sandstone beige AKA old man tan lol, i gotta say its grown on me, at first i couldn't stand it much lol but now i'm kinda liking it, thinking about repainting my car and the thought of redoing it the stock color is becoming more and more common. we'll see though, for now its getting dipped all white or black, not sure yet.

i'm just checking on this thread everyday hoping there's a vid of this car running. good luck with it, still can't wait to see it lol.

Got my vinyl today for the door panels....and TT fan blade came in...

It is a lot closer of a match in person....The sun was affecting the color

I will be doing it this week....I picked up some DAP Contact Cement that I am going to use to get it to stick really good....For interior you need to make sure that adhesive has High Heat Resistence.
