What do people think?

Looks good, but maybe more suited to a prototype, or zillion dollar exotic, but hey go for gold it its what you want!
Atleast the woodgrain part is easy, I've got it in my TH sports and its only a few hundred bucks.

you can get woodgrain professionally done for the same price as a dash kit at dashboardcentre.com.au they also do dash re-skinning. dont get that ugly black border and it looks factory. they got samples you can look at and heres a pic of a console next to genuine Verada. you pick how dark/red the colour is.

Nice., can the do the inside of the cupholders and that though ?

not sure cause they blacked it so it doesnt scratch. heres a pic of the window switch. notice no black border at the buttons or edges.

Definetely the PHATNESS!

That's a definite winner man! All you'd need is a big set of rims and some serious dumpage.. and you're set.. after that.. it's performance.. somethin to scare those exotics!

SuFz :rant:

So does anyone else have any experience with vinyl spray die, prefferably 3rd gens but any will do.

If so post Pics and helpful info.

YES I HAVE EXPERIANCE!

well, a little :redface:
i got some septone "plastic and vinyl dye" and am spraying my seats as we speak.

GRDPuck will have a little shock when he see's his old seats a tottaly new color. lol

it is a piece of pi$$ to do.

clean area to be sprayed, and spray, just like you would any other can of paint, let dry for about 10-15 minutes and do another coat. repeat until you get the desired finish

i got a few more coats to do, so ill post up piccys tomorrow when there all dry.

i have to say the end result is pretty amazing and after only a minute or 2 the dye has set in hard.

i didnt even try it out on a scrap piece first, which was lucky becuase so far so good!

Here's a tip, if you goto all that trouble, add power windws!!

yeah i was thinking that ey

Personally, I think the red and black spoil it...they just don't match with the rest.

Make sure you choose the right woodgrain to match the cream too. (that's provided you are actually serious about getting this done for real).

Besides that, should look real classy

it looks great, but i think it may be one colour too busy. i like the burgandy carpet, but i think that would be the easiest colour to lose. the cream and the woodgrain are definite keepers and the instrumentation is black (at least now), so i'd go with the carpet. just my opinion, still looks great as it is.

so black carpet you reckon ?

ive also got white dials in there at the moment which i would maybe be taking out depending on how it looks.

im actually not entirely convinced about the black inserts i just not sure wat other colour to do them ? should i do them cream ?

yeah, the inserts are tricky. the only alternative i see is a brown to match the woodgrain, but i think that would be too hard to get looking right. i think the black works considering how much there already is in a magna.

yeah its gunna be really tricky to get it all looking co ordinatedd
and shmick

im getting the burgandy carpet coz i like that, and then the leather seat covers. so my only dilema is weather to get all cream, or cream with an insert ?>
from that i will colour match the dash and doors and pic a nice reddy brown woodgrain.

The black with cream makes it look budget imo...

All cream is nice but I'm not sure what other colours you would consider if you still wanted 2 toned seats.

Before it gets trimmed, just hold a sample over the area to be covered to see if it looks alright and also put samples of each different coloured material next to one another to see if they go together.


Make sure you take your digital camera and laptop with you so we can see pics while it's still fresh. :cool:

haha sure, i was thinking about breaking up the cream with another colour
maybe i should just go perforated creme leather for the inserts. it would look kinda different because the different texture.

YES!! do that, would look much better than another colour insert.. perforated leather looks nice, but only do where the black inserts would be (the middle part of the seat) dont do the boulsters or headrests, would look crappy

I like it very much, maybe black carpet would match the seats and inserts better

How much would all this cost??

to be honest looks crap but thats from the chop mite look ok in real tho

nice job, could call it the "Exceed" model! nice chop!
I reckon it would look sweet as in real life.
