So how did you go about wrapping the pillars in suede? Did you just use a spray adhesive or did you use some other method? I just can't see spray adhesive lasting very long... Reason I ask is that there are a few things I have been considering wrapping in suede in my car.
Thanks
3M has some spray adhesive called Hi-Strength 90. It will about hold your hand to your face permanently! the Super 77 is pretty good, but the 90 is Tony the Tiger!
plus you can buy real spray on carpet adhesive from most flooring places. Ive even heard of people rolling on thinned construction adhesive - that stuff will bond anything
EDIT:
Oh and by the way duke, very nice work!

Thanks, I did not even think about that. My buddy owns a carpet installation business so I can get that stuff for free! Good looking out!

well... got the seat brackets, catch can and yellow Laminx in today. Got the seat on the bracket and in the car! IT IS AWESOME!! Got the rear coilovers installed, need to do the fronts. Got the poly bushings I need to press in, so maybe tomorrow.... Slowly sanding and repainting the front bumper... Ill get some pics up... oh, got my boost gauge in, its in Limp mode
My new Cold Air Intake, got a K&N on the end of it
Race seat installed today...
The airbag back on with the new boost gauge.. i know you guys are jealous of my vise-grip shifter
Slowly sanding and painting the front bumper...
Out of a whim, decided to paint my wheels Satin Black, turned out ok
Kind of looks like a good size bolt in that left front tire. I'd hate to see that filter get a little too wet too.
In reply to DukeOfUndersteer:
The bumper is lookin good dude!
The black on the wheels looks a lot better too... even though you need spacers! haha
Oh and you should sell me that seat since it was made for my fat ass :D
