Yeah I got 1st for lexus class. The dash was painted with SEM paint. The door panels were stripped down and re-wrapped with the black outside and grey suede inserts. The headliner was also re-wrapped. Matt and Ross asked me to go over there next week for the Maui show, but I cannot go cause I have my sister's wedding on that day.

what tranny are you using? where did you salvage your parts for the manual conversion (slave, pedals, etc)? I was thinking using SEM on the dash but I'm going to suede wrap it with red stitching and also Ima mod the ashtray to 'hide' the boost controler and im eliminating the clock and putting the turbo timer there then paint that whole piece the same color as the rest of the pieces. Yesca ur car looks good man!

Thanks..Tranny is R154 and the rest of the parts are custom fabricated to fit the car. There are a few posts on here with guys doing the 5 speed swap now.
