vlad_b Posted October 15, 2009 Author Share Posted October 15, 2009 Dash - wouldn't be that difficult to do, but I'm afraid to mess with airbag deployment. I'm thinking about instrument hood, but since it's not a separate part - you can't just wrap it. Some creative solution necessary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5throw Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 is that flat black paint? Duplicolor bumper paint correct? looks good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlad_b Posted October 16, 2009 Author Share Posted October 16, 2009 is that flat black paint? Duplicolor bumper paint correct? looks good. Yes. It's extremely close match to cupholder part and nav panel. It looks totally stock. So people who don't know - have no idea that's not how it came from the factory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get your car from Delta Subaru? Took me about 4 nights, few hours at a time. I live in Caledonia, and yep, got car from Delta. I was shopping for an Audi a4, when the salesman I knew said that I can get something much faster for less money. I glad I listened. Although some parts of the Suby interior always made me wish for better materials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark34 Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Nice job on this. The stereo and shifter surround look very nice. When you had the radio apart, is it possible to change the light colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you had the radio apart, is it possible to change the light colors? Yes, I've seen a walk-through on it somewhere here. The guy used colored film or something like that.

vlad_b Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Actually, I decided to go a step (or two) further and put alcantara on instrument hood. In order to do that proper, I need to create a mold of the hood, and then make a fiberglass copy of the surface. Than I'll wrap it in alcantara and put on top of existing hood. Lots of work. But shouldn't be that difficult. Fun fun fun. If it all goes well, the next step will be alcantara wrapped gauges pod on top of the nav! excellent! I dig it. I'm looking for some Alcantara to match my STI....I'd like to do the instrument hood and maybe the dash. Like the STI 'Carbon' model http://cache-05.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/12/2009/09/500x_subaru_wrx_sti_carbon_3.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BAC5.2 Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Did you do the instrument hood?

vlad_b Posted July 20, 2010 Author Share Posted July 20, 2010 Did you do the instrument hood? No. I tried to make a mold from my own panel using drying clay, but it deformed too much after drying. And I can't find a salvage panel to make a real good mold, and I don't have money to waste on buying a brand new panel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue GT Posted July 20, 2010 Share Posted July 20, 2010 Interior looks terrific! Not a huge fan of the spec B blue but considering I only have a GT, black Alcantara might be a nice alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
