i only sprayed it, the purple mid section of front doors was fabric purple vinyl

which i popped out the mid section
then adhesive glue on the plastic and the back of the fabric.
then just shaped constantly until it was correct.

After its set i used scissors to tidy up the fabric
then with a hot glue gun glued the plastic back
to the original tabs

yeah i dont worry considering this car was built six years ago

and has 15 + awards for best : paint, interior etc etc. It was good taste back then.
it's mostly an example of abilities to do things with the creative side, all done by him self in his own shed as i am doing with my civic

Cannot please everyone haha.

Couple days ago we lowered my civic
With new shocks
and adjustable springs... I was pulled over by police for a liesence,rego check and had the
transport check over its lowness and they said good job and to make sure it doesn't scrub lol.

This is the first adjustment due to Tasmania doesn't have the best roads lol

you could always try a melbourne company..
There is a lot of cool matte colours but everyone is still going the matte black! Considering this is a yellow Camaro, the matte black makes it go much tougher and he can just peel it off when he is over the colour.

These are some shots of Steve Nogas' matte black wrapped Camaro known as KILLA-B. It was unveiled in July at MotorEx and has been built purely as a burnout car! You can see the feature story on it by FreeStyle Rides
