Everything looks great! I like the black and yellow combo, gotta see the brakes when finished.

The yellow stitch job looks great.

Quick370z · 04-08-2013, 04:34 PM

in for pix

the stitching you used a pen? or..

TaylorRyan370 · 04-08-2013, 04:41 PM

I used a fabric marker from JoAnn Fabrics

Infamous · 04-08-2013, 05:02 PM

Did the color bleed into the seats or any of the other areas you dyed with the pen?

TaylorRyan370 · 04-08-2013, 05:05 PM

No. I mean I can't tell since yellow doesn't really show up on black.

Infamous · 04-08-2013, 05:08 PM

Cool. What was the brand of marker you used?

TaylorRyan370 · 04-08-2013, 05:15 PM

Uchida fine tip fabric markers. I tried the sharpie brand fabric markers and the yellow was too green.

TaylorRyan370 · 04-10-2013, 12:54 AM

Love getting parts in the mail

Also swapped the rear amber turn signal bulbs with chrome ones. Getting to the lights was such a pain in the

. Whoever decided the whole trunk needs to come out to access them needs to be fired lol. Looks much better though.
