Dan, your interior looks amazing. I can't even imagine how many problems you went through to have all this work
Have fun keeping it clean, especially that black carpet

Well, the learning curve is STEEP. ...but it can be done, of course. The dash the first time looked like total s'hit after I wrapped it. Sags and bubbles galore, just cleverly hidden. The second time around, it was MUCH more time consuming, but a MUCH better result. Took about 4 hours for the wrap and has some 200 staples in it. The doors are not bad, but be prepared to cut them in half in order to make it happen. Fo rizzle. If you want the full scoop on how to do it, shoot me a PM.

Phenomenal job... on all the projects you've done. I've got a question about the door panels. Do you rest your arm on the door when driving? If so does it eventually pull away or become loose?

Looks hot...would you mind if I eventually came to you when I get ready to my LED rehaul project in my next 4th gen?

Too much light color (white) because I'd get it dirty...but great job man.

It suxs that my car doesn't look like that. I think it's awesome. That gauge cluster is super bright. I wish I would get off my lazy but and do my cluster...mine is in the shop right now getting stuff done. I have to pay people b/c i don't have the time to actually do anything. It took me like 3 months just to build a box b/c of time so...But it's awesome. Check your messages
