Sticker Bomb Options

[Kaizee93]

Hey guys I've just ordered some sticker bomb sheets. Just wondering if anyone has had experience putting them on the center console?
and also what are your thoughts?

Thanks

[jordisonjr]

Was tempted to do this, but didn't wanna ruin the trim if I did like it.
Give it a shot and show us the results.

[Kaizee93]

Thanks I will do, it looks pretty nice on other cars just haven't seen it on a celica, I will post some photos when the sticker sheets arrive.

[smkr3w]

I say do it, and throw a nice clear coat over it when its done

[Kaizee93]

Thanks heaps, the sheets have turned up today but I will be away on the weekend so next weekend it will be, pics will be posted as soon as i'm done

[jordisonjr]

Sweet!
Always was tempted to try it but also never really had enough stickers/didn't want to spend the money on a sheet.

[95CelicaST]

Satin/matte clear it... shiny interior is not so much fun.

[Kaizee93]

Well I'll try it and if it looks good you guys can do it aswell i'm not to sure if the sheets will cover the hole center console but i'll just get some single ones if that's not the case.

[trdproven]

keep it clean keep off the trend scene

[Kaizee93]

keep it clean keep off the trend scene

Were I live there is no trend for jdm what so ever, I want to be unique hence why I want to do it.

[trdproven]

meaning since you have already the JDM cars, theres basically no scene? kinda how the japanese like the USDM japanese style?

Unsure what you mean sorry?

[trdproven]

like us in the US love the JDM style, those in Japan are the opposite, they like how the US does their cars or how the USDM japanese cars look like. For example, we try to do the Japan Front End Conversion and then they like to do the USDM counterpart conversion.

[Kaizee93]

ahh yer I understand, do you like the idea of sticker bombing the center console then?

I have thought about it myself.get some pics up when you have done it..

[jordisonjr]

I'd say, if you like it, go for it and who cares what other people think about it.

[trdproven]

stickerbomb just looks plain messy and trendy but its your car. why dont you try it out and see what everyone says.

[Kaizee93]

I'm going to do it anyway just wanted the thought and opinions of everyone else, should be done by the weekend hopefully.

[bigb1970]

good luck,remember the pics..

[Kaizee93]

Couldn't help myself so I had to do some today not as bad only just started so keep that in mind and also this is my first try. I will upload photos tomorrow.
To anyone thinking about it I would definitely suggest single stickers rather then a sheet but hey I'm giving it a go and that's the main thing.

[jordisonjr]

Was the sheet just one large square sticker with the sticker bomb look?
I thought it would be a sheet with individual stickers like the ones you got when you were a kid and your could place wherever.
Individual stickers would be much easier.
Excited for pics.

[Kaizee93]

Yer pretty much one big sticker. I will upload pics after work, keep in mind I haven't done all of it yet otherwise I will have nothing to do on the weekend haha.
Definitely would prefer single stickers but at least I got something to start with now.

[Kaizee93]

Ok so here some photos as promised, Now remember it is NOT finished yet, some feedback would be nice. I will do the rest on the weekend with some other mates.

What do you guys think so far?

[storm26]

Amazing!! Keep on and quick!

[smkr3w]

I like it
I, like a couple people here, have considered it but haven't done it. Currently I've woodgrain vinyl.

Might I suggest using a heatgun on low or a blow dryer on the sticker around edges.. It will soften/strecth the material a bit and will allow you to pull the sticker tight around curves and corners with no binding, for example the small piece that is sticking out in the ashtray. Just a suggestion, I kinda have ocd when it comes to detail

Again very nice!

Thanks heaps I have wondered how to do that, I will see what I can do, when the sticker sheets turned up here the mailman left them mostly out of the mailbox and it was pooring down rain so the edges lack a bit of stick, Appreciate
the positive feedback and glad you guys are liking it. I will put up more pics on the weekend when the rest will hopefully be done.

[jordisonjr]

Looks good, but are you goign to go right to the edge of the trim? or leave it how it is?
I'd say go right to the edge for more of a completed look.

[Kaizee93]

I'd say go right to the edge for more of a completed look.

As I said I'm only half way It will go to the full trim I just didn't want to do it all the other day otherwise
I wouldn't have a project on the weekend.

[jordisonjr]

lol just making sure!

[Box]

I ♥ drifting with your mom. Definitely different, like it more than I thought I would.

[Kaizee93]

Haha yer that's the only part that showed the full sticker, it's not to bad...it should look better when I add the rest to it.
Glad people are liking it though. Thanks guys!

[Kaizee93]

For all of you guys keeping track of this, I will be adding the next bits tomorrow sometime so expect some pics within the next 2 days!

[Kaizee93]

Ok guys here is some more progress.

Done bout 3/4 of it now, used a heat gun this time to stretch the stickers a little bit and make them stick better. Havnt applied a clear coat yet. The rest should be done by the end of the week.
Enough of me talking here is some pics:








I need to fix up the ash tray the edging of the sticker is sticking up I no.









As always would love to hear your opinions

[jordisonjr]

I think it looks kinda cool.
What are you going to do with the clock? Just cut around the button and sticker right ip the the plastic?

[kurt95gt]

I gotta say I'm starting to like the look if this.
Keep up the good work

[Kaizee93]

What are you going to do with the clock? Just cut around the button and sticker right ip the the plastic?

Unsure yet, thinking about sticking the stickers over it then cutting out the idnent of the clock but unsure.

Thanks guys hope everyone is like it!

Looking good Knew some heat would do the trick.
For the clock, what I did was tuck the material behind.. so pop the clock out, lay the material and wrap into the clocks slot then when its all done pop the clock back in. Theres really no space, so excess sticker will stay tucked. Just my .02 cents

[Kaizee93]

Thought bout this but wasnt sure how hard it would be to take it out and didnt really want to fiddle with it. Is it easy to take out?

