Oooooohhh.....that's a good idea. Never thought about that actually.

Basically, something like this is what I am going for...

(^pic from ebay, I'm not spending $20 on it, I would rather go to Home depot, spend $5 on a sheet of aluminum and make it myself.)

In process of making the intake shield thingy now, pics will be up tonight if it gets done.

Also, I went and picked up a new set of powered mirrors, a headliner, side moldings, and a set of A-pillars.

I needed new mirrors since one broke in a minor accident (see first page), and put back together using Gorilla glue and homemade brackets. The motor didn't work after that as well. I need new side moldings since the passenger ones I have now have a few little chunks missing and some clips broken off.

The headliner will be re-wrapped a dark gray color, and the A-pillars will be painted to match. My interior will not have the tan pillar pieces and be 100% gray/dark gray/black. I am hoping it'll look nice.

Re-wrapped the door panels and arm rest yesterday. Ended up playing it safe and going with a dark gray (instead of a red to be m4d jdm tyte). The headliner, sun visors and the rest of the interior work will be done this week. Yes, it is dark gray and fleece. Soooo comfortable.

Since I am re-wrapping a spare headliner, I'll have a stock one sitting in my shed. I'm thinking of doing something different just for fun. The first idea that popped into my head was a Where's Waldo bed sheet that I would cut, and wrap the headliner with. When people get in the car, they just stare up......searching for Waldo. Anyone have any other cool ideas?

Also, a bunch of my friends think it will look good if I wrap my a/b/c pillars with this fleece (in addition to my headliner, sunvisors etc). I think the interior will look over done at that point and begin to look horrible. Anyone have any input?

If I start wrapping all of that stuff (pillars/rear dash/etc) I think that the interior is going to look over done. Anyone else think this is a good idea?

Oh yea, the car seat will be eventually changed to a black/dark gray one once I get some extra money. I hate having only one car seat and having to continually take it out, put it in someone else's car (mom, step-dad, baby's mamma), and then have to put it back in my car. The dark gray one will be mine and the tan one can go to whoever. lol

^^ Well, for the longest time, I couldn't determine whether or not I wanted red or dark gray. I was leaning towards dark gray, but 94chb was the one who said "No Red, go gray" for the door panels and arm rest and then my mind was made up. lol

I'll end up painting the pillars dark gray, and leaving the rear dash as is.

Quoted so 94chb doesn't feel the need to defend himself. Obviously, he is not my friend. lol Love ya mitch.

Edit-so-I-don't-double-post: Ordered a Kamikaze 4-1 (1 piece) header, 50 ft. black exhaust wrap, DEI black silicone wrap sealant, and a bunch of steel ties. Came out to be $98 total!..........................sweet
