit larger so that you can trim it down to size for a perfect fit). Trim it down lil bit at a time and check the fitment after each trim down. Use double sided tape to hold it in place. that's all !

Here's a couple of before and after shots.

hehe a bit ! such as coins and my phone. I like it how on a sunny day it makes its surroundings glow a bit red

[stoodamire]

[EuroDude]

Imagine what u could do with $2 :eek:

looks good. I would have used a solid rubbery material though. Dirt is gonna get into the holes of that material.

[mrwillz]

cant go wrong wif that dollar spent

true true, dirt n crap gets in a lot only for the sides but which is why i didnt bother sticking it down. Once in a while i just lift it n wipe underneath hehe

[JasonGilholme]

I'd probably agree with Mr Willz. thin rubbery material would be good to stop stuff sliding around.

Good work tho man. Looks tops.

[Sensei]

lol that is mad.
Home & Lifestyle magazines ftw!

Call it "JDM trim" and hordes of people will buy it at x10 the price.:p

[muhhan]

If you're after solid rubbery material and wanting to go 'upmarket' try some stuff called Dycem.

[Ashwee]

I like it! *plots doing it in my car*

[Yasakani]

haha, the previous owner of my car already did this for me :cool:
I guess I save a whole BUCK!

[Muzz]

^^^lol.
I did this a while back with some heavy duty non slip boating carpet. Looks very nice and classy compared to the cheap spongy matting, ill have to get photos.

Really good idea OP, its such a cheap easy diy that makes a nice difference.

[blk_shadow]

looks nice...

great work, man..:)

quality diy, i did excactly the same but i cost me $8! clark rubber founds some matts that looked similar and cut em out 2 fit just like yours, had some industrial red double sidded sticky tape and pinned em down.
cheers

[aznalex]

bump... a good diy that deserves it

[androo]

DUDE I did the exact same thing!!! Best and Less as well! Except I used black. Man makes the useless 1 DIN slot an awesome wallet and phone holder. Keeps my handbrake area clear!

Funny thing is when I did my mum's Jazz (first gen, pre-facelift), I did the areas underneath the glove box/steering column. Then, when the facelift one came out Honda included free rubber inserts in the same place! Oh well good enough!

Good work!

[Bob-Car]

Does it make your car go faster...??

[aznalex]

no, but it makes it look nicer and a tiny bit more practical

[androo]

Made mine faster =] nah but makes it heaps more practical...

[BIGTYM]

I can't this stuff anywhere in red.. Where did you get it.... AHHHHHH..

Someone find it for me.

[wynode]

This DIY is a bit of a joke. Thread closed. Surprised it even made it this far.
