So a few updates for everyone. I went to the dealer to get the tpms issue resolved they said that none of the sensors were showing any signal and were reading “00000”. So that’s still an ongoing issue I have been trying to resolve. Any suggestion on this would be greatly appreciated.

now on to the fun stuff. So as you are all aware I have dyed my seats. Did it I think august of last year. Someone did ask if the dye comes off. Well after about 7 months of light use. Yes the dye started pulling from some problem areas. What I mean by problem areas is the areas that had natural leather cracking or bending. The company advised I use this leather repair solution to repair the cracks and bends then re dye. After doing that I added about 3 layers of top coat with a satin sheen rather then a high gloss. Looks more oem in my opinion. Been in and out of the car to test durability so far so good. I am attaching before and after a of the outcome. I will say though for anyone that is thinking about doing this buy yourself a paint gun and a compressor and do it that way. Sponge brushing a whole interior not only takes longer I’m in this project at least 20+ hours but runs you the risk of not layering properly I’ll show some examples of that as well.

Still waiting on those test pipes, I know I keep saying they’re going in soon but they just keep getting delayed. One of these days I’ll have them in lol

 

It’s been some time but since the last post I finally got the fast intentions test pipes on the car finally! They sound amazing paired up with the Gemini cat back I have on there and butt dyno approved for sure.

just doing some minor things here and there just to dress her up and bring her back to her former glory. I know it’ll never be back to how it was when it was brand new but I’m getting close.

want to throw in some new pads and slotted/drilled rotors soon and do some basic boring maintenance. For the most part I can say she’s exactly how I want her to be.

 

Gorgeous is the only words that come to mind. Killer job

 

I missed the white-2-black transformation until this morning. OMG that looks fantastic.

White and stone leather is a relaxing combo, IMO, and one of the rationales for why I like that configuration in my car. But black with red leather... Wow! That really looks good. Very well done, OP.

 

thank you! I basically fulfilled my 18 year old dream car at 33 but it’s never too late now I get to enjoy it with my kids 🤣

 

while the combo was nice the car needed a whole lot of love it also gave me the opportunity to bring it to exactly how I wanted. So I took the shot and luckily it came out really good in my opinion.

thank you for the kind words !
