And please keep us updated on what you do with your camber/drop. I'm assuming you're dropped 1", but I think I read earlier that you might drop it a little more.

God... I want your ride! :P

the drop is more than an inch i think, because the wheel gap is gone and it was MASSIVE stock i doubt i'll go lower to be honest, it drives too well for me to ruin it. i will fix that camber though.

yes sir! wrapped the rings/center/hvac surrounds. then swapped to all black shifter/buttons/handles/steering wheel trim.

Any chance you could do a write-up on the whole wrapping process? I do remember that it's your first time working with fabric, and I'm pretty convinced that I'm gonna want to do the same thing to my interior too. ITS TOO SMEXY. :P

Where did you get the Black trim pieces? I have been wanting to do this since I got the car.

its really simple.

first pop out all the trim you want. lay it over the fabric and cut enough to cover it and then some.

then get some good glue. i used 3m 90. take the fabric and spray it with glue, then apply the foam to hte fabric. let it dry.

the spray the glue on what you are wrapping and on the foam. let it get tacky and apply it. stretch it, and put it on. start with the center of the piece and pull and smooth it out, fold over the corners and pull it tight. trim the excess with a knife. if it doesn't look good peel off and start over i did that multiple times.

What foam did you use? This will be the first time I'd be working with fabric as well, so I don't want to miss anything. :P

[Jive Turkey]

Damn. I really want to know what foam you used. Even if you manage to snap a few phone pics of what you have leftover, maybe it'll give me an idea, haha.
