Default redo your interior for around $50

thought some of you guys might want to try this after you see and hear about it. okay, so i stumbled upon this vinyl paint stuff. and i went nuts with it. lol its like spray on leather, and i can tell you that the finish is 2nd to none depending on your spraying skills. ha! i got on google, and found a 70's style phoenix bird that i liked and printed it out. cut it out with a razor, and used it as a stencil for painting. other than that, you need a big role of masking tape. sorry about the sun, its strong. kinda makes the paint look orange.

Your going to regret using that spray can in a month or two when your interior starts looking like trash. And that sticker has got to go especially with a stock ls1!

You guys are hard! I would be afraid of getting that stuff printed on my back though. I like the birds, I am really loving the decal of the firebird on the rear window but not the lettering nor the message...

well durability was my one concern... but i dont think that will be an issue. going to have to see how the sun treats it. but wear and tear wise, this stuff seems to be made of rubber. crazy amount of flex agent. and the sticker was a gift from a friend who totaled his 00 artic white m6 WS6 he had it already made and ready to lay on the car, and wanted me to have it. so some sentiment there. but also i play mind games, i have the slp dual dual which is the quietest aftermarket muffler, then custom collector plates mounted right behind the headers with dual DHM e cutouts, so the sticker refers to a rev contest, even tho i dont drive many places where i see a car that could outrun me.

I don't mind the phoenix on the seat, but not a fan of it in red even if it matches the car. I don't want to say it, and I mean no disrespect, but it reminds me of this:

its just the speaker covers, door panel inserts, and seat inserts. ive seen it done ALOT. but never criticized.... i think looks like too much becuase the car is red also, which i am painting it silver in the fall. so that should help.

you guys think it would look alot better without the birds in the seats? ....i worked really hard on those...

So your friend with a white TA had a RED sticker done but he never put it because he totaled the car. Boy, you were lucky he chose red for his WHITE car!!

Okay....honestly, you need to stop and look hard at what you did. Its too much, painting the car silver would not help. This is an example were less is more.

Like I said, I mean no disrespect at all. That's just my sole opinion on what I think. It is really busy IMO. I think just the seats might have been okay, like this (Granted it's a Camaro):
