Seat Mod

[-=Jeff=-]

got one done. It is not perfect and i may buy enough to do a 3rd back to replace this one later if the stuff holds.

I will work on the other one later and I have a couple things to try to make it a bit better

Seats weigh 23.1 lbs each. They are 95 base seats with no tracks

Do the seats you weighed have any electronics in them?

I will have to take one of my 1991 seats out weigh them,seem to be about the same weight, just can't remember what they weigh.

Just the recline motor. Not typical in the 94 though

Looks really good. I have no ability to work with stuff like that at all.

Everyone I know who has used that stuff on their dash has had issues with it.

It could have been application method, material, etc., they all just seem to look bad in a short period of time.

I have a local guy that does all my cf panels for me (the hood, doors, bumper, targa top, hatch, fenders on my supra were all done by him) that I can pass you onto. I am thinking about having him do my gto fenders, inner fenders, hood, door skins, trunk lid, and endura front end in cf to save a bit of weight off this pig. I do not like the way bare cf looks, so I paint it all and nobody would know the difference anyway.

It will be interesting to see how these overlayment it holds up over time.

Can he make cf hood for my Z and how much?

Pete

[todesengel]

Pete

im sure he could, but he is not cheap. I will call him tomorrow and get a price. He may need an original though. He always takes my cars when he fabs the panels, but the fit is impeccable.

iirc the last time he made cf panels for me (this was on a mk3 supra when there was nothing available for them in cf) the hood, fenders, door skins, hatch, targa top cost me about 5k. This was a few years ago though.

What do you think?

What's not perfect about it?
What are you trying to make it better?
Looks good in the picture.
I'm thinking about using this for my console:cheers:

my main issue was the corners around the top. There are streaks in it, the second panel I started with the top and worked my way down.. much better.

I still have a couple issues where I pressed a bit hard with heat and bunched/damaged the vinyl. they are fingernail sized but still there

I am happy with these, however, I probably should have done some smaller items first to get a better feel for applying the vinyl. I have enough to do my console and radio bezel, although being a 1990 and those pieces being gray metallic not sure how the black CF look will 'look' in the car. I will use a non ZR-1 radio bezel to try and just drill a hole for the key.

Here is a pic of one done and one not done..

I'd love to see what the console and instrument bezels would look like in this stuff.

I need a Radio Bezel but I think I have a console. not sure how easy the gauge bezel would be to do

[sammy]

the seat backs sure look awsome , but allways thought that the radio bezel and gauge bezel would look great if they were done in the turned aluminum like the 74 trans am firebirds were done .jmho

OMG! What a thought. I loved the 2nd Gen TransAm IP.

I liked that look as well it was like a rainbow prizim hue aluminum IP. I forgot about those.

[sammy]

darn , now i guess i have to find where i can get that vanier. anyone got any ideas . i have long thought that it would really make our interior look very classy

I got my stuff from http://www.carbonfiberfilm.com
