I'm not feeling the white since nothing else on the interior is white. I think a dark, deep bronze or something similar (but still distinctly different) to the ivory colors already in there would look nice.

Yeah, that's what I was told by people.

There's a reason why I'm not a decorator! I get to go to the fabric store again!

jeremy0203 · 07-27-2007, 04:05 PM

the white actually looks nice with those colors but there is just a lil too many color variations in the deal

Esoter1c · 07-28-2007, 06:20 AM

Yeah I agree, especially with the dark colour of the locks/window buttons and door handle, maybe you should try spraypainting those white? I think that would probably help alot!

Ok as promised, pictures of my EX Neutron Blue (Canadian) with a dark blue faux suede.

zenith931 · 07-28-2007, 10:34 AM

Yeah, the blue works really well! +rep for you!

***fuller083*** · 07-28-2007, 11:03 AM

Looks like it matches that Si emblem on the seat pretty well. Nice write up.. I'm doing this next thursday..

***'06Siguy*** · 07-28-2007, 08:12 PM

Thanks for the DIY

civix · 07-28-2007, 09:26 PM

stupid question: does this void the warranty in any way?

jeremy0203 · 07-28-2007, 10:24 PM

no reason that it should

**firmhonda** · 07-28-2007, 11:49 PM

no. Not unless you were going to try and get your panel replaced under warranty for some reason, and even then they would have to prove that the change in fabric was the cause of the failure.

civix · 07-29-2007, 08:56 AM

Okay, that's what I thought. I have another question though....

To anyone that has done this: have you noticed any rattles in the door?

(sorry for all the stupid questions)

**firmhonda** · 07-29-2007, 12:26 PM

I have yet to hear any rattles on esx005's door, but to be fair when the wastegate opens you can't hear anything but screaming.

jeremy0203 · 07-29-2007, 06:45 PM

my material will be coming this weak i went to the auto parts store for adhesive today and the only 3m they had was some 88 stuff and a 08090 which im guessing is like the 90??? what adhesive did everyone use?? they also had loctite adhesive dunno if its good or not but loctite is a good brand name

esx005 · 07-29-2007, 07:15 PM
