No offense taken. However they are billet aluminum and have never fallen of in 2 years including raceway events and severe daily driving. I do want to get realy nice pedals some time in the future. Thank you for the compliment.

Default Custom radio install

Here is my pioneer deck custom installed in brushed Aluminum.

Now I need to do the headlight switch plate, HVAC controls & speedo benzel.
Im also gonna paint my speaker grills, vent sorroundings & pillar vents in Aluminum. Hopefully it will all tie in together & look great. Too much of a plastic look all stock. My interior is also tan & the color of the dash(no quite what i would call black) Im planning on dying the doors & dask black except the perferated material in the middle of the door. I will also dye all the back plastic panels & hatch pannels. I think it will look great with the aluminum accents & custom tan & black interior.

MAJOR UPDATE 7/27/05
Dash transition piece is in, stereo is in, and here are some videos of my Autometer gauges in action as promised.
I took the original 69 Camaro defroster vents and put them in the center of this piece I made out of 20 gauges steel. I might eventually cover it in leather. All gauges work 100%!!
Will you still sell the center piece to hold the Autometer gauges? I LOVE this!

im not gonna use silver. Im gonna use plastikote aluminum paint. I know how to prep the plastic & how to wet sand so it will look good. Im even thinkin bout goin with the MacEwen silver faced overlays now. Then I will get a small Aluminum dask trim kit to finish it off.

I used a 300m shift ****. Plan on wrapping the radio bezel and shift plate "drive,reverse,neutral, ect". clear coated center console. And I'm going to get a GTO 5.7 Liter emblem for the dash. I also want to do rings around air vents, but dont know where or how to make those.
