So I changed the fabric. What do you think? Mind you, it's still dirty from going through the process of putting it back in.

HA! The only mod that was really left that I wanted to do to my CSVT

It was trial and error, that's why it took as long as it did. The first attempt was just a plain black cloth. The problem there was that it picked up every dimple in the stock foam. So I peeled it off.
After realizing the foam was going to be the problem, I went to a fabric store and they were selling headliner foam. Thankfully they were going out of business, because for 5 yards of foam I only spent $6.xx.
Then I decided plain black was exactly that, plain. So the current fabric caught my eye. I tried a few different types of glue, the 3M was way too expensive though. Something like $15 a can :blackeye:. So I used some industrial strength stuff from the local body shop.

I'll have better pictures of it from this weekend at Carlisle. The sun was starting to set when I took the picture, and I was in the shade. I'll be sure it's clean and captured with the right settings on my camera though.
looks awesome! nice job
now all you need to do is dye the oh-**** handles and sunroof button the same color and you'll be set!

on a scale of 1-10 what difficulty level would you say this is to do. Also about how much time did you spend on this all together? Is it a weekend mod?

looks like a great job, though for my taste I'm not liking the contrast in colours. 2 thumbs up for the effort though!
