Re: From China with Love

Thanks Jerry, I'll look into it.

Too bad, I JUST threw out my receipt for the upholstery place that did my rabbit years ago. They were really good, had some decent stuff in there. Was in the NE somewhere.

Re: From China with Love

Its done by Velocity Upholstry in Vancouver (Surrey to be exact) and I'm in Vancouver for school so it's not hard for me to get it to him in person. I've hear about his work and seen a set or two done for calgary guys back then and remembered his name from since, he has lots of seats shipped in to get done, quality work and awesome customer service! But as of Calgary locally I don't know of anyone, however Jay(Jaysleeves) R32 seats were redone in beige leather by some company in Calgary and they looked mint, you could ask him if you want them done locally.

Thanks Jerry, I'll look into it.

Re: From China with Love

Happy Birthday Jerry.
Seats look pretty nice. I need to ask because as you know search isn't easy here, was it done in Calgary or Vancouver?
Just bought some suede material in Guangzhou and thinking about doing the same.

Re: From China with Love

Velocity Upholstry got these refreshed for me in less than 2 weeks, yesterday was my birthday and he finished them today! It's an awesome surprise and coincidence! Mk7 GTE plaid, I'm just glad my butt won't be frozen in winter nor on fire in summer now!

Re: Retrofit? Not so easy. Retrofit Part 1.

Thanks for the tutorial.

Not sure if I'll be lucky with reflector as the projector I ordered are even bigger but again, the light output you'll get out ofit will be worth it.

I'm sure the end result would be worth it, I would recommend you trying the nut and bolt method or the epoxy method because for the amount of time I'm currently spending on this project it's pretty much the same as those and arguably less complicated and more precise methods.

Re: Retrofit? Not so easy. Retrofit Part 1.

With lots of homework done on how to retrofit, I've begun the retrofitting on Sunday, everything seemed promising in the beginning, then everything went messy, particularly because everyone on the internet retrofit these bolt-on morimotos(Supposedly minimal to no mods into H7 and H4 housings) into H7 and H4 REFLECTOR housings, not the reflectors of an existing projector. Why? Due to optics a projectors reflectors is much smaller in dimension than a normal reflector housing light. So, many many things were chopped.

Thanks for the tutorial.
