Ordered this earlier this week. It'll look better in person. The gray is going to be silver and the blue will be pearl blue.

Yup.

I had them change it significantly for me. As you can see I added some Euro flare to it plus the numbers had to be laid out in a radial pattern in order to accommodate the pearl blue band around the outer circumference of the dials. I opted for a "cooler" color with pearl blue instead of the "angry" pearl red. The pearl red would look great as well esp. in the keeping with the Pontiac theme for you Solstice owners.

Yeah - missed that myself! Just ask him, he's got it in his stock images and will put it in (if not too late)...

Too late. I think. No big deal. Nice icon though.

Who the hell stole all the leaves off your trees?

Those are those new Pot trees, they were developed for people that hate to rake leaves. With these new trees the neighborhood teens pick up the leaves for you and you don't even have to pay them.

PS those aren't Jim's trees he's just holding them for a friend.

Sweet set-up! Really transforms the look of the car!

It really does look sharp Rudy. The fact that you are looking to offer the parts primed or painted means they'll be easy for all to install on their car.

Post information in your vendors section and get 'em out there!

I mounted my DDM OCC today. I'm using all Chrome Fittings and Braided steel lines .Still looking for covers for the bands. I also put a Valve in for draining .Not Finished YET. PICTURES to follow when complete.

I put 140 miles on in perfect weather with a fellow KP member!

Welcome back Rudy, that nose is looking good.

I drove down to Joe's and dropped off my POZER nose.

I have shaved doors with a solenoid release. Last summer my battery died with the top and windows up, and I couldn't get in the car to pop the hood.

Sooo, today I began rigging a hidden cable door release from the latch to the base of the door mirror. Twist the mirror to reveal the cable. Grab the cable and pull to open the door in an emergency. I hope to finish it later this week.

Wouldn't it be easier to have a remote location to plug in a battery charger? Like a pigtail directly to the battery?
