Changing the shifter boot(s)

It says you can...I haven't tried it on fabric...seems kinda janky to me. But on plastic its fucking amazing.

I did my valence and grill internal pieces...the shit is tough.

 

Damn dude... I might have to peel the derp off tonight

btw - Whenever I use the word "janky" people here look at me like I'm a leper. Good to see it in use

 

haha...

 

And now you're taunting me with the 95-97 front end

j/k

Looks great man

 

Have you cleaned the vinyl dyed pieces yet?

I'm wondering how a 303 aerospace damped cloth would treat that paint?

 

thanks man....its patiently awaiting a 4XI bumper

 

I have only cleaned it with car wash stuff, I have never used 303 aerospace, so idk.

 

I'd be interested to hear how the interior plastic holds up to cleaning (eg 303 aerospace, etc)

 

If only you lived closer I'd buy your current bumper off you (if you were to sell it)

Gonna start collecting pieces to do a 95-97 front end swap

 

I would be willing to ship it if you would like. If I cant get anyone to buy it locally I can give you a good deal so the shipping wont kill the deal.

But shipping wouldn't be too bad because the bumper is relatively light.

 

Consider me interested and first in line

Thanks Jonathan

 

Just picked up a can of the Duplicolor Vinyl/fabric.

In the picture you posted on page one it looks like you went with the gloss finish, correct?

Is that what you used on your valence too?

 

yes, gloss is what I used.

 

How flexible do you think this paint/dye is?

I'm thinking about trying to paint my stock shifter boot(s)

Be honest... on a scale of 1-10,

1 being "dude, I can't believe you're that dumb to even think that's a good idea... I'll never post to you again"

and

10 being "wow man, that's the most brilliant thing I've ever heard, I will start a petition to have you become the new admin of the site"...

...where do you rate this idea?

 

Actually...10. It's a dye, so it soaks into the material. Shouldn't flake or crack.

I just finished putting my shifter cover back together, so I will snap a few pics here soon.

Didn't get a chance to paint my door handles yet because my girlfriend had me doing some BS today.

 

I got the whole center console and cup holder assembly, shifter trim, and transfer transfer case knob done today.

Drying in my garage.. it looks really glossy. I like the idea of glossy of keeping it clean with 303... but the flat black might look better IMO.

I'll have to see it all installed in the sun, etc...

 

I like glossy

Flat black looks ricer trashy IMO...

Every time I see a flat black anything I just cant help but think of that quintessential douchebag 1985 civic honda hatchback with flat black body parts and a "sweet" primer gray body kit. Lots of that around here

And when I get my bumper I will sell you the whole bumper/valence/turn signals. I also have a pair of corner lights I can throw in, as I replaced my stockers with clear ones.

The only thing is one of the corners has a very small crack, hard to notice, and the valence has some trimmed off the inside wheel well part to clear 35's when I bought the truck, but it doesn't look bed.

 

Note to self: if I go flat black, don't drive to FL

 

Yeah...lol...



kinda like that