Not too dificult its only 2 tabs, one on either side that hold it in place.. only trick is after out undo one tab it usually pops back in when you try the other side

What do you guys think so far?

wow looks sick!, ive been thinking about doing this, since theres other people here in the stance and fitment scene that have done this, and it looks nice!

[Kaizee93]

Thanks man, it's really not that hard to do hey, and the best part is its fairly cheap (for the sheets anyway) and of course it looks good.

Working on it tonight so hopefully might get it ready for a clear coat by tomorrow or the next day.

[Kaizee93]

Ok guys need an opinion here just added last parts and wanted to no if yas reckon I should put the clock back in or not.

[jordisonjr]

Looks good!
Get some pics once you have it installed in the car as well!

[Box]

If you have an aftermarket radio with a clock I wouldn't bother. Just don't reconnect the clock.

[Kaizee93]

Yer I don't think I will bother putting the clock back in at this point of time. I'll post up some inside shops soon.

[Kaizee93]

So hit a bit of bad luck last night, the clear coat seemed to react to some parts of the stickers. Thinking maybe because i left it a week to put a coat on it. Anyway I'll post some pics up soon
and I might try get them out later.

[Kaizee93]

Ok guys heres the pics, I no the car is pretty dirty on the inside so bear with me haha. Love to hear your thoughts and opinions
as always:





Since you guys have been so nice and helpful I decided to do another part inside the car as a bit of a secret


Final look:


Looking In


Thanks for all your thoughts and suggestions.

What Next???

[kurt95gt]

Shifter boot surround. Next
That would make the the center console look more complete

Ditto, and the passenger air vent. Maybe the window switch panels too.

[jordisonjr]

Was just going to post that too.
I wouldn't do the window switch panels on the doors, but would do the passenger side air vent to match the driver side

[Kaizee93]

Ahh yes of course, lol but do yas actually like it?

[kurt95gt]

Honestly yes
An I promise you at the beginning of this thread I was fully prepared to hate it an secretly lol at it in private.
But it turned out really good an looks cool
Guess now I understand why people sticker bomb stuff


Just don't over do it lol

Haha glad you like it mate but I don't mind if people hate it. At the end of the day its not their car its mine and
I will do what ever I want to it. I will definitely do the passenger side vent and probably just leave it at that hey.

[kurt95gt]

Sorry if that came off kinda rude lol
An thanks for the link BTW

[Kaizee93]

Haha no not at all just stating why I do these kind of things Glad you enjoyed it.

[jordisonjr]

Yea I think doing the window switch surrounds would be over doing it, however, i would do the shifter surround, to make make it all flow together, as well as teh passenger side vent, but I don't think I'd do much more than that.

Good stuff man looks pretty wicked.

Yer just wasnt sure with the boot surround because the plastic is only small so your not actually going to see the stickers there will just be a bit of colour but I may look into it and see what I can do, thanks

[Akirad1]

i was sceptical at first but it looks good no so much a sticker bomb feel but a graffiti look(well to me anyways)

[Kaizee93]

Thanks man I am glad you like it. Still havnt done the passenger side vent yet because im out of sheets, but once I
get that done it should look fairly good I hope

[manphibian]

Looks super awesome

[Kaizee93]

I am glad alot of people seem to be liking this, come on guys get inspired I want to see your sticker bombs now!!!

[Akirad1]

id do it but sticker bomb on a euro just dont seem right to me, and im more of a stock look guy you know all go no show lol

[Kaizee93]

Haha yer just saying thats a shame then oh well glad you like it though

[R4R44V15]

When I redid all of my console pieces and such, I was thinking about doing this, but ended up just going with the carbon fiber since I was unsure if I'd like it or not. Now I wish I had went ahead and did it.

Looks great!

[playr158]

Looks pretty nifty!

[Kaizee93]

Yer I was a bit unsure at first especially since I haven't seen a celica with one done to it but I thought I would give it a go anyway and I'm happy with the results and for me its just enough stickers as well, not to much or to less.

[Akirad1]

found some euros with sticker bombs

Hate the VW little bit to much sticker bombing haha the Jettas one looks reqally nice!

[Nihil]

Somehow I believe sticker-bombing looks good only on jap cars (preferably on a drift car or a rat look Honda)... Maybe it is just me, but that VW Beetle looks even nastier with the stickers. I mean... imagine that an old american muscle car is sticker-bombed, that's just sick and wrong. The same thing goes with EU cars.
Now a jap car... that can come out quite nice, if not exaggerated.

Oh and as for the Celica interior in this thread... I'm surprised how good it looks I'm a fan of a carbon-like interior myself, but this is great...
Do the door panels next! That middle round part, or that bottom "pocket" part.

Haha agreed I don't think I would ever see a muscle car with sticker bombing, I have thought about it but I just don't know hey, I don't want to
make it overboard but if enough people like it I might give it a go.

I wouldnt bro. Stick with what u have. Its not over done. Center consul (that u have done right now) Shifter surround and vents is perfect. Last thing u want is it to be over done.

Wow someone right this down
Joe said you've done enough. Well probably never see another post like this again

[Akirad1]

yeah i like the jetta engine cover it looks like those sharpie drawings but yes not a big fan of the beetle just thought it look cool. i could deff see doing a sharpie drawing on one of my covers engine or air cleaner box. just so its not showing unless i want people to see

[Kaizee93]

Haha can't seem to make up my mind. What I will do is finish off the passenger vent and just leave it at that. It's plain and simple
and just has the right amount for a bit of wow factor so I think I will leave it as is. Can't believe the amount of people checking out
this thread haha.
