Everything looks great! I like the black and yellow combo, gotta see the brakes when finished.

The yellow stitch job looks great.

Quick370z · 04-08-2013, 03:34 PM

in for pix

the stitching you used a pen? or..

TaylorRyan370 · 04-08-2013, 03:41 PM

I used a fabric marker from JoAnn Fabrics

Infamous · 04-08-2013, 04:02 PM

Did the color bleed into the seats or any of the other areas you dyed with the pen?

TaylorRyan370 · 04-08-2013, 04:05 PM

No. I mean I can't tell since yellow doesn't really show up on black.

Infamous · 04-08-2013, 04:08 PM

Cool. What was the brand of marker you used?

TaylorRyan370 · 04-08-2013, 04:15 PM

Uchida fine tip fabric markers. I tried the sharpie brand fabric markers and the yellow was too green.

TaylorRyan370 · 04-09-2013, 11:54 PM

Love getting parts in the mail

Also swapped the rear amber turn signal bulbs with chrome ones. Getting to the lights was such a pain in the

. Whoever decided the whole trunk needs to come out to access them needs to be fired lol. Looks much better though.

Where did you order your halo's at?

Did you powder coat those calipers or did you buy new ones? How much did it cost if you got them powder coated?
