Looking at how the FD shift boot is setup around the plastic, I think your best bet would be a U-shaped chrome piece that could be attached around the plastic and then the boot attached. As long as the part that shows is smooth, it should look good

 

I have a climate control relocation fetish.

Your car will have my children.

 

Great job. Well done. Waiting to see them installed.

 

Looks nice. Do you have a CD player? I ask because with the gauges on the top DIN, it's difficult to put CD's in. Great job though!

 

scary but I was thinking the same thing since I used to have my CD player on the bottom panel and switched to the top for that very reason.

 

i have one of those neat cd players that has a tray that pops out like a computer (it's a sony), so that won't be an issue...looks great actually, will take some installed pics probably tomorrow, no time to work on it today...school and what not

 

someone buy me some defi link series and i'll post installed pics, lol

 

Nice work!

 

looks good! can't wait for the installed pics.

 

 

and yes, i'm missing gauges, i am saving up for the defi link system, and the smaller gauge up top will be installed within the next week

 

I really like the idea of gauges where the CDplayer was...I was just thinking about that space yesterday, especially since I'm using MP3 for all of my audio.
The ashtray replacement is brilliant.
Any worries about spills or moisture?

 

I love the way the dash looks and that you had the guts to pull it off. Well done!

I have been looking for a shift **** (round ball on top) like yours and my momo one just looks wierd. what kind are you using?

 

sparco

 

give us an update when u install it!!

and good **** man!!!

nice work

mike

 

it's installed!

 

Did you run into any issues with the climate controls bottoming out? I made one of those panels once and sold it on ebay instead of using it on my car so I never got to see how the clearances were. Any pix of the underside tp share?
Off topic I have the same head unit and the panels all look really good. Nicely done.

 

yeah, you have to get creative by making the buttons fixed, nothing a dremel tool and a little time can't fix, no pics of underside, i'll take some eventually

girlfriend bought me the headunit, i like the mp3 ****

 

I am thinking of putting in the S2000 starter button and was wondering,
does the button or lettering light up at night?

 

looks good....why didnt you go w/ carbon? I heard sung is set up to do it down there

 

Nice look I have been wanting to do this but I want to pay someone to do the whole relocation of ac and everything because i am bad when it comes to making stuff look good. So if you know anyone that does this let me know.

 

Looks incredible and I love the s2000 starter setup how did you mold that stuff in and how did you get rid of the cruise and light pop up switch. Looks great wanna do that as well but I wanna lay it in carbonfiber or paint it just like yours to match my exterior which is black. Let me know if that is something that i can do.

 

carbon is too "busy" for my eyes, especially in the interior

i just wanted something simple and 'elegant'

the buttons were molded out with fiberglass, PM me if you're interested in getting it done

 

Looks awesome. A little bit too shiny for my taste, but the orientation of everything looks great. That starter button gets cooler every time I see it. Nice work

 

picz no worky
