It's just the light hitting the fabric. It's really smooth.

Must be just 04's, went to a meet last night and two GTO friends were there, one has an 04 with perfect headliner and the other was an 05 with sagging headliner.

Although the suede on my panels is in great shape.

Shadow has been doing good(knock on wood). So I have been doing other stuff...like painting peoples wheels lol. Got my technique down and everything.

My buddy is visiting from the N. Carolina. Has some 22's on his Ford Flex, the rims from far don't look bad, but up close, they needed some attention.

He wanted me to shoot the Gloss Black after how my wheels turned out. I think they turned out great.

Before and After, front is on a jack during the pic.

Takes a Nice black and white photo.

That makes a huge difference. It looks excellent. Not a huge fan of big wheels, but they definitely work with the all black.

Thanks and yeah, I would have left the factory 19's on it myself, but my bro really likes them and the re finish really made his day. I take care of close friends like that. What is crazy, this is the only Flex I have seen in this area with 22's and Pearl White Paint. The inside is really nice, kinda wouldn't mind having one for a family ride.

My 04 is perfect too... no headliner issues, door panel issues or rear seat stitches coming apart. The one annoyance I do have is the driver side floor mat... the rubber section where it meets the carpet is wearing through along the seem. Kinda pisses me off with 9200 miles on it. Other than that, it is in better shape than when I drove it off the dealer's lot back in 2004. I wish I had more time for it but for now it sits in the garage covered and waiting....

Must be nice with 9200 miles, mine has 82xxx. The only interior problem I have left is the split rear seats. One day I will fix them. It's not a high priority.

That football trick is genius Im going to have to copy that on my IBM 06. Look into poly engine mounts night and day and the vibes arent super terrible. I think my next mod will be the 1 piece DS or subframe connectors whats your impression of the 1 piece DS?

Thanks and I will look into the poly mounts. The 1 piece drive was night and day compared to the stocker. No more dealing with bad carrier bearings or loss of power from the 2 piece design, basically better response and solid feel. I paid 628 free shipping off ebay for a 1000hp DSS, have had no vibration Issues either. I have only taken her to 130 though. People say the DSS has issues at 150.......but, um, I don't plan on finding out. If you do go the football route, use the Junior size footballs.
