Also, since this is a pretty unique mod and hchhon seems to be working hard on this, I'm going to set this to sticky for a little while. I'll remove my sticky about the PM box and replace it with this

I'm only going to leave this sticky for a limited time... so if you're interested in this mod (and it does look cool), please act quickly!!

Thanks all

hchhon... do u think it would be possible to make an aluminum gauge bezels like the ones here: http://www.ap-signworks.com/retail/l...p?idCategory=9

man if u could do that... you would have a line of orders from here to the end of your block. and ofcourse if you priced it around say $50-$70 the line would be longer. i may be asking for a little too much but hey... its worth a try. i bet it would look kick a$$.

Snapple,
Are you Yen Tom? If you don't want to use glue try double sided tape.
Nicely wrap the duoble sided tape around the ring.

i THINK you have to remove the door panel to install the door locks. also... to take the stock ones off is a b!tch. i scratched one of mine up badly trying to take it off.

I'm always impressed with your work hchhon. If I wasn't in the middle of getting my car lemoned I'd order both from you. Maybe after the dust settles and if you still have them around I'll drop a line then
