Wood grain no more!!

Ok folks, well i joined not to long ago. and i recieved a few comments on the wood grain in the ride. I dont like it either, so i decided to do something about it. Ive already taken care of my center bezel, and i painted it white.

Here's updated pic.


Now I got another problem. There are wood panels on my door. And they dont come off.

Sooooo...... should i paint them, or should i put a carbon fiber type sticker over the wood grain area. Heres a pic for reference.




So what you think, Look at the wood grain area on the door.

White or Carbon Fiber?????


Thanks
Justin

carbon fiber it.

nice, looks way better without wood

yah carbon fiber the doors

I figured u guys would say that, so i went ahead and got the stuff. Im in the process right now.


I also got a project involving the door handles and leds. Nothing new for the big glowers but something new for me.


Thanks for the comments, and please keep them coming.

Justin.

where did you get the carbon fiber stuff at?

discount auto parts. Its sold in a roll., like a 20" x 48" roll.

decent quality and fairly thick too.

Looks a lot better without the wood...nice work...

Im sure we will see pics when you carbon it...

I was gonna say paint it white since everything else is white...btu carbon will work too...

Good work and keep it up!

you got a website for that carbon fiber rolls?

the carbon fiber stuff is pretty cheap if i remember right..comes in a roll and you have to cut it

good job, the white looks good btw

There's gotta be a way to take those door inserts out... Take the door panel off and look from the back. Send a pic of it and maybe I can figure it out.

i believe it is gonna be the plastic rivots that are melted on. If so I could always just slice off the melted part and use a very fine screw and drill bit and make the rivot a screw hole instead.


So what you think WHITE OR CARBON FIBER?

I still have yet to do anything, so holla at me.

Justin

I say color changing paint, that duplicolor stuff is damn sweet when you take your time when you do it.

Ok, so by the posts its 2 vs. 2 and 2 i cant tell . soo.. Please use the poll now.

Thanks again

EL wire around which trim piece, the center bezel or the door piece? I plan on doing the cracks in the door panel in EL wire, but after i get it painted.

If i EL wire the center bezel then i wouldnt be able to take off the dash/radio/indash. That bezel there covers most of the screws holding the dash together, also my switch panel......

speaking of



Im such a post/pic *****.

Loving the response on the site. Thanks for all the love.

Justin

NOTE: IF YOU LOOK HARD YOU CAN SEE MY SODA CAN ASH TRAY. SORRY BUT I CAN BE GHETTO!!

LOL^

I was talking about the door panels. Throw some EL wire on the door panels...

dude you should do some carbon fiber on some spots on the white inserts youve done. just to offset it

6-white
2-carbon

Carbon Fiber

how about white carbon fiber...

^^ unfortunately they do not carry the white carbon fiber. Only the gray.

A new choice has arissen though.

What about chrome? I could make them a nice and shiny chrome to match the door handles

I would put CF on there just because there is enough white in there to kill my eyes...but nice job thus far!

then find somewhere else to buy it so that you can get white carbon fiber in there.

DJ how about quick chops of white and carbon fiber?????

canadian tire sells it
