Updated [PICS] Colored HVAC *****, Cobalt Gauges, Pilot Fogs, etc... Updated
Finally got around to hijacking a camera from work (although a crappy one) and took some pics.
FIRST: I KNOW my car is dirty as all hell.
Ok, heres what you will see:
Pilot 2028 Fog Lights
Navy Blue Colored Clear HVAC *****
Autometer Cobalt Gauges in a 3 Gauge pillar pod.
Manual Fan switch wires
Fuel Pressure gauge sender and wires
BMR Strut tower bar
Directflo Lid
RKSport Sport Wing
Blackouts
!Grill
and maybe a few others I'm forgetting.
Anyways, Clicky
Update:
Snapped a quick vid of the cobalt gauges:

Nice choice in guages!...I just put in a set of cobalt guages in my car as well(boost and fuel pressure). They look amazing at night, I just have one question for you. On the sending unite for the fp, I noticed its a pipe thread. What fitting did you use to screw a 4an braided line to the sending unite.

almost, the fuel rail is a male -4an and the sender is a male 1/8" NPT thread. My setup has three parts:
-4an female : -4an female straight
-4an male : 1/8"npt male 90* elbow
1/8"npt female : 1/8"npt female straight
Throw those together with some teflon sealer (not tape) and screw onto the sender and rail. You need a little tool to get the schrader valve out of the fuel rail, its like 1.50 at any autoparts store.
*****When you undo this valve, make SURE the car is OFF (DUH)
and also note that there WILL be fuel coming out of it. Mine just dribbled out. *****

Thanks Steve. I made them. The stock 97+ ***** are clear if you peel off the rubber. I then soaked them in boiling RIT dye, and voila (sp)! Im gonna work on getting blue leds for the HVACs so they glow bright blue at night (and to match the cobalt).
onebadz - Its a love/hate relationship with the wing for most people. I personally think it gives the car more of a "sport" look instead of a "muscle" look.
To the people who are thinking rice, check out the Supra and Commando wings
