I went paint crazy

[jackal2000]

mostly it's the handkerchief and seat covers.

and skulls

And the home sub in the trunk. Pretty ghetto dude. You should have stopped to think about this. You will regret it soon when the paint all starts peeling.

Oh, I didn't even notice the banana, it's been tied there for a year. The seat covers are an easy and good enough looking way of protecting my seats. The skulls, I can't say much about. The stencil didn't work as nicely as I'd have liked it to, but it suits me.

lol, It's a home sub or nothing at the moment.

why protect what you never see? same idea with car bras haha.

[Toxin13]

Because they're not too hot looking themselves, but if I ever go to pull them out, they'd be a lot more valuable to someone else without the wear and tear. If the paint start peeling I'm going to be pretty pissed for dropping what I did into the SEM interior paint kit...

[jackal2000]

did you sand the pieces you painted prior to painting them?

[Toxin13]

With 60 and 100 grit, I read all the DIYs and found some off the site that suggested everything I used and did.

[alerored04]

Given that choice I would have gone with nothing until I could have found a deal on something a tad more respectable.

[Toxin13]

Why? If it bumps hard it bumps hard, and it most certainly does. I don't have to go popping my trunk at every stop light to show the town what's inside, I just need something that works and gives me that bass when I need it.

I don't have a picture at the moment because my car is at a body guy who is popping out and detailing both my front and rear fenders from when my cousin owned the car and hit a light pole.

Though, the power for that works pretty simply. There's a power wire leading from the inside of the cover connected to the LEDs that has a male tip on it that connects to a pouch with the female tip that connects to the switch on the pouch. In the small pouch there's a 9v battery that powers it, and the pouch has a velcro fiber on the back of it. So all you do to install is take the other piece of fabric provided that the velcro can stick to (which has a super adhesive on the back of it) and stick it to the underside of your actual steering wheel (not the column...otherwise you won't be able to turn your steering wheel without pulling the wire out), put on the cover, plug it in, and it works awesomely.

When I get my car back (Tuesday/Wednesday I should be getting it), I'll post a few pictures of it.

hahaha so true!!

I've seen far worse, but each to there own...

This is my opinion: I am going to be honest....I don't like it at all...part of it is because of the dirty floors, and the other part is because it just doesn't look good. I appreciate the effort that you are making, but it should be done tastefully and I don't think this is it. Using the sub from the house to me is just wow.I don't know what to say..I know that sub has got to be at 8 ohms and you are using a 4 ohm amp....I am truly at a lost for words, and I know not everything is everyone's taste but I think you are going in the wrong direction with a car that nice of a color....Don't take this the wrong way I'm just trying to give an honest opinion.
