I got a 60" x 48" sheet so I could have some for other pieces, but a 48"x 48" sheet will cover it.

Well I guess it wasn't what I had done for my Z today, but over past 2 days I've gotten Ichiba 20mm Front and 25mm Rear spacers installed, and swapped out LEDs to 6k High Powered.

https://my350z.com/forum/body-interi...plate-led.html

Very pleased with results. LEDs are super bright at night.

Installed 8000k D2s too, but got some cheap Chinese 8000k from my cousin and one of them kept flickering. So right now I'm rolling 8000K and stock. Ordered some Garax 8000k D2S [LINK] shortly after. Going to get them installed this weekend. Hopefully weather gets cooler in TX cuz working on the car in 110F inside a garage is

Finally decided to get the quarter panel painted after a landscaper launched a rock from a mower. Paintless dent removal would not have done the job.
Hope to have it back in 2 weeks.

Vinyl wrapped some interior parts and exterior door handles, installed my Polk Audio front speakers. Modified my speaker grills to allow optimal sound output.

Well done, Pizza!

Your approach is a great example of, "less is more"! Just enough to have a theme goin' on, but not enough to overdo it.

I replaced the center cubby because the crappy 3-year old plastic locking mechanism broke on it. I also put on a new driver's side arm rest because I got sick of looking at all the peeled rubber paint.

Thanks all. I did it all myself. Its pretty easy. I think the hardest part was taking off all the parts to wrap. Just followed a few DIY on here and had it finished in no time.

Do you have any more pics of these speaker grills. I feel like I should do the same thing, since I can't seem to get my mids to sound good enough. Does the fabric follow the same curve as the original grill, or did it make a flat surface?

I tried doing the fabric over the cut-out speaker grilles and it made hardly any difference in the overall sound quality. In the end, I actually ended up buying another set of factory grills and put everything back to normal. In my opinion, it's not worth doing, and you put your woofers at risk of damage since there's nothing between you and them but a flimsy piece of fabric.

You should take the grills off (it's easy to do. You don't even have to remove the door panels - they pop right off) and have a listen with and without them on. You'll see what I mean when you try it.

Dropped it off at a body shop where I got my windows tinted. They are going to help me buff out the key marks from my poor car. Got her that way =/
