Spike3.0 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I've been busy trying to improve the looks of my Supra for Japfest, when I got the car a few months ago the dash was sprayed poorly with the paint flaking off. Now its almost done, and just a few areas to paint but what to you think so far? The silver is almost gone and I've replaced it with carbon fibre style material and satin black paint, the dials are now EL glo, and the dash bulbs blue LED's, the crap gear knob has been thrown, new gaitors fitted, stereo, dash rings etc.... Just a couple of areas of the door cards to do now, and then replace that broken ash tray. Better then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike3.0 Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 Poor quality photo, but you get the idea with the dials at night. Might have to turn them down a little, those El Glo can go bright! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Its easy enough, go for it;) I know but the thing for me is, everything needs to 'flow' on the car if i have a carbon dash, ill want a black rooflining and carpet as it will clash with grey, or carbon bodied bits and such...and thats when it all takes of, im going to have to settle for silver for the time:search: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might get round to doing the carpet one day, but it doesn't look too bad right now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
