I like the interior pieces. Reminds me of a crispy-on-the-edges sugar cookie. That paint job is trippy man. If I saw that on the road it would definitely catch my attention. Not sure if I like it or not yet. Good work over all.

Man everytime I see his car... I just

My wife got pissed one night because I spent so much time looking at it. His car gave me the idea for the hood scoop I'm working on. I'm almost ready to start on it... I just need word back if this company can make it in the dimensions I want.

If they can't do it...

I get to try and make it myself. Just saves a lot of time if they do it.

It's not my style, but I am very impressed with the quality. Keep up the good work.

You can put in a non-airbag steering wheel from a number of different Nissan cars if you are looking for something different. You might also want to consider SE white faced gauges or maybe some white face indiglos. I think the white gauges would look nice with that dash. If you are really crafty, maybe you could paint some indiglos with that baked cookie look on the edges. That is pretty cool.

Wow! THAT is original. Exactly what color is that you're using??

Ramiro U - is that your Max in that pic with the cycle? We've seen that a number of times posted here...
