Headrests are not that hard to put in. Like Ryan said you need patience. I fed a banana shaped bit of wire down the back of the seat. Some times you get it first go other times I just want to throw tools. And if you unzip the seats and undo the plastic lip at the bottomm its a bitch to get back together.

Are these cloth seats you are talking about? I wonder if they're different to the leather?

I unzipped my leather one (drivers side) to add a piece of foam to give me some more lumber support lower down. Then just zipped it back up. Yeah it was "tight", but not what I'd call difficult.

Easy to do. I used some hardish stuff that came wrapped around equipment - not polystyrene, but that would do I guess, just potentially messy. I put it behind the frame/webbing at the back which in turn pushed the front out. I find the lumber adjustment via the lever to be OK, but a little too high on my back to be effective on long drives.

Woooooo! :thumbsup: Now you need to paint your lights black! I have a spare light if you need a practice unit.

Fark! Can it take any more black?:ph34r:

Might need you to give me a tutorial as well... :whistling:

Yes they were cloth seats and the zip goes down the back and around the bottom. I think the plastic lip has to be undone to get to the zipper.

agreed....might look abit "too much" on a dark coloured car?

I've always wondered what other colours might look like. Red or yellow perhaps. There's millions of colours so you are almost guaranteed of being unique, plus it's paint so you could change it often for a new look.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
