Importfest is always a one day thing from noon to midnight. It's gonna be way, way better this year than last year. Last year sucked because it was in December. This year it will be great. Saturday is supposed to be beautiful, so expect the dome to be open. Can't wait.
how did you do it...is it new material or did you dye the old stuff????
hey i should get in on this....I'll paint anyones engine bay, valve cover, battery shroud and tie down, fuse box, prop rod, caps....anything you can pull out i can paint....choice of like 6 colours. You too could have the "too clean to race" look.
Dont know what a fair price would be...the paint and primer i used is like $30 for the whole project??? So i dunno..what is it worth

Me and Braden did the one side (passenger side) and I did the driver's side by myself. Time consuming and a pain in the *** none the less but turned out very well.
What we did was take the whole door apart, pull the existing fabric off then re-fabric the area over.

Hey Dude! Welcome to the club.... none of us have 7thgencivic stickers on our cars but we do have "www.LondonAutoClub.org" stickers on our cars.
Check out the website and sign up to the board. You should come out to one of our meets and hang out.

I really like that DIY guys!
I think I'd like to do that with a really simple colour but it may not look right with my seats. Hey Braden, you should do it in leather or something to match those new seats! haha.

Hey 02civic, i'll give ya $40 if you paint some of my engine accessories. I don't need the battery tie down or the oil cap painted either. How does that sound?

Oh and how about $50 cause the paint and primer is like $30 and it took me about 3 hours to do with having to varsol everything, prime-dry, prime-dry, prime-dry, paint-dry...etc...
i did really, really thin coats of paint so that it would keep the texture and there wouldnt be any spotting.....7 coats paint + 3 coats primer =

peices that could be done
all caps inc. oil cap and gas cap
battery shroud
positive battery terminal cover (the red thing)
fuse cover (box is a pain to get out)
valve cover
oil dip stick
prop rod
battery tie down
heat shield (that would be a bit more cause the paint is more $$ and its a different primer)
