[QUOTE="just call me KeV, post: 8805753, member: 656095"] So I thought this would be quick, simple project. hahahahha . ... Not so much. I spent another six hours on the kicks today and I actually don't have so much left to go so let's see some fresh photos. I think this is where we left off yesterday. The passenger side did not match the drivers side so there was some work to be done. [ATTACH type="full" alt="20220818_184521_HDR.jpg"]41849[/ATTACH] I used a set of graduated lines while the factory kicks were in the car This was used to match when I pulled them and the fiberglassed ones out of the car so everything fit when reinstalled. You can see in the first pic that I agitated the surface with an 80 grit sanding disc. This was to help with adhesion of the reinforced filler and the wrapping progress. I'll be using the same suede as the door panels.
