I appreciate all the comments fellas... I had no idea that it would get this attention. I am glad that I can contribute to the SC community! I was thinking of painting the cloth grille covers to black as well, what do you all think? Paint it or leave it? I did paint the tweeter covers. They turned well, but took several coats to get them to turn a solid black. I will keep posting of the future mod coming- clear turn signals, this time will be pictures of progress... It will be a trial and error, so keep your fingers crossed!

I had several cracks and one big rip in the driver side seat and a few cracks in the passenger seat. Also there was the driver side upper trim, where everyone seems to put there arm when driving was cracked through the vinyl. He repaired all of this and even touched up all of my rear seats for a mere 200 bucks. Heres a few before and after pix!

About to head out to the store so I can try this either this week or next. Can you list the amount of supplies needed? Like 1 can of spray paint should be sufficient right? I was just wondering because of the multiple layers, I didn't know how many cans I would need. Also how many sheets of sandpaper is needed. I'm thinking of going with 2 different grits of sandpaper, one rough, and one to smooth out the finish. I'm going with a flat black with an enamel coating to match my black interior. I was thinking of doing like a red or yellow paint, but that may look too much in a black interior.
