AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 8:10 am

wow mike! great job! looks like it's supposed to be there. very nice.

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 8:15 am

dont laugh... but its actually bed liner spray!It gives it a tecture... and its only in black, so we tried it to see how it would turn out. looked good so i figured id leave it.Its paintable so if i can come across some paint to match the dash i might paint it.thanks for the comments

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 8:17 am

hey, who cares as long as it turns out the way you like.

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 8:27 am

true.. its just funny cuz its a bedliner, but looks pretty good.cant wait to get the gauges in.

nuvibe · Post by **nuvibe** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 9:11 am

Mike If there's a local automotive paint supply store near you area. Ask to see a color chart for interior paint made by SEM so you can match the color of the dash to the new gauge pod.... nuvibe

sweet man post up a price it came out flippin sweet good job man i give you props

KNINE · Post by **KNINE** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 8:59 pm

I thought I saw some texture in your pictures and wondered how you did it. I never would have though of bedliner spray. And it shouldn't crack in the sun. Very nice!!

ColonelPanic · Post by **ColonelPanic** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 9:07 pm

Not my style, I would have decked them out in some sort of pink fluffy fuzzy material. Or maybe a nice shag carpeting. But you did a good job. Nice and thick coating, that should help with the cracks and such I've seen on other DIY pods. Bed liner stuff was a pretty good idea man, you'se creative!

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 11:05 pm

I was thinking silk lining... or maybe leopard skin!!! I dont have a price, i wouldnt do it for like 10 bucks. ill IM you two and see what we can arrange.

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 5:54 am

come on Mike you need to get that 3rd Guage in and take some day pics.

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 5:58 am

it honestly wasnt that hard... if you have a lil fiberglassing experience like me you can do it.me and my buddy actually did it in about a days worth of time.hardest thing to do is make sure the pods line up so when your done they arent crooked.Its a fun project and really gets you attatched to your car more.Heres pics from the car show of the pillar.

KNINE · Post by **KNINE** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 8:13 am

If you don't mind sharing your secret, what brand bed liner spray did you use? Did it come in a spray can? Do tell.

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 8:39 am

Oh... dont remember. got it from pep boys, it says bedliner spray, black. i think tough gaurd? not sureWhen i get home ill post the brand for you.

tcam · Post by **tcam** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 11:26 am

looks great but is it just me, or does the middle pod look a lil' funky?

Mrizzle05 · Post by **Mrizzle05** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 2:00 pm

BACK OFF buddy! it finally came in the mail. should be in by this weekend!They should hopefully be functional too

NascarXprt · Post by **NascarXprt** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 3:04 pm

sweet! that interior looks killer like that i wish mine was that dark. (i know that its kinda cloudy but it still looks sweet)

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Mon Oct 02, 2006 3:10 pm

snaps that looks good, do they have ones that do red instead of blue? i m sure they do i just dont know a good brand. I want mine to match my stock gauges in the cluster.

AKLGT · Post by **AKLGT** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 3:57 pm

ya, i'd have gone red to match the rest of the car lights. still, great job!

northvibe · Post by **northvibe** » Tue Oct 03, 2006 4:00 pm

ive seen some that are lit up by led's so they can change color with a button push but none that really match the vibes stock gauges.
