Finally got the front seats in , door panels are done and in , dash and gauge cluster redone all in blk vinyl and blk suede ! Just need the rear seats and headliner and my daily driver is closer to feeling like a new ride !

 

Nice, looks mint. Wish I didn't live in the rust belt.

That's a beauty. How did you make the TRD emblems? You sure pay attention to detail.

 

Lookin good!!

 

Thanks bro , as for the b-piller emblems I popped out the factory 4runner emblems and cut out a .5mm piece of carbon fiber and sank it in the same location that the 4runner emblems where and then placed the trd special edition emblems I got from the dealer and placed it on top of the carbon fiber piece looks clean , the trd emblem is. From the trd fj cruiser trd model. Thanks for noticing the small details !

 

Nice work, looking good. How did you get all of your interior plastic so clean? My interior is the gray color and its a bit faded/dirty/stained from things over the years. Did you paint it with some interior paint?

 

Thanks man, yeah I took every piece of plastic off and very lightly sanded it then scrubed with dish washing soap warm water, then wiped down with wax and grease remover then 3-4 coats of adhesive promotor , 3 min. In between coats , then waited 30 min. Then sprayed 3-4 coats of sem interior paint (satin black) with 10 min. In between coats and turned out solid the whole process took me a couple weeks with work and all but worth it.

You should post the "IMG" link for your pics. Not all of us can view that stuff...damn govrn' computers: WEBSITE BLOCKED

 

Does sound like a lot of work, but looks worth it. If you dont mind me asking, what type of interior paint did you use? id really like to do something like this but im afraid it wont stick well and ill end up in an even worse situation

 

I used sem paint products made for plastic ( interiors ) I also used spray adhesive promotor before the paint went on. It's about $15 a can I used around 8-9 cans.

 

I hope your seats don't get too hot! lol. But looks sweet!

 

Actually the funny thing is I had the upholstery shop put in electric seat warmers , cause my heater don't blow hot air to well. I have a hi/low button for each seat mounted on the shifter trim piece to control temp.

 

Daymn! That's posh! LOL! Looks good!
Next project should be theft deterrent
