show your dash kits
 

if you have any. i'd like to see some different ones. i'm not a big fan of the c/f dash from subaru ( looks like cheap c/f imitation plastic - big quality difference compared to the c/f of my motorcycle exhaust ). has anyone done a real aluminum dash kit instead of the colored plastic the stock car tries to imitate? i thought i saw some pics before of some color matched dash kits too. anything else out there thats cool? show me your dash kits ;)

Geez Jamie,
I've seen you post about safety before - why in the world would you remove your standard steering wheel to go bag less?

probably because she rallys? don't want airbags going off during that do ya?

MANY reasons...

i am much safer w/no airbag 8" from my chest, neck and face

i am 5' tall...
weigh..... well i dont weigh that much :D

and i have to sit very, very close to the steering wheel to reach the clutch...

so... it's in my best interest (and i have the proper Fed paperwork too) to turn off... or swap out the airbag....

there are exceptions to the rule...

azza matter of fact, when i totalled my GT...
the officer on site said... and i quote
"geez.... good think you took that airbag out...."
he said i would have been munched, likely injured -
in an accident that i walked away from with only bruises...

airbags are a necessity for most
but a hazard to some...

i am one of those exceptions i guess...
it's my moms fault i am so tiny!
she's only 4' 10" :lol:

;)

my bad. I forgot that "attach" works differently in this webforum from what I had in mind. Here it is, as long as the server is up, it should be ok:

Hey JBPolkAudio...how did you get the setup around your crossover? I have the Alpine 7977 and still trying to figure out how I wanna fill the hole up underneath it. However it was done, it looks mighty sweet!!

grandmasterchan: Na, that's the "King" momo shift knob. Got it off ebay (new) for pretty cheap

travman733: Thanks! A little wood and body filler, and a lot of sanding. I keep meaning to post a short of step-by-step thing, but I'm a lazy bastard. Basically I just cut out a piece of wood and molded it into the plastic with body filler, then sanded the whole thing, and then painted it. I had to re-paint the top vents because it didn't match perfectly.

lgkahn - Do yourself a favor and go buy the hard wire kit for your radar detector. No point in having that big ugly cord detract from your dash kit :)

PS - That blue looks pretty sweet on the doors.. don't know if I like it on the console though.

Hey, guys with the paint... how is that holding up for you? I've thought about it, but I don't want it to get screwed up and look worse... also, has anyone thought about painting the faces of the A/C and the radio?
