If for any reason you scrap your car... Pm me lol.

Btw thanks for letting me know that. Im off to the internet to find a suitable spray can paint that will work in the high temp area of my car... the motor. Id love to do a blue or something to match my future features under the hood...

Haha... Im actually going to be doing my headliner soon! I cant wait!
I might do it myself. Would be a good experience.
Plus 20$ suede from joann fabric, and 30$ of 3m spray glue!

Plus theres a write up or two around the site.

Oh haha, You should check out the Repair database. Comes in handy!
