Default sunday mods

did a bunch this past weekend...

-first was deleted the driving lights and wired them to my fogs, so now my fogs are my driving lights and flash, ill try and get a video... i think it cleans up the side vents. also posted in stereo and electronics

-working on white accent interior, center console, and painted black parts as well

-new wal-mart shift ****. real leather, love the feel/grip. had to drill out a little bit, but fit great, and $60 cheaper than an slp!

-black tail vinyls from after thoughts auto. though they need to look up the definition of 'gloss,' lol

-just vht'd the 3rd brake and four corners,

-new custom mesh is coming tomorrow... and maybe a true satin ceta

any thoughts???

Car looks good! How hard is it to paint the center console? What kind of paint did you use?

i have become a huge fan of rattle can epoxy paint, for appliances! great chip resistance, heat resistance, nice finish, etc. i dis-assembled, cleaned with dish soap and a brush, taped off the cup holder, sprayed and cleared with krylon gloss clear. the black pieces i do not use clear, seems to not chip/scratch as easy as the white
