I thought it would be a neat idea one time to place the drivers side window control in that spot. You could put custom door panels on or have the manual window panels put on and reupholstered. It would be kind of like a miata but it would be a little more modern. Of course it would require some re-wiring. Just an idea

"Island of the Woman BuK? "


Yeah it was another one of those Cancun wild weekends. Isle of Mores' (woman) and that was Pepe the friendly shark. Friendly or not he still was 200lbs and when I was holding him and he wanted me to let him go he just flipped his tail and I could not even come close to keeping him up out of the water. I fly out of bwi to cancun air & hotel with all inclusive for $299. I can spend that in one drink tab here in DC.

Sorry of topic

"seriously... make a dash."



Yeah I thought about that but it would have to be made into 2 pieces. Which could be kinda tricky but thats a winter project.

well we were at the shop playing around last night and finished a template for a CF rad panel. I think I will do mine in that red CF I have wanted to play with for a while now. And we started mocking up a S4 and S5 universal CF lip/canard. Here are some ruff pics.

My panel is different in my s5 vert. I do not have the security button, but in its place I have a switch for the vert top.


Are any of these CF panels available still?
Any pics yet?

the top button is up on the speedometer cluster. I moved mine to a toggle switch to this panel like the s5 vert. And it doesn't really matter if everyones panel is different that why I made them blank. You can put what ever you want on their or nothing at all. I plan to relocate all that BS except my vert top switch into the glove box. I will have some pics next week.

no the apillar thing we already tried. first you cant ever get them off without braking them and even if you did you couldn't get CF ones back on because CF will not bend a little like plastic will.

Lets just stick to the easy stuff before we go re-engineering a 20 year old interior.
