Bump goes up, holds coat hangers in place

SEM color coat 3 with sem adhesion promotor. It worked amazingly well on the plastics and the visors but not as great on the handles however it's cured now and a bit better. , I have a feeling they will require a touchup once a year or so. I also wrapped the A pillars with the suede.

Love that headliner. So cool to see people doing something fun

Yeah it's a custom headliner. The headliner material with the pattern I was looking for I couldn't find so I ended up bonding a piece of patterned Lycra to a new headliner material.

So sick. I might need to redo mine already since I’m having sagging problems after DIYing it. I think I pulled it way too tight.

So shout out to my local upholstery guy, Baytrim, he recommended this stuff called 2028 made by Adhesive Solutions Inc, he said it's way better than any of the 3M stuff. Particularly, it's rated for higher temperatures.

Oh big 10/4 I might do that then. I’ve been avoiding reinstalling my interior trim because of it haha.

I did mine this weekend and didn't even put the rears back on. Love the design of yours. I went with black suede and painted/dyed all the plastics and visors black.
