Dont know where else to post. My center console is stained from sweat how do I remove it? It's not vinyl its fabric. Carpet shampoo maybe?

@Mark Vandal I'd try something like this:

Lots of great resources, mark

This guy's channel is great

Replaced my 12v center console charge port with dual USB today

Plug was proprietary, but it had the right connections, so I sawed the plastic piece in half

To make it fit. Red wire contains small fuse to protect cars electronics, just in case

2018-11-17 18:50:44 UTC  

Bonus, vinyl wrap overtop of plasti chrome accents. A feature on most modern cars that looks cheap and gross

Nice!

2018-11-19 17:15:52 UTC  

Anyone ever put cheap sound deadening materials in their car before?

2018-11-19 17:16:05 UTC  

Going to try it this week when I replace my speakers.

2018-11-21 01:40:44 UTC  

Never used it before, and I've had nice subs in all my vehicles. Never had that horrible rattling from the outside either.

2018-11-21 19:29:01 UTC  

It's just loud in the cabin. I think a nice pair set of new tires will solve a lot of the noise. I did place some material on the doors since I had the front door panels off.

2018-11-21 19:29:50 UTC  

It reduced noise by 3db on average. Certainly not a ton, but worth the extra 5 minutes per door.

Got good coverage everywhere I could reach inside

2018-11-21 19:33:16 UTC  

New speakers required brackets. Brackets were semi universal. Some cutting on perforations required

Replacement speaker in

2018-11-21 19:37:01 UTC  

Ordering from crutchfields will guarantee that you receive perfectly fitting speakers, brackets, plug and play wiring harnesses and anything else. It's cheap too, only about 5% more than amazon, but really knowledgeable staff.

2018-11-24 21:18:54 UTC  

I definitely second that. Crutchfield is the only place I'll ever order from. They've got parts, brackets, mounting options, etc for every application.. and phenomenal customer service.

2018-11-24 21:19:32 UTC  

By the way, nice job @Papa Pizzagate, looks very clean 👌

2018-11-24 21:56:42 UTC  

TY bruv. $40 and 2 hours. Well worth the investment

2018-11-24 21:57:32 UTC  

@DeusVolk Sorry to hear about your head unit being stolen. Crutchfield's website should have what you need to get rolling again.

2018-11-24 22:32:43 UTC  

Thanks I’ll check them out.

2018-11-25 00:40:35 UTC  

I'd give them a phone call first @DeusVolk one of the very few modern companies that speaking to over the phone will be time/cost saving and helpful.

2018-11-25 15:15:54 UTC  

While I’m here, can anybody recommend anti theft devices, whether they be alarms, steering wheel / brake locks, etc. for a 90s Camry?

I found a useful comment on YouTube:
