Default I Finally Did It! PICS!!!!!!

a while back i said i might put the carbon dash film on my console area. since school's out i finally found the time. I know it kind of bubbled. as you can see I'm not done. this was a test to see how it will look before i went all out with it.

and while i'm at it i might as well post pics of the rest of my car.
starting with the infamous dash needles. it's not too bad in this pic because i had just started the car. the needles are almost always fine when the car is freshly started. 91K miles.

Man, you should clear out your corner lenses. That would really complement your car's color well.

I absolutely HATED that! Solved the problem though when I got a new player.

where'd you get the carbon fiber?: is it a sticker or a sheet? did you paint your calipers yourself? if so, you can now buy cameleon paint in a spray can, so that people can paint their wheels. what exactly did you do to the fogs? your color is the same as mine, i take it you saw my clear corners though. oh yeah and where did you get the strut bar? how much clearance?

hehe, remember egainer back a few months ago i asked if carbon fiber doorhandles would look good and stuff? i said i had this carbon fiber looking sheet. imagine putting wallpaper on your wall. same thing. it's like a sticker sheet that you cutout and paste to your liking.
the calipers i did myself. i bought red caliper paint for about $40 from performance parts specialists and did it last summer.
my fogs are clear stock. i got this film stuff from japan and made it look like that. that's all.
my strut bar was off ebay but i found out the guy lives 10 minutes from me so i picked it up instead of paying $12 shipping. clearance is very minimal but i try to work around it. here i tried to take a pic of how the bar intereferes with the inside of the hood. the white stuff is where it hits.
if you got any other questions just ask
