But my problem is that i need em to be orange. Like theese:

bout $100 differance, although i would like the Bomz seats, but i gotta save that extra hundred bucks if i can. lol. Anyways, Point is, everything in my ride is being done orange and black (except for the lighting) How would i go about getting rid of the red and putting orange instead?

I have an idea of bleach painting, then dyeing, but what brand would be ideal? Is there another way to go about doing this?

6'3" 200lbs isn't big enough? As for the rest of that statement - thanks
You know we're just messing with you - can't give a compliment like the one above without bringin you back to reality with a lil verbal bitch slappin

Back to topic: Get yourself some seats [like either of the ones above] that look right already. Then go to the cloth store and get some cloth that matches and do your door cards [easy mod and I want to do mine too so we can make a day of it]. Then we'll find some paint that will match and start adding accents. I think Griffgirl has a link to spray paint with various colors available and I know a parts store that has probably 100 diff shades of high heat engine and caliper paints - all of them $5 a can. I think it's best if you find the high heat paint first as it'll be the hardest to color match if you buy other stuff first.
That would look truly sweet.
Sorry - not trying to plan your car out for you - I'm just really stoked about the transformation of your car.
Anybody have a spare door card that I can use temporarliy to make a template?

Really though, I've know of dye's work for fresh fabric, provided that it's white; That's how we did it on the VC's rides... that's why i was asking about bleach.

Door cards, the fabric piece in the doors? i was actualy wanting to pull those off and look into fabricating a speaker port there... Plus i still gotta figure what parts i'm oranging out and what parts i'm not.

Calipers do need paint... plus i still gotta put some more silicone grease on that front driver break pad, it's gotten squeeky... Prly just needs grease...

Need rims, i've got some pretty rotors, and gunna paint the calipers, and still rolling on factory alloy. LOL!!

h8t to burst your buble but do you have the seat brackets or are you going to customize them yourself I too wanted to do this until I found out about the seat brackets

Seat brackets? I was talking about making seat covers for the existing back seats. or removing them all together and adding the baby "drifter" seat in the center (secured to the frame of course) and Glass in sub enclosures on the sides. For a Convert, that'd be sweet. Then i could have my trunk back

You want to add buckets into your back seat? That could be done easily enough, but i wouldn't recommend it. Those buckets are WAY to big to be stuffing in the back seat.

Go do some measuring first, then measure again. And if you still wanna do it; then i'll tell ya how.
