What have you done to your stripped car to make it a little bit cleaner looking?

i was thing of making so plates out of sheet metal to cover the holes between the body and the support metal in the back that are behind the back side panels, and pop riviting those in and painting em'.

 

Are you referring to interior as well?

If so, I removed the sound deadning material by using dry ice and hammering away.

 

yes, but i was think of more one of a kind things, everyone removes the sound deadning

I'm sure its been done, but do it....it should look fresh imo....

 

well if I didn't lose one of my backseat brackets I would have that back in, but I just rattle canned the sides black and did spray in bedlinered the floor. With buying/remodeling a house right now it's the second best thing besides a truck/SUV

 

+1 for painting everything black.. In my old teg, i also removed EVERY little bracket, bolt, or anything else that wasnt needed. I filled a few small screw/bolt holes and painted everything black.... Even though my post is worthless because i have no pics...

 

i'll see if i can dig up a few pics here ...

but i ran all interior panels and front seats only. No carpet, no rear seats, nothing in the hatch area.

I chisled out the sound deadening, took off the grey plastic pump covers and sprayed the floor to match the rest of the car and the covers nighthawk black pearl. I also ran floormats.

I liked the way it looked, but after a while it grew uncomfortable so i put the carpet and rear seats back in...

Not sure if i have any pics with the recaros bolted in, but this is all i can find for now..

sweet

 

thanks guys

 

My solution:







I made a cardboard template to form the back seat piece and used the stock trunk cardboard as a template for the trunk sections. I used mdf hardboard, (you can use plywood or any other kind of wood) and simply covered it with speaker box fabric I got from a local car audio store. It's real easy and all you need is a jig saw, staple gun, scissors and some spray adhesive. Just measure, cut, testfit and repeat until satisfied.

And for those that will moan about weight savings...it can be removed in less than a minute and sits in the garage when I go to the track. Simply Put: It's an interior cosmetic piece that looks 100% better than the bare metal floor IMO. Not to mention...my rear seats had a rip in them when I bought the car seven years ago, the tops near the rear deck are horribly faded and the fabric pattern doesn't match the gsr front seats.

Well why not just take the seats out before you go to the track?

Oh geesh...have you ever removed the rear seats? It takes longer than a few minutes.

my rear seats can be removed in less than a minute, both top and bottom, and you can't tell any difference between the way they're supposed to be in there and the way i have them in.

Although the whopping ounce they save isn't even worth removing them.

I'd rather just take a healthy dump before i go to the track than remove my rear seats...

Any 'weight saving' i've done was simply for cosmetic purposes, i think it's dumb to even try to save the weight, especially when most of what's removed only ways a few mere pounds anyway.

I like the wooden carpeted piece ... looks very clean IMO. I almost did the same with mine.

he said the purpose of this was also because his rear seats didn't match the fabric of the fronts, were faded and had a rip.... this definately looks better than some beat up seats.

 

Makes me want to remove my rear seats.
