Gimmick STI is now the Import Image STI...Beware of massive power gains. ;) - Page 14

Nice, I want to do my headliner, but I have heard and actually seen that after awhile of the suede on the headliner, since its sooo heavy, it starts to sagg and drop. Anyway this can be corrected? Reason being that the heat kills the glue and it starts to loose grip and drop.

Gimmick · 07-09-2006, 07:31 AM

I have a couple of diff glues Im going to be using, key is the prep work before wrapping. If you do that well you'll get good contact.

Ultimatly only time will telll, by the time it starts to sag i may not have the car anymore.

**IMPORTIMAGE** · 07-17-2006, 01:41 PM

looks good, i like the forge tanks...bling bling

Gimmick · 07-19-2006, 05:30 PM

OK, got my " under hood bling" installed

Forge polished aluminum coolant resevoir (you can see) and P/S resevoir (you cant really see) and installed my new 63mm intake/maf adapter/velocity stack. Wow, the new intake really woke the car up and made the tuning alot easier. Cant wait to get back to the track...

Also, suede and dying of interior parts is almost done...

Still have to finisah trimming and glueing the headliner.

Also, Ill post pics of my JDM Spec C mesh grill when it gets here next week.

pimp status

but you already out blinged anyone in with the v mount

EastSTi · 07-19-2006, 05:49 PM

cant wait to see the finished interior

Gimmick · 07-19-2006, 05:54 PM

Theres never enough bling LOL

The interior will hopefully go back in tomm night, for the most part, then the guy who is buying my sti seats and door panels will be picking that up this weekend, Ill be rolling with a 93 legacy sport driver seats for a week or so till the new stuff gets here

Chris05STi · 07-19-2006, 06:30 PM

Nice.....I want to dye the headliner plastic parts too and the sides like you...whats the procedures?? You think that Headliner will hold during the summer and not droop? I soo want to do that, btw, they don't make black headliners for the WRX do they? Would that fit our car? Also, and finally...where did you get the tanks from? They look great!

Gimmick · 07-19-2006, 06:41 PM

Tanks came from Import Image

No black headliner available.

This should hold up OK. I did a pretty good job of gluing it and the material is light so it should hold. I plan to insulate between the roof and headliner just to try and reduce heat in the car anyway. But we will see.

**IMPORTIMAGE** · 07-23-2006, 08:24 AM

Looks like your sti took a back seat this weekend. Well the inside of your car looks more like a race car then anything else

XSblack's Rotated mount GT series install looks great! I was surprised how fast you had everything together for the first time doing one. But hey...you are the subaru master, so what else should we have expected.

Gimmick · 07-23-2006, 12:40 PM

Ok, got all the cusom suede stuff and black dyed parts in the car and did a lightweight interior mod as well...

Lightweight interior...

No, its not staying gutted, the guy who bought the stock STI interior just got here before the new interior...

Im rolling with a legacy sport seat right now, which actually gives me 2 inches lower seat position that i love...

Grgwrx · 07-23-2006, 06:51 PM

The head liner looks great in person. I would run a gutted interior all the time with one race seat but I'm sure thats really not your style. I think the prodive sport seat would look great and break up the all black with just a little blue i'll try to find a link to the pic.

agentmaxwell · 07-24-2006, 01:32 PM

what product did you use to dye the plastic interior pieces?
