I was checkin out the silvias on ebay about a month ago and i came across a green rhd coupe with a ka-t . he said it was a drift car everything gutted except for the dash which had a louie vitton print/fabric on it, i never asked the guy how he got his interior cause i thought it was lame, but i saved the pick and now i think its pretty sick. SO im if this is a repost im sorry, and if anyone knows how i can get my hands on some of that knock off fabric, i think it be tight:coold:

Haha that is pretty different, I would check EBay for the fabric or maybe search some online fabric sites.

for reference...it's Louis Vuitton

but anyhow, i'm SURE there are plenty of knockoffs of that print...just as there are plenty of any other designer print as well.

I saw that car and I liked it a lot. Back in my custom audio days I tried to find that print to wrap my sub box in. Couldnt find it anywhere.

What is Louis Vuitton any way? I see people doing it to there bikes but dont know the point. Is it like Sean John or armani? If so, why would you put that in a car?

Louis Vuitton is a designer of clothing, handbags I think they have also done furniture. Anways its the kind of thing that asian girls go for big time. Yes I know thats a stereotype but its true. Actually Armenian girls are crazy about it as well. Why do I know this? Japanese girlfriends.

Thanks for answering my question. I hope we have crushed the drama between us.

If I owned an Ferarri and took it in the ass, then I might consider reapolstering my interior with Louis Vuitton. You drive a 1500$ car. Doing that to an s13 is like gold plating a ford pinto.

yeah, if you know a biker (majority being stunters) theyll steer you into the right direction...theyve been doin it for a while...the knockoffs arent hard to find; ebay has plenty...i think the first pic doesnt look that bad; the dash, glove, and shifter...the seat however is a lil too tacky for me...

all im sayin is that i think it looks better than a black leather shift boot, the dash is a little to much, im thinkin shift boot, glove box, and the door panels. hey and if it gets me some more bitches to jock, im all for it :naughtyd:

forget all that shit i've been trying to find alcantra dash kits for the longest time, alcantra s14 door panel covers and alcantra dash kits. if anyone knows where to get ANY of this stuff PLEASE let me know i've been looking for so long.

i'm thinking about getting some transformers bed sheets and using that...or possibly if i can find a thicker material w/ transformers...that would be totally sweet

Ian

have you tried going to any of your local fabric stores? They'll stock many types of suede...maybe not alacontra...but then again do you actually know the difference between that and other types of suede? (not trying to offend, just asking realistically)

Johny5
09-23-2005, 08:01 AM
yes alcantra is chosen on many many rally car teams to reduce glare on the windshield, of course suede will in fact do the same thing, but i was under the impression a good solid alcantra fabric will not color fade REAL fast and can also breath easier, i.e. not retain heat as it will be black.

i never thought i'd see a thread about LV on zilvia...

Ian

not exactly. Alacantra is

1. soft
2. provides good grip on clothing (IE steering wheel+gloves=glue same goes for a race suit in a seat)
3. man made so it's tough unlike most other suedes that you may have seen before (IE suede shoes? step on them=die)



but yeah, i'm pretty sure it's hard to find alacantra suede for a decent price so i'd suggest looking in to alternatives. If you're looking to reduce glare, there are TONS of other fabrics you could use that wouldnt rip you a new one like buying alacantra. (i'm saying this by going off of the price they charge from Sparco directly...which is ridiculous)

Johny5
09-23-2005, 08:24 AM
well how about a cloth similar? i will not be covering my steering wheel with the shit, probably just dash, the door panels, glovebox, etc. just accents that either show heat/sun wear too much or have drill holes in them etc. i'm fixing mistakes while trying to improve.

ya my ex is big on Coach. Same damn shit , pretty much sure it all comes out of the same factory.
I will never forgot the day she came home and said look at my handbag, isn't it cool? I was like how much was it and she says $700 . I just looked at her and said I think you have a shopping addiction.
She responds you think so ? I think your right.
$700 on a fucking handbag!!

the L/V knock off fabric isn't very expensive at all, i found some and its like 15 bucks for 3' by 3' which is enough for me to fabricate a shiftboot and recover my door panels. Im stoked :bigok:

That car belonged to Taylor Durdan of Tampa. He built it at his shop, Durdan Perfab, however, he's since moved to ZFever (in Tampa, again).
Just FYI.

Sure you had to chime in now. But im sure any other girl walking past the car would stop and go "OMG look at the interior" while the owner just kicked back and grinned. Me, I would rather have Burberry. +2 Pimp points.

Once, I saw a black AE86 in Hong Kong, with the louis vuitton pattern on the whole car. Of course, I thought it looked horrible.

I can't decide. If he got the fabric for low money, why the hell not? The rest of the car was done right, if i recall correctly.

It all connects with drifting being the rice side of racing, really.

if we were all after just getting girls to look at our cars we'd paint them pink and glittery and just try to make the car look "pretty". Burberry is just as gay. -10 life points to the guy w/ the LV interior.
