PICS! OMG PICS!
Had the tails converted to LEDs last week (Y) And smoked the tails while I'm at it. I'm loving the look so far (Y)

Looking HOT!! Love the smoked tailz!
looks good dooode
Very nice, looks like they light up nice & consistant, and the smoking has factory subtlety.
Love it.
Yeah exactly the look I was going for (Y) Not a fan of dark smoke myself and the LEDs are made so they would light up the whole housing instead (Y) No dots visible even!Originally Posted by 79cord
OMG Hazwan!
Your car is looking awesome!
Tell me one thing, the EG brakes needed too much adaptation?
They'll fit the original 13" steelies?
13" wheels will clear the calipers, but 4x100 stud pattern rules out the original 4x120 wheels.
Yeah they require the 4x100 conversion first
Very sexy car! Wow!

So I was bored the other day and was looking for something cheap/free that I could do so I've decided that I wanted my tweeters in the A-pillar. I know, random mods ftw but yeah PICS:
They never came with any mounting base so I had to fabricate one from a... 2" PVC pipeIt fits perfectly! and obviously the A-pillar trims were cut.
Time to glass them on!
I need in car pics but they sounded good
Sweet man! Is that actually fiberglass or just resin? Either way, that looks great!
They're actually one of those fiberglass in a can thing, so much easier to work on on smaller stuff like this and way stronger than straight up body filler. It would be better if you use the actual cloth + resin for bigger area though.
Not bad for something I spent like uh.. nothing hmm?
Oh yeah that stuff! Sweet! Looks good!
Beautiful car and I like that tweeter mod. What did you use to re-coat the a-piller trims to look so close to stock?
Nothin' 2 Old Racing
Bedliner spray LOL they're a bit too rough though
Nice work!
Thank you sir (Y)
I see you finally joined here
Post up pics!
^^^ He did post pics!
I sure did, and don't worry, with as few 1gs that are out there I'm going to be a picture whore about it too!
YES! This is what we like to hear!!!
Can you knock it down a little with sandpaper?

I did it once when I had my dash resprayed, not too happy with the finish. It looks nowhere near the factory texture. I really need to find a proper texture paint locally. I need to redo my dash as some of the cracks came back in several areas (N)
I had my Mercedes 190 dash reupholstered and looks brand new. Also the texture is just like the original one.
So many reasons why

I don't wanna pay people to get it done xD I know it can be done with proper materials and stuff but meeeeeeeeeh I can never be satisfied with other people's work (N)
I think experience is important to do this but with some practice you can do it. You need The vinyl (the thin one), a heat gun, industrial glue, gloves? (you dont want to burn your fingers), some filling material for the cracks, sandpaper to smooth everything and to assure proper glue adhesion, cutting blade, another dash to practice (or something alike) how much you can stretch the vinyl and how to avoid wrinkles, how to apply the glue evenly, etc.
Remember that new vinyl over the old one will make the openings in the dash thicker and will be more difficult to reinstall fresh air vents and stuff, i think is better to remove all the old vinyl without damaging the sponge-like material underneath to achieve original thickness.
