The last pic with the 3 body styles is a real keeper.

Wow! I must say that you guys have done a great job complimenting your MY exterior with MY interior seat, door panel, and, console trim accents. Well done! Enjoy!

I'm relieved you all agree. 
Im glad I went with this choice.
One more thing to go and Ill be done. Im currently fabricating the padded leather covering for custom hoops. After searching for someone who could make the tubes for me I finely found someone. I decided to get 2.25 inch hoops made and will use either 1/2 in. or 1 in. padding and then the leather. The tubes look mean when set behind the seats.
I cant wait to get them finished and see them installed with the yellow leather. They will be as close a match as I can get to look like the ones sold online for 695.00. The same leather used on the interior will be used on the hoops. Ill post pics when I get them done.

Was yours a core exchange? Where did you get it? I like it... Where did you get those interior chrome piece done? I've never seen them done in chrome before. Unique. I see you also have the back of the gauge bezel done too... I like that.

[QUOTE=iflex2_fitness]yes, i know i need the stickers . ive seen this one and the airbag 3d sticker on ebay. do the members here get a discount. i keep trying to convince myself that its not crazy to pay 25.00 for a sticker. ive been trying to convince myself for a while now.

yes, core exchange.. its not just painted. the pieces go through a process in which there is a fiberglass type material bonded on top of the origional dash pieces, then its painted and sanded twice and finished off with a clear coating that gives the paint extreme depth. it feels and looks much like that of glass, but thicker. i wouldnt have just had it painted. i could of done that myself.
im very happy with the end result.
yes, it maybe a little to much yellow for some, but overall the responce has been very positive.
in the end, as long as i like it, thats what really matters to me.
how about posting a couple photos? would love to see how you did yours.

jeremy at fred beans said they do sell the millenium yellow in the spray can. i did ask if the paint dried in a high gloss. i find the sprays dry dull and thats not what i wanted. he said i could use the clearcoat over it.
ive tried that before also with the oem black on my previous car. even with the clear topcoat it was still dull.
seems like there would be a spray paint to match all car colors that we could buy . of all things, arent we just talking about spray paint???
i think of it being compared to the light bulb. we have the technology to make a bulb that never burns out but dont because of all the money that would be lost by big businesses.
something as simple as a gloss finish factory paint in a spray can.......wonder why they dont have it?? theres a ton of spray paint for every other use we can think of, and in every finish too.
automotive spray paint thats high gloss. nope, cant get it....
i dont understand.
