I've seen this dash in person....it's very sweet. Also, ejj is correct....it's a 6 sp. Rob, you have a site of your car before front carlisle or anything?

It can be blinding depending on the color I did a silver one in a 2k civic and that is horrible to drive when sunny.

the 6 spd is for my 3.5 swap im working on and yes it will be boosted. I do automotive painting and it takes lots of primer and wet sanding but dont try with aerosol youll regret it.

Nice work but I think I would be more into a flat paint rather than gloss. It will stay cooler in the summer and reduce glare.

How hard was it to remove the top of the dash? Did you break any of those snaps?

That is awsome, the blue is a little much, a dark gray would look nice with two tone leather seats. Have fun doing 3.5 swap.

Nice job, definately good for show, but I dunno if I want something like that in a daily driver. I'd be worried about getting blinded on a sunny day. Either way, nice job, can't wait to see it when you get everything put back in and completed.

Looking good Rob, we still need to figure out if I can get you my old SR20 motor for your project. Call me on my cell. The SE-R should still be coming your way for paint....
