White's '95 GT "Unicorn"

That was going to be my next option. Got a bit of other stuff to knock out this winter before I worry about paint lol

Landau black from LMR is a perfect match for our interiors.

Good to know. My plan is to paint my replacement door panels and quarter trim in the two tone fashion to match the dash.

I thought about going with the lmr kit. Personally I don't think the landau is perfect. The difference between the shifter bezel and radio bezel is pretty noticeable

paint the shifter bezel also

 

[apsmith49921]

Then it doesn't match the door bezels or the trim around the steering colum and guages lol becomes a project. Also there's a slight difference it seems in the smooth pieces vs rippled ones.

@apsmith49921 you’ve got a new edge radio bezel, that doesn’t match our interior at all. I used that landau black and did the top half of my doors, it matches the 98 dash perfectly. You can’t tell a difference. I also used a couple really light coats of low luster clear on top of it.

correct but with out the pieces directly next to each other I highly doubt anyone will ever get in and notice. If its something that bugs you bad enough(as it did me) then paint them all to match. All the pieces come out easily and would not be a big deal to spray them all at the same time.

 

[apsmith49921]

That piece is painted with the sem landau black. Prepped and cleaned properly as well

are you saying that they both painted with it?

 

[apsmith49921]

No the radio trim was painted to match and its my opinion it doesn't match that well. The smooth plastics seem to have a sheen as where the textured materials do not. It's possible I could try the duplicolor I used on the center console for the extra shine on the radio and the more matte sem on the console.

Long story short the console is too glossy and the bezel is too matte lol

use a high build primer on the rough side prior to painting it.

yeah guess it didn't register to me that you had gone round and round with the 4v motor regarding boost before selling it and going 5.0. i know, not in line with the current conversation, but didn't want to dirty up the other thread any more with the coyote conversation.

It’s all good! It was going to make more power than I was prepared to deal with so I sold the Whipple to buy the Coyote.

Installed an Intelletronix Digital fuel level gauge in a 3D printed vent pod. I hate the vent pod but it’s temporary anyway.





Removed the Corbeau and swapped the driver seat to the actual drivers position.



As some may have seen earlier, I drove the car to work today.







Wouldn’t be right without a WOT video!

Aside from driving the piss out of it on track? Finding new ways to modify old junk.

Haven’t been able to replicate the fuel leak. Swapped in another 99-04 console and gave William the old one to replace his with the huge aftermarket auto shifter cut out.

I just picked one up, did you get the aux power to work when u swapped the harness over. Trying to find out why mine don’t work and my fog lamp switch won’t turn on.
