I havent gotten any decent pics yet. I'm working on some interior mods right now (mainly lighting but will be doing some repainting) but the big stuff isn't happening till I do the engine swap this summer
All part of a plan. I guess all that rambling means is I'll try to put some up soon. There's 2 (crappy) ones in my profile, but I cringe every time I see how dirty the engine bay is. And I did those grounding wires before I really started thinking about full presentation or even the best functionality, so right now it's looking a little rough. -------------------- |

haha thanks guys. I didn't like silver cars up until I got mine.
Taktikal, your name reminds me of drum n bass. Negative, are your gauges actually red!? If so those are HYPE! I'm doing a mainly blue theme in mine (all existing lights being replaced by blue leds, and I did the super white/blue gauges, just gotta change out my radio and get a blue tictac cover for the clock(told ya I've been reading!). Thanks for the compliments guys. I just cant wait to put some nicer rims on her and get any little dings and paint imperfections outta there. And as previously mentioned... engine swap FTW! -------------------- |

Not just the gauges are LED but the dome, the key ring, the lighter ring - everything but the CC. Gives it that submarine underattack look LOL. See my profile for a list. Blue is the easiest [availabilty of LEDs] and ends up looking the cleanest too. Good luck with it.

it's been hell (and it's almost getting expensive) trying to get all the right bulbs together. After multiple failed ebay orderings because of incorrect part numbers and bulb lists, I've finally got almost all the correct bulbs on their way. Just need to figure out which one for the light ring and how to put it in and I think I'm done. Finally found a bright looking blue dome light today. Already got the clear courtesy lens (thanks to searching ) and the ash tray bulb was ordered today as well. Even the glove box will be glowin a nice blue. Can't wait till it's finished.
I'm probably going to get it repainted this summer after the engine swap because of some bad paint spidering in the back (not too noticeable, but I notice it, and I'm not a fan) and some paint scrapes on the RF fender from teh previous owner. I thought about putting a modest kit on it, but if I did anything with the body I'd probably go with the gt-four (I think) styling (I love that friggin' hood!). These things are already built to be beautiful cars, so I would appreciate mine staying that way. -------------------- |

I'm tempted to switch the guages to red now. Damn that looks smooth.

LOL. You've finally got the right ones coming in - don't back track now. Oh yeah I forgot the glove box is red now too.
BTW - A sharpie is extremly good for changing the color of the bulbs and or making a colored bulb more red [or whatever]. That's what I used for the cig, key, glove, ashtray, etc. -------------------- |

maybe that's what I'll do. Save myself the trouble of trying to track all these things down.
I'm gonna wait till I see the 5led super blues in the dash before I decide for sure... but yours look real solid. I like the polargs, but I thought they would honestly be brighter. I couldnt find even in the hanes manual how to get the bulb out for the key ring. -------------------- |

I can hardly see it. looks like the needles all the way right though. I don't think my poor little ST could handle all that quite yet.

133mph @ 7K RPM's. The ST only goes to 105 or 115 I think.
