I been passing this idea back and forth in my head... and I can not decide whether or not I should gut my black interior on my FD or not....

I know if I do part out, i can make some good money off it.. because my interior is a 9/10.


Basically if I do go for it. I would plan on removing

• Black back carpet
• Black side panels
• Front black carpet
• headliner
• bins
• and more..

I would only keep my dash, door panels and seats..


But I dont know if I should..


I love not having interior, less things to worry interior wise as well...( ive always gutted my FC interiors).


but Idk..


Btw, i plan on driving my fd 3-5 times a week and tracking it for the most part.


so if you have gutted interior, let me know how it is, and if you have full interior.. all chime in..

thanks

Are you retarded?

 

There is a fine line between form and function!!! Lets say that you plan on tracking the car and are leaning toward minimalist-function-weight as a focus then gut the hell out of it(make some money while you're at it).
The other side of the line is once you start gutting out the interior of a nice FD and plan on daily driver the beast, you are in that "ghetto WTF, that **** looks like ****(IMO)" category.

If your sole purpose is to get some money out of your FD to fund her in order to get the FD on the road, I think that you are making a poor choice in the matter-(IMO).


Once you start gutting any car for the wrong reasons other than for functional reasons, i believe that you are indeed making a poor decision.

Best of luck........

P.S. ---------------------------------GET a ******* JOB Jaime

 

I gutted the whole interior before. The hatch plastics, divider, rear panels, bins, head liner, sunroof motor, door panels, kick panels, hatch carpet, etc. Only things that were left was the dash, tranny tunnel, cabin carpet and seats.

All the stuff I removed weight in at 53 lbs and I bet the sunroof motor was the majority of that so what I am trying to say is that it is not worth gutting the car and keep everything. The bins come in handy

 

just a bit

LOL thank you Mike, I appriciate your insight on this. I honestly do not care for interior, its something that is i never cared for...

BUT then again a fd with nice black interior is always niiice.

also i plan on getting a full cage in the fd... so idk if it would make a difference etc...


and ive been trying... the last 2 replys ive gotton for applying have been bad.. lol

im a liability due to my carpel tunel in both wrist.. lol




lol,, i got a base model,, no sunroof for meh lol.. hmm you guys have giving me alot to think about...

 

Do it!

As long as you tuck in all the wires and make it clean.

I wanted to gut out the S14 but it has custom interior.

 

haha you know it... full wire tuck with battery relocation to the rear . and full cage

 

I'd say do it... if you like gutted interiors roll it...

I like interior...

 

as long as you do it clean it will look sick...im talking about taking out all of tar crap...and respraying everything for a reallllllllly clean look.

im in the process of doing mine like that...

 

yea, i like the fact its clean. but its not my forte.. i like not having interior lol






thats exactly what i plan on doing.. did you use dry ice to remove it?

i was planning on paiting everything either black or white...

 

I bought my car with no interior, took me ages to find a tidy interior to put in!

Take it out and see if you like it. If not, stick it back in

Personally I would keep it.

 

If you do take it out i say paint it black.

 

well i did gut out my rear interior, i liked it lol...


thats what i was leaning towards

 

Cleaned and repainted it could look really sick, especially if you put in a cage!

 

yup. dry ice and some chizzles and your good...takes a good while. you can get them at Albertsons, 2 blocks should be enough. the ones on the edges are a bitcchhh to get too and will need to be grinded off...Personally I would paint it the same color as your car...It looks a lot cleaner when everything matches (inside and out) doing a different color inside (engine bay, gutted interior) is really honda-tech'ish...something you would do to a swapped eg, ek, etc....

 

thanks for the tip... well since im going to get the car painted soon, i might as well get the inside painted..


so white on white it is.. with a pink roll cage

 

hahah pink would look hard. i got mine done in Cranberry...

 

^^ that looks great!!!!!! got any more pics of it???

 

gut it and give it to me.

 

ill sell it to you


im actually in the process of taking out my interior

 

^Ill buy ur rear divider if u wanna sell it?
