This will be for those who wanted me to keep them up-to-date with my car & those who may need info on technical installations

 

Added the pre-97 duckbill/lay down spoiler on 4/7/12. To me it flows better with the body so it's off with the old & in with the new & I'll be getting the carbon fiber roof spoiler soon to go along with it

 

Replaced those old heavy worn seats with MK4's 3/8/12

 

Lexus IS-F paddle shift steering wheel installed 3/2/12 will be running the suprastick ecu when I do my 2JZ swap

 

My next update will be black interior conversion in about 2 weeks...stay tuned

 

Started stripping the interior this morning for DIY black interior conversion...stay tuned for pics of conversion today

 

Started on the DIY black interior conversion but "not completely done yet"...so far so good. It takes patience & good cleaning. I used alcohol to deep clean the interior and fabric.

 

Looks good.

Over spray on the wood and your carpet isn't full black i can still see tan on the last picture.

You have a ISx50 wheel btw.

 

Thanks and yeh it's not completely done yet I ran out of paint lol...The overspray on the wood is ok because I'm painting it silver to go along with my Bride Seats almost done though

 

thats not a soarer, its a SC300/400.

 

Uhh dude I know what it is & for the record I named it "Project Soarer" so read first before you get on someone's thread with immaturity

 

I've been contemplating on "painting/dyeing" my interior black for some time now. Until my buddy recently bought an SC to do an interior swap thinking it was OEM black, and it obviously wasn't. The dye, or whatever, feel so tacky and rough compared to the untouched leather. I don't see why people still do this. I think this lessens your cars' resale value a lot for a well experienced buyer.

 

the interior is coming out nice! first time I've seen that steering wheel in an SC

 

 

It depends on how you do it. I wiped down the interior with alcohol then waited two hours for it to dry & proceeded with dye. I'm going over it again tomorrow for a finish then I'll wet sand it with 2000 grit sand paper to get the rough areas out. After that it's vacuum & Armor All time

Thanks man & yeh i think I'm the only one lol
