Sheepdog's custom interiors??

[sheepdog]

Hey guys,

While redoing my Impreza's interior and posting pics, I had several people over at ecb want me to do stuff for them. I enjoy it, and I have a good amount of experience with it, so I figure what the hell.

Anyways, if anyone needs any interior work done (pretty much anything except custom fiberglass or door cards and the like) let me know. I'm thinking about picking this up as kind of a side-job I'll do for friends. I can either trade cars for a couple days (a premium since it woudl be the swapped gc ;) ), or you can ship me stuff, I'll do it, and then you can reinstall it.

I've gotten pretty good at interior color changes and design coordination, so I'd consider that my specialty. Prices would obviously be reasonable :wink:

This sounds like something I'd want but I need a good color scheme or idea for it... I've got a white BE and I plan on getting black rims so my overall color scheme will be white and black I suppose. Any ideas, anyone? :)

come put some STi guages in with me ;)

I'm doing white and black in my car as well. I'm going to be doing blue or red interior accents, but nothing cheesy. I can help with the design process as well, but I'd need to take a closer look at the BE interior.

I'm suprised you arent on the road already to trade cars with me for a few days ;)

Sounds sweet, I'll take pictures of mine because I doubt I can find any stock photos of some but I'll post/send them tomorrow and you can give me some ideas since I'm not very creative. I'd like to add a third color in the color scheme but I probably won't be able to match it on the exterior. I was thinking gold but it might look cheesy. Pink would look good with black of course but that's kind of girly. :lol: I appreciate any ideas!

[sheepdog]

Yea man, post some pics up or PM them to me. We can go from there as to a third color.

Eh, my camera's batteries are dead and it still uses actual batteries (not rechargable) so I probably won't buy new ones for a while. I found some interior pictures in an eBay listing, I figured it would be easier to just look at them here instead of hosting and posting all of them. :smile:

My interior is pretty much the same except I have the wood trim around the window switch that puts the window down/up. Any ideas, my man?

[sheepdog]

Piece of cake. I'd take the lighter color on the bottom of the door cards and any matching trim pieces around the door and go dark grey or black, match the lighter color on the bottom of the dash with that. The woodgrain goes, to be replaced with a flat black. I could do a red or red and black fabric on the door panel insert, and ditch the chrome door handle. I'm thinking a black speaker fabric on the ABC pillars and headliner, and red lighting behind the gauges, key ring, and hvac.

Let me know what you think!

[JKirk]

Wow, I like your ideas but not sure as to what color I would like the scheme to be. I don't care for red much although it would look sweet and I don't know of any other color that would look as good. What would you replace the chrome door handle with also?

[Wiscon_Mark]

A good solid red looks good with white. Aken (Nasioc) painted his Aspen White BE's stock GT wheels red, and they looked pretty darn good.

But this is interior, and I don't think you should be so overstated.

[sheepdog]

I think there were models that came without the chrome handle, if not I could take it apart, sand and paint it.

I could do any color on the door panels and accents. Blue works, however is kind of overdone. Also, blue is hard to match in the gauges, they usually come out kind of teal. I could do white on the panels and the gauges I think, however I've never had a BE hvac system apart before so I couldnt tell you for sure about them.

I can of course do it all black, or different black fabrics, whatever you want.

Are you planning on doing different seats? Thats a good way to decide what accent color you want.

[JKirk]

I'm thinking about white leather maybe, is that possible? It could keep the white and black theme and if it's white leather, then it won't get dirty too bad.

[sheepdog]

White vinyl will be cheaper and look just as good, I'd have to order white leather from somewhere and it'd be expensive.

Recover a set of Version 4 JDM STi seats for me in Leather to match the Katzkinz leather rear seats I have?

[sheepdog]

I think that might be a little more than I have the tools to do here at school.
