![]() I have finished my interior an on the center its flat black with gloss red an i think it looks great all together but im not painting anymore interior pieces cuz then it will be to much, this is just right!
I did my taillights with that idea i had finally, its not as dark as i wanted it to be but looks good an if i did completely black out where its smoked it still would be legal cuz theres enough light that shines threw I also redid my trunk, the material board stuff was all ate up from water leaking in there so i redid it with plywood( wanted to do it with Diamond plate/tread plate but ended up with plywood) an kept the original carpet an it took a few hours but got it done! What do you think? Today i finished sanding the scratches out my rims that the original owner did an i plan on painting then mainly black with alil red in it an if it turns out not that good then ill just buy some rims...i also painted my back drums bkack cuz they are completely rusted an plan on doing the caliper an disk in front so it wont rust an stay good for awhile! I really wanna lower it but where i live it would be hell! Lol so im not sure yet ... support your local 81!

![]() Yes, and it will preserve and protect from rock chips on the bottom of your rocker panels. You can pickup some cheap molded ones at autozone or pep boys.

![]() I wish this site would let me look at the pics
![]() from what I can see, I expecially like what you did with the trunk floor. Did you replace the floor with wood, and made flip up doors? I need to redo mine bec the subwoofer box I got, plugs whatever heavy stuff stored back there (currently a 1.5t rapid jack, and an ATC200 3 wheeler engine) really takes a toll on the cardboard ... 03 ion-2 Sedan 5sp 94 Honda civic automatic "VTEC yo" 05 Santa Fe 2.7L (Fefe) {Wrecked} "A problem clearly stated, is a problem half solved." ♕KCCO

The trunk has 2 sets of hinges, 1 set pretty much right behind the back seats an the second in the middle so i can pretty much fold it up (i started with 1 set then didnt want to have to make something to hold it up like a hood), the side pieces where pretty hard to cut but i got it done, then i took all the insulation an material board off the carpet an put the carpet in an cut out what i needed an just have it stapled on right now but plan on gluing it when its done. Its alot better then how it was before, it would pretty much sag on top of the battery an seemed to me it could gave been a hazard specially if the carpets wet like it use to get!!! I been wanting to tint my windows, it would look alot better but never have done it before an i know you can mess it up easily ... support your local 81!

![]() How does it look like a 6v bug or a car with a bad alternator? If your saying that just cuz of me smoking the tails that still dont make since, even if it was completely blacked out, But even if i blacked out what i smoked completely it would still be pretty bright.

![]() shading lights can look good and still be somewhat functional if done right.
however, it is illegal, and can get a ticket for having them shaded too. depending on whos enforcing (city, parish/county, or state), and how well it is enforced, you can stilll be cited regardless if you left a small section unshaded. some will pull you over for the shade, some will only cite you when they pull you over for something else more serious (ie. speeding or running a red light/stop sign). when making modification to things that affect your visibility to others, you have to consider how visible it to other drivers, expecially during the day, and how illegal it is. i dont mean to rant about this, but things like this always needs extra consideration, and a little homework before doing it. ... 03 ion-2 Sedan 5sp 94 Honda civic automatic "VTEC yo" 05 Santa Fe 2.7L (Fefe) {Wrecked} "A problem clearly stated, is a problem half solved." ♕KCCO

![]() I actually dont think its illegal the way i have it, yea i could still get pulled over for it but most likely not get in trouble. You actually cant even tell on the tails at night at all an the sidemarkers still do what there suppose to, alot of cars side markers are like the size of quarters an that still is better then those an i think that if i completely blacked what i smoked on the tails its still pretty bright an actually seem fine, look at how your tail lights light up at night witch is one of the reasons i did it that way (sedans tails i think light up different) but im not going to do it any darker unless i put leds strips or something in the parts i didnt paint but probably not.

![]() That Trunk Material Board is living hell, mine is split and I LOVE what you did with the plywood, if you had any plans or anything i'd love to get my hands on them so i can fix my trunk's material board. right now my spare tire got ripped apart because i had some cut metal in the trunk and since the board is split it rubbed against the tire ripping it apart.

Now, how I did it... I followed the tracing step, then I used 2/4 to raise it up and built a frame for the two side pieces and the back just behind the seats. I have a door for spare access that hinges at the back piece and rests on the 2x4 frame. There is battery access that I can pry up with my finger and I use that to hold the spare tire door open. I bought carpet that was a close match and it wraps around each piece. On hindsight, the 2x4 was probably overkill, If you like my approach, use something smaller and preserve that usable trunk space. Edit: I also used MDF rather than plywood because I already had it. Go with whatever is lighter ![]()

![]() Sorry i been real busy lately (years later lls) yea i pretty much traced it using the carpet an then cut the traced piece in 4 peices then glued the carpet to the plywood.
Its holding up very good, i keep a 100+ pound tool box back there an always filling it with big tools an never had a problem with it at all. ... support your local 81!
