If you have to smoke in your car, maybe try a pipe. I would love to pull up next to a fellow Crossfire owner and see em puffing on a pipe, haha.
Oh, you'll see me smokin' a pipe next time we get together ;-)

okay, how to repair cig burns...
first thing you need is some of the material that is burned... usually remove the head liner and trim the edge that is covered by other trim piece or go to a junkyard and find something in the same or very close colour and texture and/or knap...
second...take a new sharp razor blade and "shave" the material off of the extra trim piece from the first step...keep these fibres
third...clean the burn mark making sure to remove all of the "burned" residue
next...if required in your now cleaned hole use some backing material such as duct tape or thin cotton material (think old worn t-shirt) and attach "behind" the hole.
next... place glue in the bottom of the "now clean hole" and take the fibres you shaved off in the second step and place in your hole, with lots of care you will be able to cover in the hole and the new material will make it disappear. lots of care and arrangement of the fibres with tweezers will make it look fairly good, if done well it will not be noticed by anyone who doesn't know it is there...
tips...take the headliner out. working above your head against gravity will drive you nuts...get a old headliner and burn it and fix it first before working on your irreplaceable part...
hope this helps!!!

I dont understand why anyone would smoke in their car. Any car that was smoked in instantly loses money in the value of the car. No one wants a smoked in car

I would venture to say it would smell to a non-smoker... I can smell my neighbors cigarette smoke when I'm in the house with no windows open and he is smoking on his patio... !!!

I guess that means the butt goes out on the ground. Everytime I see a smoker throw a butt on to the round I honk my horn & flash my lights to let them know I saw them throw that crap on the ground for others to deal with. Why????

Cigarette buts out the window or thrown on the ground in Georgia will soon be against the law and you will be fined, right along with Cell Phone use!!! Yeahhhhhh

I did the shawfire fix on maroon upholstry in a '90 Imperrial some years back. It worked. Difference was, however, with this dark color I did not use glue but matching color nail polish. Repaired carpet using a similar system on some cars I worked on as well. If you were looking at any of the fixes and knew they were there you could pick them out. Still, no one who didn't know, including in one case the owner of the car, ever commented on the repairs or seemed to notice them.

They work well, I like em, don't impact my running as hard (military) as a regular cigarette and the vapor is just atomized nicotine. They don't smell like anything.
