Yeah, it faded on the rear deck behind the rear seat. I got most of the materials at (I think) Hancock Fabrics in Gaithersburg. In the shopping plaza on 355 with the Ihop. As soon as you walk in it's on the left.

I got them in a trade with my boy Al (beez43) for labor on his headlights.

Nice work on the car man, looks very nice. I love the TRD setup, rear LED's, spoiler, etc...

Yeah, when my deck faded it looked greenish. Let me know if you ever need anything else. You know I'll hook it up as best as I can. When you stop by, make sure you bring the Camaro. I used to have a turbo 5.0 Mustang myself. It wasn't a 9sec car though.

Yeah i def call you, i need a few other things soon. Camaro unfortenatly is sittin at the shop with no motor, i fried #3&5 piston. Buttom end is put toghether and has new heads on it. Its a high compression nitrous motor now but i've had this car for 11+ years i weighted all my options and decided i'm going to part with it. With this economy i just cannot keep blowing money on something that guranteed to blow up sonner or later. Car made 725rwhp through a TH400 and 9" on very conservetive Alterds Dyno. It traped 118mph in the 1/8th but ufortenatly i couldnt leave on boost the car was a 9. teen if i could ever get the suspension right on it. At this point i would be just happy with something that has 400rwhp and has a/c and dosent require race gas, i already have a fast bike.

I got the swap from here http://www.japandirectjapanese.com/home.php
It took me 2 weeks to do the swap (2 weekends and about 1.5 hrs each week night) & yes it WAS a 400. I will be posting details of the pin swapping madness soon. But for now....

Yeah, Saturday was busy. I was welding the exhaust and dodging rain showers most of the day. It feels much quicker off the line in normal driving but I havn't boosted much do to a coworker driving over one of my intake pipes and cracking it. I have duct tape covering the crack and electrical tape covering the duct tape. You can see it in the pic right before the TB. I got one pull with both turbos going and the tape blew through. Now you and Jeff need to finish up so we can hit the track.
