Hope you like it, im in dire need of a short shifter, the blue box under the dash on the drivers side is my led controls, and my drivers seat is still there cause its being reupholstered after the others are finished. more updates to come. By the way the camera is just my camera phone, so it doesnt do the best justice for it but you get an idea. Oh and my car is a little dirty. damn water restrictions. mad.gif
looks nice, a little dirty, but im sure it will look awesome after a good wash. btw, nice pink flipflops

o dam the trim around the gauges is hott!!!howd u do that and what paint did u use?That looks nice as hell

BANNED. for life, you moron.
Edit* the painting of the guage surround was easy, just pulled out the guage cluster, pulled apart the guage cluster, took out the black bit (that's obviously now red) wet sanded it thoroughly with some 400 grit, then hit it with some 2000 grit to smooth it.

Layed down some plastic primer, then 2 coats of aztec red, can't think of the brand of hand but its about $10 a can, and its just a plastic/vinyl paint. Then sprayed 2 coates of clear/gloss. Then I took out the green indicator tab things, cut up a softdrink bottle to the same size of the tabs, sprayed them with 2 coats of the same red, then put it all together. So happy with it! It was about 30-45 mins of actual work, but took over half a day to do for the waiting to dry bits.

Haha thanks. And oi! The "flip flops" are red. Not pink lol. Just not the best camera.
