...Great work man keep it up.

I see you did the same I did with the Di-noc on the doors and stuff. Just one bit of advice. You should make sure the pattern follows on both the black and silver. I'm about to fix some pieces on mine and thought about doing the silver too but I just dunno I think it might be a bit too bright for me. I was thinking of using the gunmetal color instead.
Loving the work though everything is coming together nicely!

I'm pretty sure he had the silver pattern weave in a different direction.
I mean, DM took the time to make sure every little bit of vinyl lined up perfectly... even the silver vinyl lines up perfectly with the black [but going the opposite direction]

LED Conversion
Hey DM,
AMAZING TRANSFORMATION! Loved reading through your thread...crazy question and I'm sure you've been asked before but what would it take for you to do a complete LED interior swap for me? I'm not looking to add footwell lighting anything like that just buttons swapped out. If it's something you might be interested in PM me.
Thanks!

Also DM have either you or Mad tried putting an led in the 360 degree button on the Navi? Sorta like our radio's volume and sound knobs. Pretty sure it'd be sick looking!

We're in the forthcoming weeks... 
Any plans of doing anything performance-wise?

Alright, fair enough. While I wish I could prioritize on the TL right now, there are a few things that need to be tended to. Let's take a gander.
First off, it's SPRING, although here in NJ, you sure as hell would not know this. For those lacking a green thumb, Spring marks the all-important planting season, so I need to kick everything in to high gear if I want to get my hedges and flowers in early. I started last weekend and will finish up this one, weather permitting. This year I am going all out with the yard, so there's a fair amount of work to be done...hopefully in 2 weeks, this will be 100%
Next up we have some thing going on inside. I have about 150' worth of picture frame moulding that needs to go in the entrance foyer and up the stairs, but I can't even start on this because it's too effing cold to paint. Grrrrr...
...besides, this is only a PARTIAL delivery, still have more things en route.
The dog is making sure things remain delayed through the theft of my work gloves.
...as if that wasn't enough, my wife and I are trying for a child, which sounds like fun, but is really fucking exhausting after a long time. Doc appts galore, FTMFL. Top this off with a cutting diet that leaves you tired as hell at the end of the day, your work is relegated to the weekend (or at least until my T3 and Clen arrive)
FINALLY...the president will be at my work tomorrow for a town hall meeting. See y'all bishes on CNN.

We'll see. If anything, I might do some performance modifications next year, maybe a j-pipe and the PCDs...we'll see how my bonus stacks up next year and what type of other priorities need to be fulfilled first.
Thanks, man...glad you enjoyed it!
I think this final round is going to be just about the end of things. While there are other mods I COULD do, I really am looking forward to closing this chapter of my hobbies and moving on to some other things. I keep putting off grad school...
lol, thanks man...but we're a good ways away from the little one. We're doing IUI now, I'll openly admit I cannot produce swimmers for shit in spite of being in excellent health.

Damn, this thread's been an inspiration. I mean I've always been a DIY'er, but I'm nowhere near as diligent as you are. Keep up the good work. Oh, and good taste in music.

Time for an update of this bad boy, eh? With winter approaching a a kid on the way, DM is winding down the days of modifications in preparation of the little one on the way. BUT, there's still activity coming from the DM camp, so let's refresh where we are and keep things a bit up to snuff!!! Here's the latest pics

Also, have a new one here, decided to wrap the clock console to complete the look
Since this is nothing but selfless whoring, might as well detail a personal DIY
