Wow that looks awesome!  What gauges do you have on the pillar? (ie. voltage, boost, etc.?)

looks great!

What did you order for a gauge pod?  Was it a universal or something else?


Also, I've never seen headlight switches like yours, they look sweet was that a 89 TGP thing only or what?

Yeah, I just couldn't figure out a way to work in the one member who claimed that adding a valance to his lightbulb kept it from overheating...

lookin good. my biggest question with doing this on any car is: how do you get the texture on the finished product to match the rest of the trim pieces?

DARK RIDE, the 89 GP headlight switches are different than a 90 GP, both standard and TGP styles. Personally, I like the 89 better, but as has been said, to each his own.

So a blue can at Canadian Tire? Was it black textured paint? or did you have to paint it black after you sprayed the textured stuff on?
