post pics of everything installed. I'll be honest, not sure about the blue and gold. Gotta see it. :shock:

**fatal1** · 01-29-2008, 11:07 PM

doesnt look like you sprayed very even coats either but it still looks wet in those pics i will have to see the finished product

**IVORY_G** · 01-29-2008, 11:18 PM

I likd it better the first time, with the black trim, no gold...

**beam514** · 01-29-2008, 11:39 PM

im assuming you wanted to paint your car blue and possibly have gold rims, so this is going along with that theme?

**IceDouTGaLanT** · 01-30-2008, 12:12 AM

i guess ill wait till the final outcome before i judge

Hey I got a question for you. How did you get the air vent in the middle out the one that covers 2 air conditioning vents. I've tried to play around a little w/ the dash pieces and all seem to come off easy except that one when I went to take that off it seemed real stiff and didn't want to budge is there any special tool to help get it out?

Hmmnn.... Interesting... Not sure if I can say I like it 100%. But I would like to see the final outcome.
I'm sort of okay with the gold... but seeing a tri-colored interior always bothers me... Then again I wasn't fond of tan interiors. But hey! Thats just me!
Your interior is surprisingly clean though!
May I ask, how come you have a wire sticking out under the steering wheel?
Hahahah is the box of cheetios apart of your future plan too? Hahah just teasing though.

thats not a half bad guess, about half way tho. i did a photoshop of your idea with the gold. it looks good but not as good as a blue/black. but i dont know if im going to get a new paint job or not. this is just the begining of saving money and getting ready for more

that part is the biggest pain in the ass. u have to work with it alot. u need to find out where the clips are and use a flat head. a few of mine broke and its still hard. its weird the way they are connected it has like a bump that u need to get out of the other connecter that is in the dash, the two vents are easy to pop out but make sure you do a good spray job on both of them because trying to get them back in they will scratch bcuz its such a tight fit

lol about the cheerios. but that wire is for my streetglow that is currantly not installed. i got a ticket after 8 months of them being on... passed every cop in my town... 4 on the first night... lol anyways its going to come in use for some interior stuff if i decided too. or i might reinstall the underbody one day. i try to keep the interior reallly clean. this spring is going to be a HUGE wash for it. everything is getting cleaned

That sucks man.. you didn't install a switch to turn it on/off while driving? I thought underbody was legal, just depends on color.
Thats cool! I always admire a clean interior. It's always harder to keep clean versus the exterior! I'm thankful my car does not have an ashtray =D

**Distort** · 01-30-2008, 01:06 PM

Did you use vinyl spray on the glovebox? It's that weird material... I'm trying to black out the whole dash, go to black leather seats, and momo steering wheel... I just cant reach the top 3 bolts with my shitty tools...

that wire is the swtich for on and off while driving. i can have it on while the car isnt on. but i guess that the state law doesnt SAY IT but the cheif of police siad ANY color while in motion is illegal. altho it doesnt say anything about yellow or white in the state law. gay. plus i think it helps see other cars in foggy weather so i keep mine on when its foggy. for now i agreed to just cut them off so that officer doesnt try to pull me over and say they were on, stupid small towns and power trip cops
