working on my custom front end

sup guys, i got the sarona body kit planning on selling the front and using the sides and rear. Well after getting the sides and rear fit to the car and ready to paint i still hadn't sold my front and after all the bad stuff going on about them i figured my chances were slim so i would have to deal with it. It looks just like stock so i figured i would play around with it alittle, so this is what i got so far, any ideas would be great on how to make it look better, the plan is to have an open center kinda like the skyline and i might even make a grill fiberglass on to the top like the R33. the plans are still in progress. Thanks for any help

thanks for the pics, yes i was the one with the dash, so far it's been about 9 months, it looks great, the dye is from a company called leatherique which is brushed on not sprayed so you don't have to tape off or take out the dash. and i attached a few pics for ya.

Hi,
Your interior is really sweet and i've been looking into doing something like that. Could you e-mail me some info like, what exactly did you buy and how much did you need to paint your dash and center console, and maybe some tips in painting. Thanks for any info you can give.

i can't remember the name of the kit but its there normal car kit. it had something for removing the dirt and excess grease, then you sand the vinal down then apply the dye and then a clear coat. It will only take one bottle to do and just so ya know i bought any parts that i could find in black like the center console and glove box because there hard plastic and it doesn't stick good to those. Good luck, btw anyone with any ideas on the front end? im thinking about cutting circle holes so i can mount some fogs but i don't know what else to do yet?

underneath one of the circles cut a small rectangle like on the stillen kit. After that is done you can take a hose and plumb it to the brakes, thusly making it able to cool your brakes as well as asthetic. Circles for fogs are a good idea as well, but i dont know if you want to do circles , or OEM shape, or a fitted shape of some sort.

So your seats were tan? Then you dyed them black? or are they custom seats?
