Yeah might have to order from select then and try again, would probably come out a lot better.

I used some Green Vinyl from them on my ARC 10" box.

That Vinyl was like 3 times tougher to bend/hold as the Select Products stuff...

Just a local fabric store, Joann Fabrics. Its the $16/yd stuff and its got a decent stretch to it. Not like the glossy cheaper tablecloth vinyl, that stuff doesnt have any stretch, imo, and I dont like the look of it.

It wasnt too bad, the vinyl was pretty damn tough and I might end up changing the layout on the other three doors and redoing that one. I would end up putting carpet where the vinyl is now, and Vinyl where the carpet is now, not sure how it would look, but it would take a fraction of the time.

For the vinyl I just used contact cement, and before I went to apply it I heated it up a bit with a heat gun. It was extremeley difficult to do around the control console and such where it is concave/convex as you had to stretch it a lot, but when you stretch it, it makes a different design in the vinyl (hard to explain)..but it took a lot of time and Im not 100% satisfied with the look. And Jonathan I do plan on painting those pieces, I think I'm gonna go with black.

Thanks for the responses guys, I will do a test with my idea of switching the vinyl and carpet on a back door and post some pics of how it looks and see what you think. I know it wont look as good but hopefully not too bad.

That looks nice, the dark color really makes it look nice.

It looks good man! Yea, so what'd you use, and how'd ya do it?

by Jonathan » Sun Oct 02, 2005 7:56 pm

I like that, very clean looking, much improved over the stock grey color. I'd paint the door lock, door handle cup, and the power window cups either black or a grey that's a shade more similar to the carpet you used.
