DIY Fabric Change on Doors - Page 13

bert · 07-03-2008, 12:59 PM

I did mine and it looks great, but the little plastic "triangle" thing that fits in the frontmost part of the door kind of broke in the process (as in, I broke it. woops). I'm talking about the black plastic thing that the OP has his right hand on in this picture: http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o...y/100_1612.jpg Do you guys have any advice on reattaching it? Mine is on but its all loose and whatnot. I guess I need to use some sort of adhesive, but I wanted any input I can get before I set to work.

Any ideas??

order a new one from local honda dealer or from college hills. its only a few bux and not worth the hastle of reattaching the old broken one.

P.S. welcome to the site.

bump for how to upholster the seats in the previous picture !!!

maximus20895 · 07-06-2008, 12:29 PM

Can anyone tell me where to get this and how much I should get? I am wanting to do the door panels (coupe) and the front and rear seats.

Thanks

Just wanted to ask if anyone knows of a place that has red fabric that completely matches the Si red. Is Si red the same as the DC5 red? Maybe even the recaro dc5 red off the seats? I was looking up alcantara red, but apparently its $60 a yard. Way too pricey IMO. Please help if you have any info.

AliLaPointe · 07-23-2008, 09:29 PM

anyone do this on a GG? Im wondering what color I should go with.

vtecsir85 · 07-29-2008, 03:05 AM

I'm doing the same thing and working on a DIY for it. Gimme a little while and I should have it out soon enough.

i cant wait to start mine, it was very help full

Cbeyer2 · 11-28-2008, 04:16 PM

Hey yall.
This looks fantastic.....
Thanks soxfan for talking me into it. If you have that mysteriously pinkish microsuede from joann's fabric... Put that shit on. Sickest mod done to my car. Aside from the domo sticker. but seriously, those of you with a sedan, this will take a very long time. We have far less screws and far more melty plastic things.... I was scared to drill so I used a dremel and it took me almost all day to do these...
Excellent DIY, if you are still here.....thanks!

i wouldnt do this yourself. unless you got serious sewing skills or access to an industrial sewing machine then its gonna be hard and come out like crap. a standard sewing machine just wont cut it, no way in the world that type of threading is gonna hold the parts together when you sit on em. better off leaving this job to the pros, believe me i tried and this is the only thing so far i didnt do myself to my car
