for real...whatever. I'm personally not into it, but you know what I'm not gonna knock it. Dont get me wrong, I wouldnt rock it. But hells, if that whats up then thats whats up. Decent job on the upholstry though (not that it's terribly hard), but I dont see any real folds or anything so 1 thumb for that.

corey240
03-27-2007, 11:25 PM
actualy anybody that has removed the carpet on s13 panels know how the panel is one big piece and the fabric isnt a removable section, same deal on the s14, has the black vinyl cover under it and looks ok with the fabric off. plus it doesnt have thos gay air holes like s13 panels do.

when i tucked the fabric in that crevace it looked crudy with the torn edging of the fabric so i put some edging string stuff in there to cover it up and it looks perfect.

dude, all u had todo to get rid of the mangeled edges of the cloth in the door panel was tuck it really good and then take a real sharp razor and trim it on the inside of the channel of the door panel. looks like ya also over stretched the material abit, but hey its alright if thats your first try.

corey240
03-28-2007, 10:52 AM
well its not that easy, at all. it looks shitty and cheap that way. i dont care how sharp your razor is and how steady your hand is it iwll still look cheap for alot of reasons and this stuff just filled in the gap and made it look more complete, and btw you cant overstretch fabric that doesnt stretch at all, it isnt fleece or anything like that. heres the shit i used till i can get the black vinyl type of edging.

if you look close enough you can see the stuff tucked in the crevace..

People sure like to jump on the bandwagon and bash your interior on here. Wow.

I like it. It's original, and looks better than my scratched up blue stock interior. The only thing I don't like much is how you covered that gauge. Otherwise, looks nice.

Ian
03-28-2007, 12:35 PM
Ok, lets be real here for a second.


Yes, you did a pretty good job of covering your door panels (which is what you're showing off no doubt)

Great. Fantastic. I'm proud of you.


But seriously, your choice in fabric is horrible. Your door panels look like they're covered in ugly boxer shorts. I'm pretty sure I've seen pajamas that use that exact pattern. Is that what you did? Buy a pajama set and cut it up into door panel inserts? I'm pretty sure that's what it looks like.


Don't be mad at me because I don't like your idea and don't be embarrassed to say, "Fuck, my interior looks like dog shit."


Just go to your local fabric store and pick up some new material that looks cool. I'd suggest a heavier gauge of fabric. Go animal print or something if you're going for a goofy look. Otherwise, pick up some nice vinyl or suede or some shit and call it a day.

corey240
03-28-2007, 12:36 PM
the gauge was just for the fuck of it. il probly un wrap it at some point, i just wanted to see what it will look like installed. after moving it around i decided the best place to put it for me practicaly is the pillar, so a single pillar pod is going up until i decid a beter place. i dont want to take my eyes off the road too long to check somthing like that.

in my old car it had gauges and the bezels allways glared in my eye really bad from its placement.

I'm sure the effort was good. It's just the pattern that isn't to everyone's liking. How about some lightning bolts? I'm serious. The plaid pattern reminds me of Big Boi from Outkast.

If you post something like this what do you expect people to say? Wow dude green and white plaid goes great in your emerald green s14? Get serious originality points 100, craftsmenship points 80, style points -10000. Stock s13 tweed looks better then this.

Definitely a good job! Color scheme is okay, couldn't find gray/black plaid? Or maybe gray/green plaid? I would have went with a darker plaid instead of lighter.

J.Silvia
03-28-2007, 09:42 PM
its actually not that hard ive done it and i used a razor =) Dont wanna sound like an ass but does anyone else notice that the armrests lines in the patern arent straight, which makes me beleive that the fabric was stretched abit too much in one direction. like i said im not trying bring ya down it isnt that bad for your first try but next time let me now if ya need some help and ill gladly give some to advice/ suggestions to anyone.

corey240
03-28-2007, 09:52 PM
its not stretched too much, when i layed it down im gona make shore its straight next time.im gona redo that next time with some foam whic his why i ddint mind the line being a little off.

J.Silvia
03-28-2007, 09:58 PM
o ok, ya u gotta watch how ya lay things out otherwise its really easy to get off alittle bit. I would use at the most 1/2" foam i believe thats what i used. Gives it the pefect cushy feeling imho.

