Hey, I know this has all been done before, which is why I did it myself... but the results were so nice I had to post a few pics. thanks to awsm66, (90% of my inspiration), I got a new shift **** (AE), new booties for e brake and shifter; and an ichibahn e brake handle. Anyways here are the pics... lemme know what you guys think.

hahhaha very nice

just need some AE pedals to complete it

 

I was just thinking that earlier today! I wonder what a set of those bad boys cost =)

 

The shift **** and e-brake are sweet. The tan tweed should be black leather, though.

The pedals aren't that expensive, but you have to kind of fabricate them to fit. Several guys have done it, including MrGone. I am far too lazy, or I would have them, too.

 

Very nice. I may want to do the same. What was the total cost?

TIA.

 

I don't know if I understand how you replace the e-brake handle. Is it difficult?

 

You do know that Awsm66 copied me on the shift **** and leather boots (and pedals), right?

 

hahaaha^^ they look really nice. they set off the interior. yea, get those ae pedals too.

 

very cool lookin upgrade. black carpeting wouldnt be bad either, aside from all the other things mentioned

 

uhhh no...I dont think so


kiyakerz---looks good now you just need to spend a couple hundred for me to sand down your interior pieces and paint them .

 

All you guys copied me, you just installed them months before I did

 

are you sure your car is pearl white, because it looks like its just plain white to me.

the ae shifter and e-brake look nice.

 

doesnt look plain white to me. super white is much brighter than those pics. Sure some of them are over exposed and are really bright but if you look at the rest you can see the car is oatmeal instead of really bright white.

 

xtmphan: Cost break down....

AE Shift **** 60$
Ichibahn E-Brake Handle 25$
Both boots 60$

total cost: 145 O_O wow I had no clue this cost me so much to do.

Maxima_Mike: you have to cut the rubber stuff off your ebrake so all you have left is the middle bar... then the new handle just slides over it and two screws hold it in place. Very easy install for everything.

btw my car is pearl white, but it's probably faded over the years. I mean I still have that teal pin stripe going around the sides (wonder why they did that). after I get the stillen body kit (whenever i have enough moola to afford that) I'll be repainting the car pearl white.

 

awsm66: I was thinking about doing that.....

Mizeree_X: hmm... thought I'd check out your car since awsm66 copied you... I like your suspension setup. Just wondering, where did you get the following parts?

*SUSPENSION*

- Otto Racing Front Strut Tower Brace
- Blehmco RSTB *NEW*
- Whiteline (Aus) Front Sway Bar with Poly Bushings *NEW*
- Addco Rear Sway Bar with Poly bushings and BlehmCo reinforced links


Been having a hard time finding a place with all of those parts

 

blehmco stuff is all made by matt blehm www.mattblehm.com

 

lol I didnt copy him. He was joking because he had them before me (except the boots...I had those when they first came out thanks to Dan but had them on my auto) but that doesnt mean I copied him.

 

lol ok... well I copied you for sure... actually I also liked how you painted your dash... what kind of paint did you use... what are the procedures? if you dont mind me asking =)

 

I sanded the texture off using various grits of paper (sorry I cant recall now what they were) then I used a good plastic adhesive promoter and sprayed a good automotive primer (one you mix and spray from a paint gun not a spray can primer), then I sanded it smooth and re applied as needed until the finish was perfectly slick. Then I sprayed PPG base and clear. Again not rattle spray can stuff but actual paint just like whats on the outside of the car. You will not get that kind of look (you would know if you saw it in person) from a rattle can spray paint...but you can get it to look really good using spray cans...just not as good imo. You really have to see it in person to appreciate it...it looks factory and not just painted interior pieces. Ok enough bragging on myself (I usually dont do that lol).

When it was blue it was perfect but I got some small runs in it when I re did it in silver and never sanded them out because I was lazy .

 

wow thats badass... which pieces did you do that to? just the trim around the deck and ac etc.?

 

yeah I didnt want to go over board with it.
