My weekend DIY projects....resized pics!
Finally got around to finishing these projects. I'm really happy with how they turned out. Take a look and tell me what you think. :D
My painted headlights got some Prelude city light sockets...
My doorpanel inserts and armrest go re-covered in a black fabric from the craft store:
And yes...I know I need to remove the nasty paint on the door handle surrounds
As a frame of reference..this is my car:

I used 3M 55 Spray adhesive. Works great! Just spray it on lay the fabric over and start pulling and smoothing. It helps when you use fabric with a little stretchiness to it.

Re: (Ricey McRicerton)
Thanks for the positive comments everybody. Yes, I had to drill a hole in each light forthem to fit. There is an indentation already there that shows you wher and how big to drill, but then you also have to drill through the reflector, just big enough for a 194 bulb to peek through. I ended up doing mine a little too large.
Yes, I did paint the door handle surrounds...a long time ago, and now they're chipped to hell. I need to strip them and re-paint.
