I have been thinking of that cause at the moment I dont really want to ever sell the car. Obviously that could always change down the road but I have put so much work into it myself I want to keep it no matter what car I go to next. However I will always still street drive it though some or else that would never be any fun.

But yeah selling the airbags would yield a lot of money for mods. Would at least pay for my brake setup I want to get.

Why didn't you just go ahead and convert to the Euro dash while you were at it?

or

For the true JDM look a RHD conversion?

It couldn't have been too much more work, however, maybe the funtionality of the intrumentation would have been a potential issue?

Nice man. I would have done the same if I got a PWP in 04 or 05 flavors...since those did not come in ebony. I attempted a black interior mod on my previous car...a 4runner...it involved alot of sloppy painting. Give you props though...love the seats. Since I haven't modded my car much...I may sell it for a manual PWP later on. Or swap if I become too attached. Hope you put up a thread about it when you plan on doing it. Nice job again...

thing is you dont need the airbag to put under the seat. you need to put airbag control unit from in the seat. if you were to put the actual airbag under the seat that would be dangerous.

nope weather has sucked recently so havent had a chance to do a real shoot yet. the wheels are coming off soon too cause I am putting the JPs back on as the car is going to the PA Auto & Boat Show and I figure those would be better fitting for that type of event and crowd.

Great work, I don't have patience for that type of job. Not a fan of the wheels but I guess its a different look. I guess it needs to be seen in person to really appreciate the contrast.

well obviously they don't flow with the rest of the car, but the rarity of them and just the "wow" factor of them make them awesome, in my opinion. i think they look great. in pictures, it kind of just looks like you tweaked the hue settings on the wheels

They dont flow cause of color or wheels style. Moving more towards race setup and hopefully an MT swap this coming winter.
