I try to keep her pretty clean, lol. New pics with my Grant Classic walnut steering wheel, Christmas present from the parents. Really sets off my interior! Just ignore the dirty floormats, lol...
And I can't fool people into thinking I had an A/C, lol. Marked out where the "A/C" writing was.
My good friend on GMN here sent me an LTD dash emblem for the Deuce, and I noticed it just had double stick tape to hold it on with, so I took my paint scraper and gently slid it up under mine, and was able to pop/scrape/pry it off. The cool thing is, that there's an exact outline of where the LTD emblem goes, since it's shorter than the "LTD Crown Victoria" emblem. But you also can't really notice unless you point it out. I used the Crown Vic emblem in the picture to show the backing on the emblems... it was also the only emblem left that said "Crown Victoria" on it, so I was relieved to have it removed.
I painted the LTD emblem like the original one, it was all silver (also faded from age) but I didn't want the silver to clash with the rest of the dash. When I cleared it, the black "cracked" and it actually turned out looking good.
I've also gotta show off my dash plaques from the two cruise in's from 2008.
The wiring for the CD player was a pain in the ass. Had to rewire EVERYTHING, literally (Including all speaker wires being replaced). Going from an AM/FM radio to a brand new CD player takes a lot of effort. But the result is well worth it.
I'm running a JVC unit, really goes well with the silver trim lines all around the dash. It also matches the red guage lighting, which it was hard enough to find a headunit that did so.
Installed some new speakers too, tired of my old ones. Have 2-way 4" Scoche's and 4-way Panasonic's in the stock locations now, sounds amazing. Cut out the holes on the rear deck, so you can see the 6x9's up on top of it. Installed some bass inhibitors on the 6x9's, that way all the bass comes from my subs. (Yes, those are Jensen covers on Panasonic speakers, lol, they fit.)
Got a Cobra 11-band Radar Detector too, on sale for $60. Won't drive without one, lol.
Replaced the stock green guage lighting with red lighting, had to take apart the clock and the speedometer to do so, but dang it looks sweet. The red really sets off the inside of the car from the other Vics I've seen. I also finally got my 140 speedometer, after four years of searching. I painted the trim around the odometer and fuel gauge silver to match the dash, painted the dials orange, and since the cable for the gear selector was cut and I plan on converting the car to floor shift, I simply smoothed off the letters and numbers on the gear selector plate and repainted it black. Put a chrome 3 guage set with the white guages too. Switched all the lighting in them to red aswell, to match my lighting in the rest of the guages.
