Did some interior beautification.
My son likes to get out my car like it's a slide and there are visible scuff marks. I ordered Thenice doorsill protectors and they're awesome, easy installation! Also installed my faux button decals by everything.vinyl and Type R Steering wheel emblem by J's Racing. Everything was based off member reviews....I appreciate yall. :thumbsup:

A few months ago I stumbled across this post about applying fabric protector. The OP's results were impressive (as evidenced by the video clips in that thread). Bought some 303 Fabric Guard and finally had the chance to apply it today.

I followed the directions in that post, "painting" the material with a foam brush in a criss-cross pattern.

I applied the 303 to the center armrest and both front seats. Plenty left for the back seats, if/when I get around to it.

The OP of that thread had a CTR, so I'm not sure if I should expect the same results on my non-alcantara seats. However, I do have the CTR's center armrest, so at worst, that area should be sufficiently protected. The 303 is drying now - I'll test the fabric tomorrow. Just with water, because I'm not brave enough to dump coffee on it.
Following up on my earlier post: after letting the 303 cure undisturbed for a week, I decided to test it today. I'm impressed:


Water behaves like mercury...it beads up & rolls around. Presumably any other liquid would behave the same way. Hopefully. I'm not going to test it. At least, not intentionally.

this looks so good! How/where did you get those covers? Installation process?

I like them a lot. Bought them here. Installation wasn't hard, it took me a little while getting the hooks connected underneath the seat but it wasn't bad. They do a great job staying in place and don't slide much at all if you install it correctly. I had a red theme in my mind for the interior at the time, but I think i'm gonna tone it down a bit. I'll be ordering a black carbon fiber/alcantara steering wheel soon.

Well...I suppose it was just a matter of time. I couldn't put it off forever.

Bought the car on the last day of February. 86 days later, I made my very first visit to a gas station.

oh dope, did you have to take them off to do it or just tape up around them?
Just tape up around them, super easy. The trick for me with plasti dip, is peel it the next morning, it goes easier imo.
