but what the heck do you do with the rear seat, lol.
I took my old cover off and put black vinyl on mine. Basicly looks like leather. (btw my camera sucks) For my carpet I bought carpet that is molded to the shape of my car, just like whats in there but its black. I'm redoing the headliner as soon as I can figure out how to get the damn rear view off. btw anyone know how that comes down, do I just pull on it?

i tried to take that cap off or whatever on my rearview mirror with a flathead but it seemed like it was gonna pull the whole thing off...i dont know it was just being a real pain in the *** and i didnt wanna break anything so i just gave up on it for now.

^ same as me, I pulled on it and the clips that the sunvisors go into to hold them in place and they have places where u can fit a screwdriver but they will not go anywhere. I think I just might pull on them hard. If they break I can just get some other ones from a civic getting parted out. I also can't figure out how I'm going to do my sunroof, or get my domelight off. Anyone know how that cover comes off?

Thanks, I will get it tomorrow because it is too dark now. Do you know how to get this clip off too? It seems like it spins a little so I dono if it screws off or if u just pry it.

not sure.......
my cars geting rained out outside for a rinse right now so cannt go look at it up close.LMFAO

but look for a little tab if its got like a small tab try to pop it off and see if thiers ascrew under it..... or after ya pull all the other panels see if the headliner will just drop....
it MAY just be screwed onto the headliner from the top.. but id think they would just be screwed to the actual roof....

I kind of like that smell, keeps me alert, lol.

Anyway, as for the vinal seat covers, Mobsta, did you just stretch it over the seat, or have it sewn in somehow, it looks pretty decent in that pic.

And I don't think i ever saw an answer to the painted surface maintanance. Once you paint stuff like vinal and etc.. How do you keep it treated, is armor all safe to use on them? Or will it kill the paint over time.

I am afraid over time heat will crack the dry painted surface, if it's not kept remarkably clean and treated.
