Default weekend projects: DIY vinyl and exhaust

well, i didnt like the carpet crap on the door panel and arm rest, so here is what i did:





did it how everyone else did...off with the panel, cut the plastic rivets, ripped off the cloth, then cut the vinyl to approx the right size, sprayed some spray glue on both the vinyl and plastic piece, then stretched the vinyl over it let it dry, then used 1/2" #12 screws and washers to hold it to the door again. Same for center console

And here is my exhaust nice and pretty:



Apex'i WS.

enjoy

good job most people mess up on the vinyl as it is usually hard to put on contoured pieces w/o having wrinkles............oh and gotta love the WS

Thanks for the great responses yall. I know i really need to clean up my car. I think most people here would have a **** fit if they saw how dirty my car is.

also, don't think there isnt the minor wrinkle in the vinyl i just know how to hide it well

and yes the WS is quiet and i love it

Oh, i forgot to mention to anyone doing this project. DO NOT use the 3M 90 super strength spray glue. It sprays out too much glue and doesnt spread evenly. The 77 may work, but I used the Duro brand from wal-mart and it worked great. Was the easiest to work with.
