    Not bad, not bad. I don't mind the appliques. Thanks for posting the pics.

    How are these applied? Are they glued on?

    Sorry to sound dumb, what's "appliques" mean? You mean the applied pieces?

    The dash kit comes backed by a thin layer of 3M adhesive. It's very, very sticky, and once you get a good bond, it won't move on you at all. The key is to prep the surface well, and apply it carefully, cause if you mess up, you're going to have to peel it off and yo've lost the super stickiness that you get one chance at. Also, the switches are made of a gooey material that is hard to bond with, although I only had one switch that gave me trouble. I may have to so something more ghetto to get that one to stick, but I'll try some more prep work first. The kit came with some extra pieces, fortunately. As if they knew the switches would claim some pieces as vicitms.

    I knew there would be some props and more than a few shots, but it's all good. I've got to get the ricer out of my blood after years of racing Hondas and Toyotas. I figure, by the time I get my 430, I'll be all reformed. This is my "Phase-out" car.

    Next project, neon lights, hydraulics, lambo doors and a disco ball!!!!

    eBay. I took a flier and when it arrived, I liked the look so I put apiece or 2 on and decided it was a go. I'll check the seller tomorrow.

    +1. One question though. It looks like you have CF on your sills. Why didn't you stick with that motif?

    You know, I considered the C/F version of the dash, I've had them before, but I had driven a Benz during my recent car search, maybe a C63, cant recall anyway whatever it was, it had the Titanium Burlwood and I loved how it looked. Plus, you cant see the CF sills when youre sitting behind the wheel, so I see them as being seperate from a design standpoint.
