very average, were taken before the car got wet this arvo

marcs_sp20 · 03-11-2009, 06:41 PM

thinkin about this for the interior, in a darker blue, and with standard seats up front.

been quoted a $1000 for black vinyl with blue suede inserts, havent asked how much just to replace the grey and leave the black suede ...

mussing · 03-11-2009, 06:49 PM

70NYD · 03-11-2009, 06:49 PM

It does, but the car is mostly undercover most of the time.

you dont know how long I have been trolling the forums to find that photo, I absolutely love that interior, and thats my inspiration

mussing · 03-11-2009, 07:51 PM

Did you consider going with that place that does the leatherette seat covers with embossed logo etc? Pretty sure that was around $500, and I'm thinking you could get the doors redone for less than $500, meaning less than a grand in total.

marcs_sp20 · 03-11-2009, 07:59 PM

they dont have the templates for the BJ astina, only BA & BG. For them to do the coverings they need your existing seat coverings, one thing I dont want to do. thats only for the 4 seats aswell, its more again for embroidery work & extra material for door cards, so realistically its close to $1000 plus then you have to put them on yourself..

$1000 i got quoted was for material, needle work & putting on the seats...

familiagtx · 09-11-2009, 09:46 AM

sounds alright....

just shop around before committing to one retrimmer.

thats the mistake i did when i built my kf/kh laser

marcs_sp20 · 09-11-2009, 08:40 PM

Yeah im just undecided if I want to go the whole "leather look", or just just get the grey fabric replaced...

spendings on the car has been put on hold for the moment, xmas pressies dont pay for themselves

02-KQ-LASR · 09-11-2009, 08:47 PM

the only thing i hate bout my leather interior is its really tempramental if its hot the seats are hot an sticky, if its cold theyre cold!
but the looks far outway the negatives!

70NYD · 09-11-2009, 08:48 PM

have you ever thought of leather bolsters with fabric seats?
i wanted to do that to myn, leather, with either microfibre or sports mesh so it breaths better (reason y i got myn now lol)

nothn worse than a wet line down your back from the seat

I had leather in my Sportivo, but had slip-on seat covers on for the worst part of summer last year, but some time a few months ago I ditched the seat covers as the bare leather felt more comfortable. The seats were never as much a problem as the steering wheel in hot sun.

JDM conversion is complete

Some people might not like the look, but was kinda over the altezza's...

Why I said I am now all JDM, is that the US boys only got the 3 circled tails on all the Protege5's, and update the look with older style lights, basically the opposite we usually do, just with the clear lights...

and for the record... I am keeping the tail lights!!!

project.r.racing · 11-11-2009, 07:53 PM

they just the regular 1.6/1.8 BJ tail lights yeah?

chicaboo · 11-11-2009, 07:54 PM

Yeah, it's nice seeing a splash of red on the back again for the first time in years!

I am thinking of keeping the ugly lumps or red and orange plastic on my Pulsar too. But mine's real JDM though.

70NYD · 11-11-2009, 07:56 PM

UGH orange

looking good marc

i would have never gotten altezas if my taillights didnt have ORANGE lol (i dont like orange can you tell

)

Brisbane_boy · 11-11-2009, 07:56 PM

y did u hav to take out all the boot plastics??
Still looks good gives it a bit more colour

project.r.racing · 11-11-2009, 07:58 PM

well i like it. the black and blue didn't work for me. but it ain't my car. so my tastes doesn't really count.

Cheers cuz.

The orange you can slightly see is the reflection from the indicator bulbs, might have to replace them with some chrome items

All you have to do is take out the 3 plastic bungs and it shows the nuts, unscrew them and the tails pop out

I took the whole interior plastics out as I am replacing the springs on Saturday, so killed to birds with one stone so to speak
