Hi,

 

Just thought some people might be interested in my mod.

 

I dyed one of my door cards black.

 

Comparing from the original

Nicely done:thumbup:

Looks much better than the grey :thumbup1:

I believe there was darker tweed optional on later model cars.

Something like this

That was more like '94-'98. Haven't seen the "300zx" embroidery in red before.

Tweed has NEVER been an 'option'.

Nicely done!

Looks 100% nicer!!! If I had the tweed cards I'll do mine...

Do you mind me asking what brand/product you used?

 

I’m planning to do this myself at some point.

If i'm honest...

 

some old printer ink/dye, free from work. It looks just as good as the pictures too, a nice deep black. Only took 2 coats.

Wow... Post more pix

I am a genuine fan of the tweed. If it's in immaculate condition (as mine was), it looks great. I much prefer it to leather.

I have done a few more panels today, ill fit them tomorrow and take some more pics.

 

Watch this space.

Great idea! I was tempted to dye my tweed when I had it, but got rid instead.

Someone covered the twee in my car with vinyl, it looked good from a distance but it was rather tatty up close.

 

I like the Tweed but grey?

 

Black looks awesome, so I thought I'd do something about it.

My biggest concern with this is how UV-tolerant it's going to be. My guess is "not very"...

Well, when I get it all done and I'm happy with the look, if it does fade, it would be well worth investing in some decent dye.

So you leaving the seats grey Chris?

Or are you keeping your original seats?

 

Door cards look great by the way.. You can buy some stuff that protects dyes from uv.. It's spray on too.

Think it's actually called dye lok

I'm keeping the seats that are already in the car. Ill upload some pics later on when it's all done

 

I'm not sure if the pictures do it justice. It looks pretty cool in real life.
