So sorry to hear for your loss!!! Fast or slow doesn't matter on builds for some, the memories you made with your best friend/ brother is what will mean most for you !!!

thanks i used the matt black duplicolor vinyl spray paint and it matches pretty well and the seats could use a cleaning but you really dont see them very often and i fixed a broken wheel stud after 6 years of having the car and does any one know what all i need to slap the dual piston calipers on to mine? does the banjo bolt work and brake lines?

the red needles fit fine after you cut a little locator tab off the bottom of them but i plugged this up to see if my gauges were off and the only one that looks like it may be off is the oil which pegged out as soon as i started to car so i need to fiddle with them for alittle while i know exactly where my gauges always run so lets just hope there not to far off because this looks good and ill take night pics when i get the l.e.ds in and im doing a brake caliper upgrade and i god i didnt know there was such a big difference between the 94-98 calipers and the 99-04 there bigger brake pads dual piston and 8 pound lighter then mine!! more pics to come on those!
