Nice finger :P

Are the seat covers designed for the Aurion so it will rip when airbags are deployed?

[Squish]

Ahhah lol sorry bout the finger!

And..the seat covers were custom made for my car, they have cut outs on the sides of the front seats for the airbags, and the head rests have their own covers so that they can be adjusted like normal (all five headrests), the back seats have the same covers too, but no logo, and theres a zip up flap for the middle seat so you can still use your drinks tray and hand rest if u like, and theres little openings for the little string things to pull on either side of the rear seat (dunno what they are for though). They were measured, made and installed all by Autobarn.

Ill post pics of the cut out later so you can see what they are like...no need to rip seat covers for airbags lol

[Buff Hamster]

There's a seller on ebay that also does custom seat cover but they are so expensive

BTW nice car

Welcome to the club, cant wait to see how you build her up.

Imo im not a fan of the trd logos, as it isnt a trd and thus looks out of place, but each to their own

Hey cam, thanks buddy..

Lol theres only two stickers, the rego sticker and the fuel consumption sticker, which was there when we bought it.

Oh and down the bottom a drowning p plate lol!

The fuel consumption sticker has been removed now :)

Just the rego sticker there, but its like halfway up the winscreen lol, coz my mum dont take the old ones off, just stacks them up along the windscreen, coz she dont wanna break a nail, trying to get em off...lol.

Haha anyways thanks for the wish ;)

Pretty clean ride, good effort.

[Squish]

Wow its been a while since my last post here. Thanks to Trent and Zhan for your comments.

Well my first year of university is coming to an end soon, so im planning to get back into spending some more time on the Aurion.

It is officially mine now btw, used to be mum's, but she got a Nissan Elgrand E51 a couple months ago, so now the Aurion is mine and i sold my little Laser.

Anyhow, I've ordered a bunch of LED bulbs and a roll of black carbon fiber wrapping, to keep me busy. Also very keen on tinting the taillights and getting the car lowered. Will keep you guys updated as things progress :)

Also what size springs do you guys think are a good height for an Aurion on 20"s? Something comfy, but also looks good and how much does it roughly cost to have them supplied and installed?

[Squish]

Okay well my roll of carbon fiber wrapping arrived on Friday and i couldn't wait to give wrapping a go, so I did it yesterday.

Took me about 2 and a half hours to do these 5 pieces but I'm happy with the outcome. :) Although some of the edges are a bit rough and there are a couple of small bubbles on the double cup holder lid, might give it another go again later on. Happy for now though :)

Here are the pics...

nice work :) ,how much did the carbon fiber wrapping cost ??

$18.00 for a sheet 1.27m x 1m (size of 16 A4 sheets) off ebay, seller is from NSW

http://www.ebay.com....984.m1423.l2649

They have raised the price a little now by the looks of things, but for all of what I've done I only used about 2 and a half A4 sheets worth of it including wasting some during the learning process.

This s how big it was

this is how much I have left after doing it.

[sportivo2007]

Thanks for the link, looks like heaps for 6 sheets cant wait to do mine .

[Squish]

GOOD LUCK! You get the hang of it after a while ( oh and its the size of 16 A4 sheets not 6, hence why it looks big ;) )

[Squish]

Ok guys so i had my first try at tinting my tail lights a few days ago, here are the results. Which shade do you think is better? The lighter one or the darker one? Left or right? Also going to make the badges black next week, i think it'd look better with the tinted lights.

Took some photos at night aswell, but not the best quality, just with my iPhone

[jeffy]

left one, careful with the cops, they can d*ck you with tinted tail lighjts, and deffs black emblem !

[Squish]

Yeah im thinking left one too, slightly less noticable to cops and also lower chance of getting rear-ended lol. But still keeps me happy too :)

Going to use this Plasti dip stuff to black out the emblems, has anyone heard of it or used it before?

Looks nice and easy and removable at anytime and there are some guys that sell it in Hoppers Crossing, so I'm thinking its a win? :D

[jeffy]

Yep i have used plasti dip, mines been on for over a year!!

i got a guy who supplies em near your place too! Pm me if you need(we might know the same guy :P)

Ooh awesome thats good to know that its durable. No problems when washing the car or anything?

The guys i found, I found them through ebay, They are called Caswell Australia? The guys' names are Paul and Marcus?

Are they the same people you know?

LOL yup ive used it, cheap and nasty. that poor guy prolly spent more time taping up then it would have taken to remove the emblem and paint it proper.

For the tail lights ......... Deff Darker ftw !
