Default The few things I've done to my ride!

I am posting what I have done to my 95 es300 since I've had it ( a month and a half). This is a pic of my shifter. I think it kicks a$$ plus its the only nice one I've seen with an o/d button. One more thing, I am doing all of the mods myself (college student w/girlfriend, don't have an abundance of money) and really enjoy working on this car. If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask. Will be putting up more pics on this thread tonight (trying to get a good pic of my internal neons). Any input is appriciated.

I'm sure everyone on this thread has seen this a million times but I'm proud of myself.

Talking

You got some nice touches to your ride. I have a '96 ES (coach edition), and though my interior is completely stock, I love seeing the extra mods people have done to the interior, especially on an ES.

Tell me if I'm seeing this correctly, but your speed/odometer gage cluster in the dark illuminates a white light. Did you change the bulbs in the gage cluster to achieve the white light? Pretty cool to see this kind of mod on a 92-96 ES

Very nice. The NEONs are a sweet mod.

Can you drop some details on the wood kit (where you purchased it from, price, etc..)?

Default wood kit

I got it on ebay for about 120$ with shipping included. I'm sure there is still one on there, dont let the pic of the new lex fool you, just an example. It was pretty simple to install to.

Default I wish

It is simply the camera making it appear that way, but if I can change the lights on the cluster than blue or purple would be the way I'd go (a very bright blue or purple). Thats actually a pretty good idea, can it be done? someone please get back with info on difficulty if is actually possible.

Tight neons man.. I want my car to be like that. All I have is one of those 15" tubes plugged into the smoke thingy.

Default steering wheel

I bought the steering wheel from cyberyde (my friends car shop), its a grant (not the solid wood one) clip on, but he only charged me around $45. I'm pretty sure he hooked me up. I also bought my neons from him for $90 including the add on box which allows me to make the neons go with the music (were plug-in ones but I modded them to run off of my car cigarette lighter, not visabley of course). I just ordered a reactive intake from him today and that's $80. Oh yeah, he sold me the shifter also and that was about $90. Some stuff he hooks me up on real good, and other stuff I allow him to make his money on.

is the wheel glued on, or can you remove it? Does it slide any?
