What size gauges are those in the center of the dash and what did you have to modify to make them fit?

thanks for the kind words guys.

As for the gauges-its really pretty easy. Pop out the coin holder and the powerpoint plug and there will be holes that are irregular and need to be trimmed with a dremel or similar tool to open them up big enough for the gauges. Dont take all the material out or else it will be too big. Sorry I dont have any pics of when I did it but I guess that would have been a good idea.

I really like the way it looks with the blacked out emblems. How did you do that? I was also interested in the blacked out third brake light. Did you take it to a tint shop for them to do that or did you do it yourself?

thanks

For the emblems I used brake cleaner to remove all the black lettering, roughed em up a little with sandpaper and cleaned em off with alcohol. Then just used some Krylon plastic paint-about 2 coats and about 2-3 coats of clear. For the brake light I just used Niteshades- http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

1 can is more than enough and make sure to use some clear over that too.
