Looks like you died the leather and vinyl black too. I was going to do this a long time ago but figured it would be a major pain in the ass. Did you do everything yourself and how long did it take?
It looks amazing
Great job!

I love it bro. That shit looks tight. Did you buy any shift knob and slap it on or did you have to rethread the pspec? I was pretty sure that the PSPEC was same threading as a CL shifter, but I was never certain.

yeah, i remember everyone saying all that madness about the pspec....look, just to settle all the disputes, the pspec shifter fitted my stock shift know just fine, i tried it and was all good but i love the MOMO EVO shift know, always have, so i put that one in, but to get it to fit properly with the pspec boot they give you i had to remove the metal grommit installed on the boot(its just tied on there with a pull-tie) after that i folded it down and it fit snuggly and perfectly around the momo......and the paint is duplicolor.....silver t229(it just happen to match the shift knob perfectly, and btwl....no i didnt dye my leather, that is the color stock......

Just did mine, and it took me about an hour, only cuz I took my time, and had removed my gauges already to do my bezel and rings so I knew how to get it all apart, but it's really easy if you follow the guides.

I used 6 led wedge bulbs from www.superbrightleds.com but they are a bit too brght, the place where the 4 bulbs are located glow brighter than the rest of the gauges, I will post a pic tonight, think i'm gonna drop down to 4 led bulbs and see if it's any better.

yeah, dont waste your time black ac, when i was doing mine one of the bulbs wasnt plugged in properly and there was a very dim section in my guages, im sure if you dont use the 4 way leds then it wont look right, that's what the dimmer is for anyways, i just keep mine about half way dimmed, looks tits!

Dimmer switch good idea I still think I'll end up goin with the 4 way led's, I have 6 led straight bulbs, and the majority of the light is concentrated on the 4 spots where the bulbs sit. I knew I should have used multiple way leds
