Yeah, winter means NOTHING gets done really. The tails were the only that that I worked on during the winter because I could do so indoors :/

This stuff is synthetic/faux suede, so it should hold up to weather and sunlight pretty well ;)

Cluster is just modified to light up pruple, it doesn't look any different than stock during the day. I'll get some more pics tonight. My scangauge is back in, and everything is purplefied now :D

Engine bay is pretty much done too. Just need to get the coilover upper mounts powder coated or anodized. The red ain't cuttin' it in my bay at this point.

Soon. Just gotta get my buddy together for a photoshoot. I sort of suck at taking pictures, and my camera isn't exactly anything to write home about.

The engine bay looks real good... Is everything painted flat or semi gloss? Cuz some looks semi and some look flat...

That IS a custom gauge overlay right? I don't recall my fuel gauge having fractional markings on it...

thanks everyone!

The intake, trans cover, and motor mount are painted with Krylon flat black, VC and intake mani are a satin powder coat.

SRT clusters measure it with fractions.
