Haha, no I need room for Angie to sit in the passenger seat.

[MP81]

Brian, Brian, Brian. No you don't.

I'm pretty sure your lap is just as good of a passenger seat as it gets...

[meissen]

Shhh, Kyle, that was suppose to be our secret.

[MP81]

Oh, right!

i've been wondering how hard it is to convert to newer dash and al what you have to do... cause i was considering doing it sometime... down the road. as far as taking all the old out and putting in new.. does it line up the same? is there any hard modification you have to do?

When I replaced mine I had no problems, everything was good.

No wif you want to do what Brian did the you woulld have a work out.

I decided that the color of the dash was too "charcoal" for the rest of my interior so I decided to paint it. I'm trying to make it look somewhat stock-ish. I bought gloss black instead of flat, though, because I thought flat would stick out more.

[MP81]

Looks good!

It wasn't sorting the technical threads correctly so it wasn't popping up to the top. Bumpin this up again. I'm really happy with the results so far... the paint was done in really light coats so the vents and everything aren't stuck into place like the previous job.

Looks good!

Keep up the good work man.

I'm really happy with the results of the black paint so far. I sprayed it on in light coats so it didn't just crap it all up. Plus I used vinyl/fabric paint so it should have more flex in it than regular paint. I also figured out how Kyle lowered his steering column, so now when I go to install it I can put the steering column on the driver's seat.

The dash is all finished painting, so next weekend I'll be lengthening the harness 6 inches and then I'll be installing the dash right after more than likely.
