Gauge pod..

The gauge pod is for a 95 max. I heated it with a heat gun so that I could form fit it around the edges and then I screwed it down. Then I used glazing putty and I formed the pods to the pillar. This took alot of time and patience. Alot of sanding with different grade sandpapers was also used. Then once I finished I just painted it a color to match the original trim color.

Well..

Probably not, believe me I know that coilovers are nice. I actually have the ground controls sitting in my garage right now but I am selling them as well. I was going to go for speed but where I live there is not a speed shop that would be able to help me out and therefore I don't want to get the supercharger, so I am going for all show and I am going to do paint job, body work, and air bag suspension. I will more than likely regret losing the handling ability but oh well.
