Black out the heads it would look better that way and remove the chrome around the windows.

Yeah, everyone keeps telling me to black the heads... I'm feelin it the way they are :P We'll see after the eyelids and grille/mesh are on. As for the chrome I agree completely. Is there anything under then, or can I just pull em off? Do they serve as any type of weather proofing?

X2. I took them off because I have rain guards since I like to keep my windows open when it rain. I say black them out since your gonna have black mesh tinted fogs and tinted tails. If black and white is the theme the heads look weird cleared. Photoshop them and compare see how you like it.

I'd only black them if I did my grille black, but I'm color matching it :P

Like I said, wait til I'm done haha. And black and white isn't necessarily the theme, but rather "absence of color", meaning no orange, red, or anything that's not a shade of black grey or white. (clear isn't a color lol) I think it would look wierd to have a white grille with black heads.

Anyway, better? :

lol, good suggestion, I like it. I can't just pull off the bigger strips cuz they have rubber attached to them, so I don't think it'd be wise to just strip those off haha.

The lower chrome strips actually keep water out of the door so I wouldn't permanently take those off. Alhouth you could take them off by unscrewing them and prying them off from inside while the window is down and paint them.

That's not a bad idea. Wouldn't cost me a dime either cuz I've already got primer and black paint. Well, I've got my new project haha.

These are the first set of gauges that I actually really liked. I'm not a big fan of the 3D look of the S7's.

I took mine out a few weeks ago and they are currently sitting on my pool table. ;)

EDIT: Except mine aren't AC. They look they same though. If you want I can find a picture when they were installed.

I have the same ones except there not AC also. Paid like 26 bucks for them and brand new and they already came with the upgraded inverter that Speedhut sells. Also grabbed the CF bezel from Speedhut. I love it! Who needs the S7's lol?!

Those are the gauges that you can thank Jason for (Prophet) he put up the money for them to produce 100 sets.

Hey Jigz, If you want them i will send them to you at no charge. I dont know if i will be keeping the inverter though. Have to double check my S7s to see if they came with one or not. Pm me.

Well, my excuse is that I've been around since 2000, so I remember 99.8% of the things that went down with respect to new parts. It is all a run-on sentence now...hahaha.

No better way to learn besides tearing the stuff apart lol. The A/T gutting was just a "curious" deal other than wanting to drop a ton of weight from it for mock-up.

Yes, because when 9G takes a picture of his cars, he keeps you guessing as to which one it is.. He'll either take it from a mile away, or in this case, covered in snow/tree. When he takes a picture he has us asking for more and never delivers.. =(
