So i got bored today and went down to my local Jo-Ann fabric store and bought 2 yards of cinnamon whisper vinyl.... and i wrapped my glovebox in it hahaha. I used 3M Super 77 Glue and intend to change everything in the car that's beige to cinnamon and dye my headliner black because i just can't deal with all of the beige in this car
Here's the color that i'm gonna be wrapping and dying stuff in
Here's the glovebox before...
In the process...
Here it is with the glove box latch release in... i'm not too happy with how the release turned out, so i'm gonna buy another latch and just spray it black with some plastic paint. It'll look alot cleaner, but for now this works.
In the car..
You can still see a little bit of the beige, so i'm gonna cut that part out and paint that along with the latch black for a much cleaner look. But for now this'll work haha. Right now i'm a little stuck though because i'm trying to find some Leather/Vinyl/Plastic dye that matches this cinnamon color. It looks like it matches exactly with BMW cinnamon so i may order some of that dye and see how well it matches the vinyl i have. More interior updates will be coming soon, along with pics of my bacon fenders tomorrow if my spacers show up in time
You can make your fenders a bit less bacon-ey by using a heat gun with a hammer wrapped in cloth and a small piece of wood. Won't be perfect, but might fix some of the minor waves. Put the piece of wood on the inside of the wheel well, use your heat gun to warm up the paint and metal without getting it too hot, then use the hammer and gently hit it back into shape. Be super careful about the heat and make sure you have a thick ass cloth on the hammer.

Sounds good dude thanks for the advice! I'll try this out tomorrow... I may use a rubberish dead blow hammer to stay on the safeish side hahaha
