Mike that look's real good. Not bad for a guy that watches Martha Stewart show's. I gues it pay's off. No, realy it came out like it realy belong's there... nuvibe

That looks awsome. What kind of paint did you use?

Posted: **Sun Sep 24, 2006 8:10 am**

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

Posted: **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

Posted: **Sun Sep 24, 2006 8:17 am**

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

Posted: **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.

Posted: **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

Posted: **Sun Sep 24, 2006 9:42 am**

Nice Job! Looks very professional!

Posted: **Sun Sep 24, 2006 10:34 am**

Nice work. Can we get a close-up shot? I'm interested to see how that texture came out.

Posted: **Sun Sep 24, 2006 11:11 am**

I can get some close ups tomorrow... and will have more when the gauges are installed.I like how it came out... looks really good.

Posted: **Sun Sep 24, 2006 11:14 am**

I'll be expecting mine in the mail!

Posted: **Sun Sep 24, 2006 11:31 am**

Posted: **Sun Sep 24, 2006 11:43 am**

Posted: **Sun Sep 24, 2006 2:38 pm**

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

Posted: **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!!

Posted: **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!

Posted: **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.

Posted: **Sun Sep 24, 2006 11:22 pm**

that looks awesome mrizzle!

Posted: **Fri Sep 29, 2006 12:06 pm**

Impressive... most impressive! The look f'n sweet!

Posted: **Fri Sep 29, 2006 3:48 pm**

Its impressive... but i am having a darn hard time getting the gauges to work right!!!MAN wish it was easier... or i wasnt so retarded!

Posted: **Mon Oct 02, 2006 12:36 am**

Looks really professional. Nice work.

Posted: **Mon Oct 02, 2006 12:46 am**

thanks silver.... i actually have a couple of pics of them. one at night. but there in the auto show thread in the events forum.Ill get some more tonight and post them up

Posted: **Mon Oct 02, 2006 5:19 am**

That looks really good! I wish I had the patience/skill to do that.

Posted: **Mon Oct 02, 2006 5:54 am**

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

Posted: **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.

Posted: **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.

Posted: **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.

Posted: **Mon Oct 02, 2006 11:26 am**

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

Posted: **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

Posted: **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)

Posted: **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.

Posted: **Tue Oct 03, 2006 3:57 pm**

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

Posted: **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.

Posted: **Tue Oct 03, 2006 10:32 pm**

actually i have blue neons inside and a blue colored faceplate at night, so it was a theme i was goin with.
