Nice work, I am thinking of painting my console area a similar colour when I get around to it lol. Just one thing though, not sure if those stickers on the mirrors are legal. Hope you dont get pinged for them.:redface:

Remove that **** from your rear vision mirrors mate, they are there for a reason :doubt:

What's with your battery too, 11.5V? Bit low... look into it :confused:

Other than that, you're doing well... Turbo it pls.

The side mirrors look awesome, don't think they are a wise choice. A cool choice, not nessacarily a wise choice.

Coming along very nicely mate!

no worries mate
na its not a silly question at all,i get asked it all the time,its just the normal gear stick cut down,but there was alot of customizing to get it like that,so its a custom short shifter:P

it looks like it is TOO low, how is the practicality?

it was manly designed so the ppl in the back could watch the tv in the front with out the gear stick being in the way,it doesnt make my car go faster,but its easier when changeing gears.

-Dont like the gear knob.. looks odd
-Get one of those battery powered lint removers for your seats
-I would of swapped the position of decks and screen. Screen can be moulded flush with the console and the decks with seedy buttons and screens hide out of the way where the lighter is.
-Pull the tint and stickers off the mirrors. Asking for a defect and insurance definitely wouldn't pay out.
-Lose dash mat
-Paint storage console lid?

and i like my dash mat thanks,i spent 100 bucks getting it custom made
is there a thread anywhere to paint the storage console lid?and is it just vinyl paint i would use?

looks pretty nice, i think checker plate looks tacky but it ties in pretty well with the look, shifter looks rediculously short, audio gear looks good, paint looks nice and you may aswell retrim your doors while youre at it

Looks good, I like the short shifter!

but why 6x9s in the front doors? doesn't it sound a little undefined with no main stage front speekers (splits?)

well it is kinda illegal to have things on ur side rear view mirrors (that also includes those concave(?) mirrors that stick on the inner edge of the mirror)... can u see thru the tint? looks good but pretty illegal

overall tho, ur doin a great job on the car mate! :)

well when i first sprayed the whole kit and colour coded the sides that was 600 bucks
depends who you go to,some ppl will rip you off,local panel beaters are the best bet if your low on budjet also depends how big your body kits are,your looking between 500-700 bucks anymore and i think your getting ripped off.
