yeah well i wanted something different, i still use my glovebox and i didn't want to hit it every time i shift on the center console.

if i had to do it again, i would do it different probably.

i just wanted to be innovative.

Looks like a real early James Bond car with all those red switches and roof controls.

Are those recovered stock seats or are they just original cloth?

I like the dash. I have the peeling 93' dash and have been thinking of going with the metal look. Do you paint these your self or take them somewhere? what would you estimate for the cost? how does the paint hold up against the occasional seat belt stab or other wear?

TIA

looks good.

did you move the climate controls and re-upholster the interior yourself? i'm very interested in mounting something in the headliner/visor.

Looks good, what's with the HKS sticker (Don't think thats the HKS IC duct, eh ) What is that blue thing where the cig lighter used to be? I dig the red flip top switches! What do they do? What type of O2 sensor are you using and is there a bad 3k hesitation...something I'm trying to work out.

TIA if you answer any of these Q's

Anyone repainted in a "flat" black like the original (to fix the peel but keep the stock look)?

I just KNOW there is an ejector seat switch in there somewhere. Probably between the switches that control the rear oil slick sprayers and the machine gun.

The blue was - well - different. (really different) I kinda' miss it! You were way ahead of your time.

When you are ready for another change I carry Ultrasuede Brand fabric.....and yes, it does come in about 10 shades of blue!

Don't think so...the start button is to the right of that...I think it's like Ron Miller said...Oil slick sprayers or the machine gun or probably the ejection seat.

I think it looks much better! The blue was a little much, but it's cool you tried something different. Do all of those switches have a purpose, or are they just for fun?