03-29-2007, 05:33 AM
Corey, J.Silvia does interiors. He just went to school for it. Take whatever free advice you can get in this world. Having someone that knowledgeable about interiors and sharing trade secrets is awesome! Don't take it to heart, just take it for what it is. ADVICE. You don't have to take it, but it is always nice to listen to it...good or bad. Learn from others.

J.Silvia, what would be the proper way of doing S13 door panels? I want to do mine in something goofy, and the problem I have run into with a friends is streaching the fabric, because the panel is concave. I have seen it done before in one piece, I was just curious, does the foam help with that? Do you start in the middle and work out?

ladiesman8527
03-29-2007, 07:41 AM
what the fuck?? how long did this take you to do? i hope not long. whats wrong with the S14 factory interior?

J.Silvia
03-29-2007, 09:54 AM
nothing is wrong with factory s14 interior other then if u get one with a green dash lol, sometimes i like it :bigok:. As far as overstretching material the easiest way to get rid of it is just make sure u cut enough to completely encompass the whole insert on the door panel. i suggest using a semi heavy coat of glue on the fabric and a lighter coat of glue on the panel insert itself. MAKE SURE that the insert area is cleaned as good as u can do i used a air grinder with i very mild grit (cant remember how fine), also make sure the glue u use wont bleed through the fabric i learned from mistakes lol. take a piece of scrap material and see how heavy u can go with the glue before it bleeds through. oh ya i used landua glue the same glue they use for sticking vinyl tops to roofs, let the glue tack up abit and be damn sure that u get it right when you lay it down cause once its the inserts applied goodluck to you my friends cause it aint gonna wanna come off. Once your ready to apply the material start from the middle out (same basic concept as a sticker). when you get to the outside edges of the insert make sure you have enough glue on the material so when you stuff the material into the channels of the door panel its sticks, then take a putty knife with round corners and stuff the material in nice and firm. As i stated in other posts take a brand new razor and cut about dead center in the channel to remove the excess material, you can cut abit closer to your insert if you would like but BE VERY CAREFUL. thats pretty much the most of what ya need to know when putting in the door panel inserts with both s13/s14 if ya guys have any other questions let me know:2f2f:

ps.ill be getting my $2500 sewing machine in a few months once i pay off some bills cause i know there are a few people on here that wants some stuff done :bigok:

creative, isnt that the stuff you use to strech mesh in window screens? nice not a huge fan of green, but it goes with the car. nice work but maybe you shoulda washed your hands first:keke:

well its not that easy, at all. it looks shitty and cheap that way. i dont care how sharp your razor is and how steady your hand is it iwll still look cheap for alot of reasons and this stuff just filled in the gap and made it look more complete, and btw you cant overstretch fabric that doesnt stretch at all, it isnt fleece or anything like that. heres the shit i used till i can get the black vinyl type of edging.

what do you mean wash my hands? i was wearing laytex gloves so i didnt get glue on my hands.

i also learned from my mistake on using too much glue. I figured out that you need to spray the glue on and just make shore it isnt in a thick glop of shit anywhere, spray some on the fabric. then let it sit around 30 seconds and setup so its tacky. its much easier to work with and if you used too much glue anywhere it wont soak through and out the material (unless it soaked into foam), which comes to another thing.

i figured that you can leave the foam under the old insert on but you HAVE to get the old foam outa that crevace and off the edge of it so the glue will go down it. i also figured out like j said, make shore the material is bigger then the work piece. i firstcut and exact size piece to put on and it was just way to smal. i figured this.

lay the fabric over the workpiece. take a sharpie and trace the general shape your trying to cover but when you trace it, make the line aboue 3-4 inches too big and just make shore you dont spray the hole piece of material or it will stick all over the panel where it doesnt need to be and its a pita to get the glue off.

thanks j tell me all you want im listening.

what i did was remove the old insert very carefully and traced it and added about 6 inches all the way around. i did the whole interior so i ordered like 3yds extra of material just in case of screw ups. to me everything is pretty basic knowledge clean everything, take your time and keep it clean in the process.
