It came with the car. I would really love to replace it with one just like it. This one has seen some better days.

 

Looks good man! I like it

 

whats with the bird in the window i have seen that somewhere before

 

I got it from a Band's logo.

 

looks good but what i really really want is your rearview mirror!!!

 

I got mine for $20 at PepBoys. I see them all the time there whenever I go. I like the 'Ol School look of it.

 

What would you estimate your costs at so far? I'm seriously considering a full interior replacement via dealer/vb. The original stuff is nice, I just want it new.

 

more astonishing work. my hat's off to you, sir. i only dream possessing the skill, tools and patience for something like that. can't wait to see it all done. what would be even better would be to see it in person.

 

wow very nice, youve inspired me to add another thing to my car to do list good job

 

its from the band, bayside.
goood music, imo.

 

Yeah, so I finally got around to finishing them. Its just been a lot harder to work on my car since I moved from a house with a garage to an apartment with a parking lot. I need to get new door pull cups, but other than that they're pretty much complete.

 

inspirational!!!

 

Bout how much time and money would you say you've put into this?

I am thinking about redoing my interior eventually and was wondering how much it would cost me in teh short run.

 

Time HAHA!!! Well if I were to just count hours? I'd say about 24 hours of total labor. But then again, I'm trying to remember back when I first started how much time I put it.

Money? Pretty cheap actually. The Color Bond I used for the plastics and dash was pretty cheap, about $13 a can (I bought 4 total, and still have more than half can left). The prep cleaner for the color bond was cheap too.

I've got probably no more than $300 tied up in this black interior conversion/reupholstery. If you include the carpet, add $240 or so to that.

But long story short, if you were just reupholstering and not changing colors, you could get away with $200 or so I'd say.

 

based on that, I dont feel bad anymore. I spent appx $800 to re-do my 73 RX-3. New headliner, new carpet, door panels (all 4), rear deck lid, dash board and the back seat.
