Ratboy · 03-27-2007, 01:39 PM

Anybody body into car mods? I'm thinking about fixing up my Corolla (Yeah, i know) and wanted to paint part of the interior a blue-ish color. Any tips on what to use and how to do it? Im new to it.

It's a 07 Corolla, i've been searching around the internet looking at different cars and people can make them look nice.

I need a hobby and fixing up my car would be nice... and expensive.

I'm about to continue restoring my '68 Mustang. Unfortunately I don't know much about mods on newer cars.

If you are going to change the Color on some Vinyl (Plastic pieces), try SEM-they make the stuff for the Professionals in the Industry-

I work at a Porsche Speciality shop. We also sell BMWs Porsches and Audis. I can probably help you with some info, but I'm not savy to custom interior work. You can most likely get it dyed at any upholstery shop in your area.

I can shop around and possibly locate/acquire some for you. I'm not sure about how cheap/discounted, however. We usually only hook up family, long term customers and other shops

OrangeShadow · 05-17-2007, 05:34 PM

sounds good, either pm me or hit me up on aim

I own a performance shop in colorado springs. PM me if you guys need any engine work done. www.revolutionsperformance.com WEbsite sucks right now but that will change. We also just became rota wheel dealers, www.rotawheels.com and are doing 5% over our cost for anybody in on the first order. WE have an AWD dyno dynamics dyno and we can handle up to 2800hp on one axle and 1400hp for awd cars. I will give a discounted labor rate to all OM customers. Just ask for Big Matt and mention Orange Mane and its a done deal.

I'm actually going to trade my car in after deployment and pick up a 2007 Subaru Impreza WRX. I would love the STI, but there is no way i can afford a $35k car.

OrangeShadow · 09-05-2007, 11:43 AM
