Thanks, I appreciate the compliment. I do very frequently get pissed and bored with the project but everytime I get something new done it makes me want to do more and more so I can see the finished project. The carpet is the same carpet in the before pic all I did was clean it and paint it. I was going to order new carpet but painting my orginal carpet turned out really well. I already have it put back in my car and it looks great. I will get pics of it in my car tomrrow.

Dang! That looks like a TON of work! But if you have a 2nd car I think it would be fun and a great learning process for interior tasks. How was it taking the seats out? Also, how did you paint the carpet? I would think that if you paint carpet the fibers will clump together or get stiff. Looks good though! It would be cool if you put a Honda logo on there in silver!
Yeah it has been quite a bit of work to pull everything out and I not even close to being done. I did paint the carpet, it turned out great not stiff at all and the color is very uniform. It makes it look like I bought brand new carpet and put it in. :) Where do you think I should put a silver honda logo?

You can spray paint carpet and it works awesome. You just let it dust on basically, let it dry, then do it again. I did it in my CRX on the rear deck. I did an interior re-paint in that (it was all blue) to black with a couple red highlights here and there. It looked bad BUM, actually revinyled part of the door and then painted the bottoms.
But yeah, spray painting carpet works amazing. And it doesn't rub off if you start with clean carpet!

Oh yeah, when it comes time for your seat belts, you can dye them, but to get them REALLY black it will take a few times. Mix a little india ink in with the dye and that will help. Good luck man, it looks good!

Good job bro. I've painted a couple of carpets before with Dupli-Color vinyl and fabric paint... Works really well. I love to strip interiors out of cars. I do it to every car I buy and pressure wash the crap out of my seats, carpet, etc. It makes such a huge difference....

Let me know what you think? By the way, I still haven't figured out how to get the seat beat seperate from the plastic pillar or what to do to change the color. So if you have any ideas, definately let me know.
I've never personally pulled one of those pillars off.... can you give us a shot of the backside or whatever it is that's holding the seat belt to it?
Worst case scenario I would think you could dunk the whole assembly in the dye just be sure to dry any metal parts really well once you're done. Since you're painting the Side trim anyway it's not going to hurt as long as you don't get any rust.

You've yet to answer how you painted the carpet!!!!!
Sorry about that....lol I used duplicolor vinyl and fabric paint to paint it. I didn't even really clean the carpet real good, just vacuumed it good and shot it with 3 or 4 coats of paint. It only took like 15 minutes to dry good and I had the carpet out of the car, cleaned, painted and reinstalled in about 2 hours.

I don't have my car at home with me, it's at my dad's house with no seats in it..lol but whenever i get another off day and start working on it again I'll take some shots of it and post em up for ya. Basically it's just two 12mm bolts that are under the pillar. You got to take one off, then slide the assembly up and get the bottom one. I have been wondering if honda/acura seatbelts are universal, cause I think integras have black belts and if they fit that would be awesome. If anyone knows let me know about that.
