Pretty sure Auto Explosion just does good prep and automotive paint. For the pieces that can't come out of the car very easily like the tensioner, plastic paint is what caskyline uses and he doesn't have any flaking on his stuff. Same thing for the rubber trim around the moonroof, good prep and good paint conditions and it should stick right.

hello, I'm back in school now so can't update with the final pics, but everything turned out really nice, the paint isn't coming off anything, the fabric is still holding on, the extra sound deadening worked out great and the car is surprisingly more quiet...radio sounds better too ( kinda surprised about that ) and the suede is holding up great.
MartyG35 : That looks like great work, keep us updated.
as far as the seat tensioner rubbing off, if you use the vinyl and fabric paint like I used, it works well as far as seeing the texture of the plastic underneath and looks basically stock, overall great but it will rub off in certain spots where the belt goes through with its edge, not the flat part of the belt, but only the edge. However this is not an issue since there is a very very simple solution...and its called a sharpie ..it doesn't come out no matter what you do to it and its great to touch up those little spots from the edge of the belt, so in essence I wouldn't worry about the seat tensioner. It shouldn't be a problem.
Also i did the sun visor sliding pieces with the same vinyl pain, and its holding up great, no scratches, no pealing, nothing coming through.
Anyone that does this thou, def. def. make sure you get fabric that stretches.

thanks but I already have suede interior setup for my G for quite some time. This is what I picked up for another member I think John (speedraver) has pics of my interior setup.
