Good point! I guess it wouldn’t be bad idea just to get a sheet and leave it out in the sun all summer and see how it holds up and do some stress testing.

Speaking of upholstery, does anyone have recommendations to rewrap suede? I have a suede trim piece that has damage and needs to be rewrapped.

I think they make suede/alcantara with the adhesive backing for diy trim pieces.

Really? Do u remember the brand? Mould King was pretty good but they’ve shut down and came back as something else because they kept getting sued by lego hahaha

Random. I’m just an old school Simpson’s fan.

What the hoof?

hud 91gt 07-05-2024 11:32 PM

Depends what it is. Glue is used to hold pieces that don’t have stretch, or to conform to inside curves. I picked up some upholstery glue from this place a few years back. A couple white ladies working hard and sniffing fumes all day at this place. They use good products (I needed a tiny bit and it only comes by the gallon, he said bring a small container) lol.

Does anyone ever comment to you hey that’s a really nice Daihatsu ?

trollface 07-06-2024 02:49 PM

Do I look like a Daihatsu man to you.

Badhobz 07-06-2024 03:43 PM

yes?

JDMDreams 07-06-2024 04:21 PM

I'm thinking of being a Daihatsu man, the cars that the Japanese have been hording seems pretty interesting. Kinda want a copen. Hard top, turbo, and I think it hits 9000 rpm

Factory sun shades which will also act as an anti mosquito net if I ever go car camping.

bcrdukes 07-09-2024 07:09 PM

Ottinger!!!! :buttrock:

Not sure if factory colour matched, or just a very good AliExpress replica. :suspicious:

Regardless, looks sick. :fuckyea:

red kryptonite 07-09-2024 08:11 PM

looks good to me! did it come with the good 3m tape or some cheap garbage? i cant wait until all my aligarbage comes in lol

Badhobz 07-09-2024 08:26 PM

it came with the most garbage tape in the world that I just threw out. I used 3m VHB (very high bitch) tape and its on like a rock.

Like I said, aliexpress shit is hit and miss, but most of the time it'll surprise you. The quality, the shipping, the overall color match is quite good. What is absolutely amazing is the stinking price

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005...7d2f18025KxGAm

20 bucks for the wing, 40 dollars for shipping = 60 bucks to GET THIS ricey ass wing!? come on, who would say no to that?

Soon im going to get some side skirts, and front splitter from Ali and stick it on.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005...Cquery_from%3A

this looks decent for a front splitter.

bcrdukes 07-09-2024 08:30 PM

Oh man, you got ripped off. Looks cheap.
