    Shapin up my interior... pics! (kinda 56k no no)

    Well, when I got the car, it had tore up grey seats, grey panels, a dirty grey carpet, and a near MINT dash. I hated the seats, so I found some black vinyls from a cool dude in Massachusets for only 50 bucks!, got some black floormats to break up the grey carpet, and the only thing I really had that was kind of out of place was the door panels...
    Ive been searching for black panels, but 4 door black door panels dont come up for sale too often, so i had to take matters into my own hands...
    Since the carpet is still grey and so is the headliner, I figured Id leave the centers of the doors grey... They actually came out MUCH better than expected! And I know I gotta clean the fabric, I wanna give the paint at least a day to dry before I accidently get some shampoo on it, lol... without further adiou (sp?)...







    OH! and here's a peak at my switch panel project... real simple, three rocker switches, Amber LED's Strategically places throughout the cabin in the little nooks and crannies for some ambient lighting, and soon to be a ultrawhite LED dome light. For now the LED's arent wired to the switches yet, Im just test fitting the center console with the wires under there.



    cant see shit in this, but kinda shows u the ambient light thrown onto the seat, almost the EXACT color of the dash lights...

    nice work man, is there a gloss on that at all or is it flat looking. This is something that I really need to do asap!

        The finish is almost exactly like the vinyl seats. Its flat with a VERY slight sheen, but not shiney like spray paint is.

        Ill get some pics of the LED's in the side of the console ASAP, probably tomorrow afternoon, theres only 2 in there now, they're mounted in the center console facing the e-brake handle, they light up that little pocket there.

        Ill get some pics of the door panels installed tomorrow too, I still have to paint the fronts!

                I get all my lighting stuff (ie: Cathodes, LED's, Switches) from Oznium.com
                Cheapest place around for the best quality stuff I've used. You can get raw LED's or pre-wired with resistors already soldered in, ready to wire and go! Im gonna be getting some cathode tubes for the floors soon. cant beat 8 bucks for a PAIR of tubes... lol.

                  that is most certainly not the cheapest place around, good selection though



                  for some cold cathodes
