Red won't be any worse than the blue :D At least it'll match the car...

I think that red looks great, and I wanted to do it, but

a) I couldn't find red paint fabric paint at any of the local auto stores.

b) I was worried the red would combine with the blue into a crappy shade of who-knows-what.


So I stuck with the safe bet and used Duplicolor fabric flat black. It matches the rest of the seat very well, even to the point of looking stock. I would agree with you that it does look a bit plain.

Just a few tips if you try this:

As with any painting project, take your time taping off the edges. Focus on the edges when painting. Paint the edges first and use your free hand to pull the edges as flat as possible. I had to retape and repaint around the edges of my first seat because the paint didn't make it all the way down to the bottom of the seams.

Once the seats are painted and dry, use a brillow pad, stiff brush, or something else to scrub/massage the painted areas. This breaks up the top layer of paint and softens the material. It also helps to speed up getting rid of the paint smell. I also rubbed the seat with a dryer sheet and allowed the seats to air out overnight to help get rid of the smell.

I'll try to get some pics up tonight of my seats. I'm interested to see red seats...

PKRON05 Thanks for the advice any chance you wanna lend a hand?

I say go black, screw the red. But it might be worth a try, idk. I just think it'll end up looking cheap rather than clean.

If you do paint you seats start with the passanger side first. So when you do the drives seat you will get it perfect. Just something that I have learned from working on cars

Nothing wrong with all black interior, Id prefer that over colors.

If you are bored with all black, throw a couple of these in. :)

Nice car. I'm guessing you bought this car from a kid named Jeremy Simonson. He seemed like he took really good care of it.

So I hope I'm not intruding on your thread, but here are some crappy pics I took of the seats. The lighting is really hard to get right with these seats, plus I noticed I have scratches on my damn camera lense. On to the pics...

If you're ever in the Mankato area and I'm not busy, I'd be more than happy to help you out. I'm willing to bet you could tackle this on your own though.

Nice car! I say keep the CF truck lid, and go with a Rexpeed lip like Rosey has on his car.

[Cammaxon]

Definitely not intruding. The all black does look really sick.... I know I can do it on my own i'm just not sure when I can tackle this project.
1st things 1st...

I NEED WINTER TIRES

I'm guessing i'm going to have to buy new.
When should I put them on? I don't want to waste them when it's nice out.
And aside from the obvious answer, Blizzaks, What should I consider for tires?

Should I go with the oem size or other?
