Default Re: WRX interior swap

Need the answer to my question ASAP as I'm waiting on two separate WRX rear seat offers. One's $200 for the rear seats buy , and one's a rear seat swap + $200. I just don't know whether or not I need the floor carpet, the trunk carpet, or if the rear cabin wall passthrough dropdown is a separate piece altogether.

It took 4 paint bottles to do the door cards and rear blue section of seats and it looks alot better. I know some of you may think its a little ghetto to do it this way but I am happy with the results and it looks pretty nice. I do not recommend using the fabric paint on the front seats simply because they get the most use and the paint may come off.

Just another possibility although people prefer WRX swap. I think WRX material is alot cheaper and is not as nice as STI material.
I'm very interested in pics... How does the fabric feel after the application of this "paint"? Also, how will it wear on something like the doorcards where I might rest my arm once in a while??

I'm exctied - can't wait to see this option...

Hey AMG, PM an email address and I will send you all the pics I have... I can also give you step by step process. It took me about 2 hours to do all 4 door cards. The paint will stay on there and they are very soft to the feel. You will need at least 2 bottles to do the rear seats, but each bottle is cheap... 9 bux a bottle I believe. I guarantee someone else others will be interested since the material retains the STI feel and makes it even softer.

for those that did the wrx interior swap, are you guys worried about future resale values and loss of side airbags? What would insurance company say I wonder...

I am currently debating the swap/conversion as well

You can always trade back for +200 if you want later. That's the trade +cash going price now, which isn't a bad deal.

the swap is not hard at all. i did it in the dark with a flashlight (met up with the guy, told me he had good lighting...NOT) in like 3 hours. in the daytime it could probably be done in way less.
