The Transformation of and Road to My VIP G35 Sedan
Looks good bro, but how come not just get it wrapped in suede?? Would have been more of a "VIP" direction than spray painting it. Though with this economy i can understand if it was a $$ issue.

I wanted to see how it would look first in black, decided i like it so i'm going to be wrapping it. Not in suede though because I don't like suede.
Also from a few posts after the pics I posted....

Hmmmm, didn't think about that.
I decided that since I like the black I got a few options for wrapping the interior pieces. One of them is this black cloth with little rhinestones which would match the swarovski crystals. It looks sorta like a sky light. Pillars I might go with velour or leather. Carpets I'll be doing in mink type of fabric, although I did think of that for the headliner. I'm up in the air about it.

I decided to keep the skirts for now, so not for sale at the moment.
Yeah man I'm torn between the mink and the glittery sh*t since it matches the crystals. Velour is sooooo nice too. If you have a Joanne's Fabrics near you, check it out. There is a TON of material. There's a few more that I like that I'm still considering but the 2 i mentioned are at the top of my list right now.

I finally finished the deadening on the driver side door. Door panel BARELY snapped in place. What a huge difference it's made. No rattling at all. Gonna work on the passenger side next sometime this week or next.
If i'm not lazy, I'll do the OEM integration and hook up the amps, but imma do it through the back of the head unit. I may end up goin to a local shop (Amplified Motorsport) and have them do it.
Possibly next week I'll work on the interior some more, just need materials so I can wrap the headliner and pillars. Gotta paint some other pieces. Gonna wrap the carpets too possibly.
Test fitted the Wald sides and they def need some work on fitment. Debating whether I should do a custom rear bumper or wait for a vendor to come out with one. I already did a photoshop of what i want and i really dig it, but i'm lookin at 700-1k before paint

Yup, i'll be there, not with the G tho. You goin?
It is quite a bit, but I'd be buying 2 bumpers and then meshing them together. I first gotta find out if the shape of the bumper that I want is somewhat similar to the G's.

No, decided against the quad fogs. I'm either going to do single fogs or go with non-projector fogs. Still up in the air about it. Since I'm nowhere near painting the bumper I haven't given it much thought. Right now the bumper is just sitting on the ground near the washing machine n' dryer.
