Hey was this on Pimp my ride? When are the hydraulics going in?"


You should have driven the car with all the interior panels out for a few miles, that would have been cool with the lighter weight and the sound.

Impressive kustom interior, Tuls. Any mods in the interior lighting department to go with the suede and carbonfibre?

Great job Tuls. I'm not an Elvis fan myself, but that has nothing to do with the graet job you did.

That looks amazing! Did you do the seats yourself? How much weight in suede do you figure you added to the headliner?

I did all the instalation and tearing apart of the car apart my self...

as for the accual upholstering

I have a friend who owns an upholstery shop....I recommend using only them heh heh

1st upholstery...
480-449-0292

you can ship them you seats and they can do it and send it back! I am not sure about cost...they are not the cheapest but they are the best....I have known them for years and have seen alot of people bring them stuff from other upholsterers and it was horrible so they had to fix it...etc...anywho..if you wanna do it this is the way I would go...

You should paint the silver on the steering wheel white to go with the rest of the interior.

that's just one of the absolutely sickest looking interiors i've ever seen!!! good job Tuls!!! big props to your buddy that did the upholstery work looks immaculate from here. what exactly did you use on the panels to get that carbon look? keep on keepin' on dude i like what you're doing with your MCS i dig your style. i wish i had the skill and trust in myself to tear up my baby like that.

Looking great Tuls. Can't wait to see it in person.

I know you're not an Elvis fan, but your car now begs for a custom plate that reads "SHOEZ"
