yeah, but if i didnt listen to every negative comment - i wouldnt be where i am today either, mike!

i mean, you often have to look past whether or not it sounds negative or positive - and look further than that to determine whether or not the comment is valid.

personally, there's a ton of things that i see nowadays being done to 240's that i think is janky and cheap. but, thats just my opinion. when one expresses his or her opinion, its nothing more than that - a view.

i always try to treat a car like i would any other car of high value, whether its a 350z, corvette, porsche, ferrari, or collector car. I tell myself "does this pokemon interior look good in a mclaren f1?" NO. if i had a mclaren f1, would i do it? no.

its a personal touch, yes. and a person likes it, i guess thats all that matters. but being the rough person that i am, if i think it looks cheap like 60's wallpaper - i say it. and when i *attempted* to make a custom leather interior for my 240 and my friend called it "a home-made batman costume" i was upset, but he was right.

good thing i didnt try to keep that interior..

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's so cute... I love tokidoki....... I am just waiting for them to come out with a cute Hello Kitty Tokidoki collaboration then I am going to use it to do stuff on my S13!!!!

wow, here's a thread from the dead......

I'm not sure about the choice of design but that's a very cool idea! It's certainly a good way to spice up the ugly and boring S13 dash layout. But I agree with whoever suggested material instead of paper. As I type this I'm wearing a simple camo tee that I bought at a surplus store for $5. The material is half cotton, half polyester, so it would absorb water, and thus, resin.

It really would be simple to smear resin on the center console panel, then stretch the material over that, pushing out any bubbles and stretching it around the corners and curves. The finish would come out way better than paper ever could, and I have a serious hard on for camo shit so I think it'd be badass. Matching reupholstered door cards in the same material would be cool too. And all this could be done for maybe $10-15 in material and a few bucks in resin. Cheap and cool. Win!

Hell, taking it one step further you could even reupholster the center panels on your seats in matching BDU material. Now that's a custom interior I could live with!
