Just read all 17 pages.
Love the doubldin, I have something similar brewing if my car doesn't die. I was able to keep the climate knobs where they are and the cig and rear def. but I haven't fiber glassed it yet (kinda worried its my first fiber glass job).

[z3roneo]

Dabuh: you'll be ok bro.. Just take your time and remember that if it doesn't look right or how you want it, it can easily be sanded down and reglassed..
Post some pics when you start and I'll help ya out..

Zack: Need more updates slacker

[sxxxt]

Hey man thanks for lookin at my log, I love lookin threw ppls logs Nd seeing actual pictures lol... So I try to post more pictures thn words...
And isekee come on now I had a 4 day weekend and I posted pictures for all 3 days I worked... Shut down for two weeks at my Job means brake swap due date....

[z3roneo]

bump it up.. Don't want this thread to drop too low..

[sxxxt]

hey thanks man, im just waiting on parts.

[2005.Neon.SXT]

Very awesome work! I love how everyone re-does their HVAC center so they can house a DVD/Navigation screen higher. If I knew how to do all that fiberglass work, I'd do that myself... seems to complicated for me right now.

[sxxxt]

Thanks man. It's really not that hard If u do ut once or watch someone it's easy.... But for plastics u should use plastic to bond the material correctly

[speed127]

just read through everything and saved a few pics to my 2nd gen folder Anyway, your carbon fiber... what did you use cause it doesn't look glossy like real CF would BUT it looks better than vinyl sticker stuff.

[a23dranger]

speed 127 its 3m di-noc.. stuff works great.. stretches over almost anything.. i did a buddies roof , my arm rest, b pillar parts in them. super easy to work with.
now other companies other then 3m are making it in glossy more real like carbon fiber along with brushed alum ,ect

btw sxxxt looks good man


what i love about the di-noc carbon fiber is it matches the srt boot pretty nicely.

[sxxxt]

like he said its 3m di-noc its not the cheap stuff from autozone.. the reason why i did go with this is because its more then just a sticker.. and it matches the boot and thats a huge thing... im gonna re cover my steering wheel and arm rest nd i think thats all im gonna do.. oh small update my darrell cox racing lca cam in no picture yet.. and waiting on my bushing kit... it was outta stock.... i need my parts for my swap over christmas vacation...

[sidepipe87]

it's not cheap auto zone fake carbon fiber, it's expensive fake carbon fiber. the difference is in the quality of the fakeness and how fake it looks.

[a23dranger]

and how it applies.. really honestly as much hate there is for this stuff vs the real deal you really have to play with some of this stuff.. its really pretty cool.. and like sxxt said the fact it matches my srt shift boot almost to a T is a big plus for me vs going real c.f Theres a reason it costs more then the autozone stuff.. same thing like with good tint vs autozone shit.

[sidepipe87]

good tint vs cheap tint is one thing, but fake cf s fake cf is another because neither of them are REAL cf. I prefer real carbon fiber and I like the look of it better.

[a23dranger]

there is a difference.. yeah its fake but when using it wrap things there is no way in hell cheap c.f can look as seemless and smooth as the di-noc like stuff.. it stretches and pulls to shape like no other.

yes real c.f is nice but for ppl who dont wanna deal with the mess, resins. ect its a good alternative that has good results..

they do have glossy "wet" style carbon fiber wrap. not made by 3m though. looks almost as good as the real thing..

[sxxxt]

lol this is turning ing to a debut. i got bought it cuz i can wrap hard to wrap peices and it looks good and it matchs periode. if it bothered me that much bout being real or not i wouldnt have gottn it lol.

[speed127]

LOL i have the real in my car but am going to go buy some of this stuff just to try it out... looks SWEET!!!! and it does match the boot perfect, so much so, that I thought you might have found the boot fabric somewhere and warped it in that

[z3roneo]

blah blah blah... It still looks good bro..

[sxxxt]

More updates, minor tho... Installed a brighter led dome light.. Fixed some minor stuff. Nd also installed a radio antanna. Pictures soon to come

[sxxxt]

Just opened up my control arms. Look really good.. I wasn't sure what color it was comming in but black is perfectly fine with me. My bushings should b on there way... Still need rotors and pads...

[patton98]

[sxxxt]

[sxxxt]

[Caraudioholic24]

Sorry I havent been on here much man....cars looking great....The dri noc stuff is awesome stuff...

Let me know how the DCR rear control arms do..Ive been debating on getting a set...

[sxxxt]

ight man, ill let you know if i ever get my bushing kit.... the bushing kit has taken over a month long to get here its taking way too long. but i dont have the rotors and pads yet either so not really a big deal.. not sure when im gonna b putting things together i only have one car now and this is going to take atleast 2 days to put everything togther.. i was supposed to have the brake assembly put bak together ready for bushings and brake lines on but my brother didnt want to help me... i have so much to do...
