Yeah I hear ya, wish it did work with it too.

And that reminds me to get off my ass and finish putting my bikini top together. BTW when you did yours, did you use any adhesive?

Sorry for the late response. I don't know how I missed this. But I didn't use any adhesive. I just used the metal straps and screws and screwed the fabric onto the front bow. I had to cut little pieces of the straps to get it to work but I will probably redo it using a solid single piece of metal strap.

Centre Console Carpet - http://omgpham.com/centre-console-carpet

Was browsing build threads this morning and spotted someone doing a custom centre console carpet, looked cool so I decided to hack my spare parcel shelf carpet too.

I'm not sure if I want to get a shorty console yet, or just modify the current tombstone so it looks nicer. I'll also have to relocate the window switches.

I first used some cardboard to mock up a pattern.



I then transferred it onto an old pillow case to test out the fitment.




After I made a few adjustments to the pattern, I traced it onto the parcel shelf carpet and cut it out. If you're doing the same, make sure you place the pattern the correct side down.





Pretty happy how it's turned out, will pick up some Velcro (with the double sided tape) and attach it to certain spots so that the carpet sits nice and flat. I'm undecided whether I should get the the carpet edges "binded", might call an upholsterer for a quote.

Good job on the console, that turned out great I've heard of people using instabind with very good results, here's a link http://www.bondproducts.com/instabind/

Also, center console looks good man. When I was rebuilding my shifter, I had the center console out and I was kind of liking it without it but I use my center console for storage and the arm rest.

Thanks mate! Will check that out, binding will really make it look professional.

Good to hear! I saw their video showing to use adhesive but I don't have any of stuff in my garage.

It's surprisingly makes the cabin a lot of more spacious, I also have door pulls which add to the effect. Love it!

But where do your arms rest?

It works well without the adhesive. Mine is wrapped up right now for the winter. I'll try and get pics up so you can see it.

This thing just keeps getting better. Motivating me to work on the car again, almost

Haven't seen this car in a while, looks good! Everytime I see it I'm jealous of your wheels. I want the polished lip on my OG sans D:

I love my OG-San wheels, I get a bit of hate for them because they're "reps" but everyone has their own version of meshies so whatever haha. And they weight isn't bad either.

I also love my OG sans. In fact, I think we have discussed this before.
