Ryeno I think dodge intrepid fog lights would look better and i am not feeling the white on white cluster, kinda hard to read if you ask me. Besides that the car is clean
i just like the stock fogs cause they don't pop out as much as the clear dodge ones, i like that subtle look.. the white cluster is pretty easy to read, it's somewhat dim during the day but looks awesome at dusk and at night, i wanted to do all white after seeing most of the new lex's have all white gauges, and i think it kinda updates the look.. I almost went all red though..

thanks for your comment though, all opinions and comments are welcome .


StiCk3 looks a lot more simplistic and subtle without the CF look. I love it.

What kind of steering wheel is that? RX300?
it's actually a oem 3 spoke from a 2000 SC400/300 and the airbag is from a 99 GS300.

Dodge Intrepid fogs? Seriously?

I love my white on white cluster, I was going for blue needles on white but after seeing the white on white in the RX I opted to go with that instead.

Nice job on the paint paco, are you leaving it shaved front and rear? I think it looks better shaved all around. When I had my car repainted I had it shaved all around for a couple months then got tired of answering questions about my 'solara' so I put the rear badge back on. I'm thinking of taking it off again...

wow car looks so complete man But I think your car looks to good for those photoshop style pics of the exterior it kinda takes away from your car. Also i love your cluster color combo is everything still functional like it shouild be. I heard your were having some problems with that ?

paints pretty glossy since it's fresh but the polarizing filter in PS gave it alot more relection i guess.. almost looks anodized lol..

Yeah i feel bad for changing my mind about the trunk swap but that metal hood i ended up getting was worthless (had some damage) and once i decided to paint the CF hood i figured i'd keep the trunk too.

yeah the cluster is fine, i had some customer service issues, and i thought it looked a little dim during the daytime, but overall it turned out good. I'm definetly feeling the white on white, that with the 3 spoke wheel i feel really updated my interior, i think the steering wheel made my whole car feel different, the bigger 4 spoke wheel sucks..
