nothing else new, just trying to finish my interior.
and im jsut keeping the stock belts for now. im going to mount stock belt guides to the seats. aftermarket harnesses are actually illegal because the factory seat belt is designed to work in conjunction with the air bag. so a harness isnt going to work properly unless i rid of the airbag.

i was thinking about getting an aftermarket wheel like a momo or something. but i dont want to do that until i get harnesses too. but i should take out my pass airbag too then no? its not a race car, i do transport around with my wifey and i dont want her to get hurt either obviously.

its not to save weight. mostly for looks but im gonna keep the factory setup for now. like i said its not a full blown race car. i dont even race if i have someone with me. but im a very alert driver. i anticipate what other idiots are going to do before they hit me.
still waiting for seats to arrive...hurry up UPS!!!

haha hijacked your own thread. i deff down for meeting up and cruising out there. i just hope i still have a license. i have at least two court dates before then and both want to hit me with tickets that will suspend my license. not sure when the suspension will kick in either. sometimes its quick, sometimes a little slow. i'll let you know after that **** goes down.

Did you paint the bezel that contains the window, mirror and lock switches? If so, I'm DYING to know what color you used. I have ebony interior/trim also and I replaced that bezel on the driver's side, but I need to paint it. It comes in a standard, "unpainted" grey. Thanks

no i didnt paint the switch bezel, nor the handle bezel. mine are already black so i didnt bother. same techniques apply here though. CLEAN, dry, layer on some adhesion promoter which helps paint stick to plastic parts REALLY well, then lay on some color.
i am, however, thinking about painting the door handle bezel in NBM, not the switch bezel though, i think that looks good just black because its really shaped to look molded with the door grip.

carpet still has a bit of baking soda on it that i need to brush out to the surface and vacuum. but so far its coming along great. my seats will be here tomorrow.
i ordered the floor mats, silver gauge faces, and the chrome vent rings. after that the interior is pretty much done. i may try to get some cloth rear seats in the future just to fill it in back there but i still dont like driving people around like its a damn taxi.
