    I'm sorry, I am certain you have a lot of time and effort in it but it looks butt.

    Explain what exactly looks butt? I can't see any noticeable flaws in this work.

    Should try wrapping your visors, grab handles and seat belt holders. Or go with black ones so they fit in better.

    It probably looks good, but the pic quality doesn't help it any.

    Hatin' on the plaid man that's all.
    I can appreciate the amount of work you put into this, especially considering I'm going to be doing this this weekend. Although I'll probably just do straight black since I may be selling my car in a year or two for something with less miles.

    But definitely a good job

    i used walmart 3m adhesive, but with how hot it's been around here its starting to fall down a little. i might redo it with a different design.

    and good luck factoryboost, its quite a task... hope all goes well.

    Thank you!

    And I heard the 3M Super 90 adhesive is the best stuff to use. The 77 works for most but I saw many recommendations for the 90. And I might wait until the temp is out of the 90+ zone and not 50% humidity. It'll probably go better if I'm not getting all frustrated from the heat.

    i think i have 77 general adhesive. im pretty sure i used 90 when i did the headliner on my saturn, and that held up until it went to the junkk yard
