Looking for cheap/simple tricks for making my interior look better. I have no interior carpet or trunk and wondering if there are any better ideas for replacing other then buying new or used carpet. can i use replacement carpet in a roll from auto zone? I would really like to change the color of my door panels and such but don't know if i should try an order custom or use the dupli-color spray on vinyl paint for dash and door panels because of scared of it flaking and chipping or rubbing off. I have seat covers for now but anyone know of a cheap-ish/ effective way to reupholster them? Thanks for the help!

Re: Interior

Cheapest way to upholster seat is to learn to sew/sow. Thanks to work letting work with my upholstery guy I learn to upholster seats easy. I am probably gonna do pictures in the summer vacation of my upholstering my rear sedan and hatchback seats. You can also go to the junkyard and pull off the carpet if its in great condition. Why get the cheap/shitty autozone carpet. As for the dash painting I suggest you remove the dash use soap and sponge and clean the hell out of it. Use gloves to not leave any oil prints and primer it before you paint it. I have my rear speaker panel painted in my sedan if you want to see before and after pics.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Sew, in this case.....



But since I found this pic, I'll continue LOL
Sow, like a female pig...


Or planting seeds.
Reaping what they sow
or something like that.
