Why would I need to know how to sew? It is not needed for re-wrapping pieces. Just spray adhesive, scissors, and a hot glue gun.

Paint...... I still really cant make up my mind 100%, but recently, I have been pushing towards my original gunmetal metallic color (still need to find a paint code) that I started off with. Champ. white is most likely out of the picture since I have become more and more of a metallic paint fan over the past few weeks.

I was joking bro haha since you ordered 3 yards of it like youd have to sew it together before putting it down haha nvm lol but i say either oem silver or the gun metal. Champ. White would be sick on a coupe though but idk if hcf is ready for that yet lmao jk jk i like the gun metal idea better tho

I think I know what you are talking about now. You think that each yard will be individually cut? Damn... I hope not. I assumed the seller was competent enough to think "OK, he ordered 3 yards, I will just make one cut, fold the entire thing and ship it." (instead of making three cuts for three separate pieces) I guess we will see when it comes in!

Nope, paint stills looks good! We got all kinds of rain the past few days and no moisture in the headlights, too! They are holding up nicely. The lights may get some picture time tomorrow as I am snapping pictures of the new intake set-up.

^^Thanks.

No pictures of the intake set up as of yet... mainly b/c it is not done yet. LOL

I got the new headliner fabric in today and immediately started re-wrapping stuff. right now, the headliner, sunroof privacy cover, and the center console have been re-wrapped. The doors are all that is left and should be done tomorrow or the next night!

Picture of the headliner/sunroof cover:

Excuse the sh!tty picture, my camera didnt want to behave. I couldnt get a decent shot of the center console for that reason as well, so no pics of that at this time.

Yea, I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. Wrapping the headliner with this bed sheet type fabric was alot harder than the fleece stuff I have now since it stretched, and the Thomas sheets dont! Much harder to work out all of the ripples, especially around the edges! Hell, if i dont like it, I will just reinstall the fleece wrapped one I have now.

Thanks for the positive words Kenny. I can imagine many people will have mixed thoughts on it.
