My car is my first exposure to doing upholstery work like this and my first exposure to contact adhesive. I started by replacing the OEM pieces on the door cards and found that be pretty easy. The hardest part is actually separating the door cards (upper and lower pieces).

The rear deck is by far the easiest piece in the entire car to do because it is essentially a flat surface. I didn't even use any steam when I wrapped this piece. I just cut a piece that was half of a yard, sprayed both it and the rear deck with contact adhesive and waited 20-30 minutes before sticking them together. Then I trimmed the edges and left 1-1.5" that I wrapped around the back side (that was previously sprayed with contact adhesive).

The piece that I had has been sold, but if you are still looking let me know since I have a friend that has some of this too that he might be parting with and I also have Ice Blue in non-perf available by the yard.

Will do brah. It'll still be a little bit as right now Im in the middle of DIY light mod/grill mod/intercooler mod and making a custom fiberglass box plus working 6 days a week.
