INTERIOR

April 23, 2006: I am currently changing my interior from tan to black. Pics of the newly prepped black dashboard. I cleaned every nook and cranny of the dashboard, remove the old fading aluminum panel. Thanks to my friend Mike Roxas (Micro) for sending me those spectacular brushed aluminum finish dash kit! Fitting is perfect!(By the way he is selling those if you guys are interested I can hook you up). I air sprayed my instrument cluster, changed the old bulbs of to brighter LEDs! then I cleaned the clear plastic window with dishwashing soap and put on some Mother's plastic polish then buffed to hide light scratches and make the plastic crystal clear!
