looks familiar

I had a tan interior also and it had had several puddles of water in front of all of the seats and it looked fairly similiar to that lol hell i still have all of the tan interior but I dont know what to do with it because no one seems to want tan(I cant blame them)

oh also have you checked into that spray in dynamat in Summit, says it will even work on underbody to lower sound levels and "dries tough enough to work as gravel guard" I dunno if it is anygood but I'm gonna try it when I put mine together hell, i may spray it in then get some additional dynamat to lay on top of it. anyway just thought I might make you aware of this later(oh its in the audio section pg 282 in the recent summit)
later

well i just PAINTED MY TAN it's looks so damn great
best think to use on it is a liitle water and clorox to get the oil out
let it dry and use semi-flat KRYLON BLACK that looked perfect but i ran out and the ace hardware ran out to so i went to home depot and got some gloss home interior rustolem and painted the rest looked very good

plus the 108 degree weather here in houst baked it one DANG IT"S HOT

sweeet that is good looking, hell I may look into doing that and selling the light grey panels that i got(have DK grey seat belts--charcoal-- and I like those) but I was also thinking of making everything that had cloth on it--ie seats, sail panels, carpet, center console etc. with dark grey and just having the Light grey/dk grey setup going--with charcoal/ebony leather 4th gen seats, just not sure how it will look. anyway its bed time later.
