Correct, but... there is a "was" in there lol. Once i started investing most of my money into the car I realized if i were to mess anything up I wouldn't have enough to fix it and it would sit. I think down the road i will try to accomplish the 9's once I have a bit saved up.

How did all the interior parts come out? Does it smell bad in the car now and does it chip off easily?

The parts came out great, once I have my car back home I will throw all the interior back in and take few pictures for everyone. They don't really smell, except for the fabric dye paint, that was a fail. Most of the fabric came out ruff color looked good and it did kinda have a smell to it.

Sounds good Rick, I look forward to seeing some of your SC's progress too.

Need more updates!

So you don't think the carpet dye is worth it? I was just going to buy all new black carpet from Lexus (like $700 I think) if the dye sucks.

I'm sorry i did more research when you asked, I purchased fabric paint. The leather though is dye spray on, fabric dye you use a trash can and leave your fabric in soaking for 12 hours. I will dye my carpeting and let everyone know how it goes.

As for update, i worked on a computer job all morning so i wasn't able to touch my car. I did though deliver all fabric pieces that are getting redone to the upholster, something funny there computer has a virus so i ended up bartering with them.

Lol nice, barter is the best way to save some cash! Let us know how the carpet dye works out, I don't really want to drop 7bills on some stock carpet!

the ritz dye works great but you will need to leave it in there longer than 12 hrs. the longer the better with a high concentration of dye to water ratio. if my trashcan didnt leak on me it wouldve only taken a week but two trashcans and 30 some what bottles of dye later the carpet looks oem.
