Also, on a NHBP ex sedan, what color would you guys go with? Blue, black or gray?

Any estimated time of completion guys??

depends if you have a hard time to do it. say 5 min each door to take off. 20-30min a door to complete. then 5 min a door to put back on. if it flows nicely those times could vary. it's not hard it's just you should take your time or you'll mess it up.

no need to sand. just spray lightly over the panel let sit for a sec so the glue is tacky and then apply material.

boyfriend finished mine tonight

Looks unique.

***PrEgO CaNe*** · 02-02-2009, 09:57 PM

not feeling that. if you changed the stitching and the si on the seat to orange then it might look a lot better.

***curtis1893*** · 02-02-2009, 11:17 PM

looks nice and original

^looks like woodgrain without my contacts lol.

Man stupid fabric stores dont have the butter scotch i wanted.

***bossman*** · 02-03-2009, 03:26 AM

loving this thread,i can't wait to do my doors in black bandana print.Also doing the armrest.

***J-Ro*** · 02-03-2009, 03:05 PM

^ If you're doing the armrest, make sure you use a very durable material, since it's a high-wear area.

***curtis1893*** · 02-03-2009, 03:18 PM

You could always do the sides of the arm rest to accent it. That way you wouldn't have to worry too much about it wearing down quick.

It looks like super shiny velvet...

civicgurliegurl · 02-03-2009, 05:29 PM

i do plan on restitching the red on the seats and armrest to orange. the doors were the first step. I am a girl...red is done a lot on these cars and i wasn't about to do pink or purple...orange is kinda in the middle and when my boyfriend and I are finished it will all match and be unique.

Your gonna restitch everything!?? Red is like the Si color. I think they wanted to do that to make their cars look clean and match.
