**Updated** pics of my TA. Dial up beware...quite a few pics. Lots of new goodies.
I hope you all dont mind. Its been awhile since I posted pics of my car. Go to www.cardomain.com/id/87transam to see all of the new and old pics. Any comments, questions, additional pic requests welcome. Ive added quite a bit since the last time I posted about my car. Quick list. 4th gen leather, pillar pod and gauges, 4th gen console, new radio pod and face plate, new fog lights, new headlight conversions....and just some post-wash pics. Here come the pics...
New fog lights with pilot ultra white H3 bulbs...lots of light.
Headlight housings...excuse the spotty glass.
Interior shot. Seats, console, steering wheel, gauge pod. Here is where I need opinions. Im swapping interior color. Im thinking all black. But grey has been suggested...as well as black with grey accents. I already have grey 4th gen seat belts to replace the tan 4th gens in the pic. Let me know

Here's the gauge pod. Autometer full triple. A/F gauge, fuel pressure, and vacuum. Very nice stuff...I was impressed with everything from autometer. Although, for the cost of the f/p gauge, they could have included some -4AN elbows or fittings, since this is what kept me from finishin up my hook ups the night I installed them.
I tried... This is how it looks at night. I put amber 194 bulbs in the bottom two. In person they match my dash perfectly...except for they are alittle brighter, due to the white faces I believe.
Threw this in for the heck of it. I wish pioneer made amber EL displays. Its the only thing that doesnt match.

Thanks for the replies. She is still a work in progess. Ive given up my engine hunt for alittle while and Im working on some appearance/maintenance stuff now. Here are a couple more interior shots.
My steering wheel.
Further away.
Window switches. That plate was a quickie. I have nicer black ABS plastic and brand new switches waiting to go in. That little thing infront of the switches is an amber light. I painted 90% of it black. The light shines off of the alum. piece under the ash tray lid and reflects onto the switches. Mainly for my passengers because they arent used to the window switches being in the middle. It dims with my dash lights
My radio pod area. Things look alittle off because I forgot to re-secure my console to the custom front bracket I made. I was messing around with it when I installed my seats and never bolted it back down. I get kinda lazy every so often. Plus Im getting ready to tear all my interior out when I figure out what color to go to. So ill fix the little things then.

Very sharp!! I like that gauge pod... Did you use amber glass bulbs or clear bulbs with the little amber rubber thing covering them (like the stock gauge lights)?? If you used amber glass 194's, you might try to get some of the clear's with the orange condom (hehe) to match the brightness more...

They are orange glass bulbs. I couldnt find any orange condoms for them. Autometer only has basic colors as far as I could find. In person they match much closer. Its just I couldnt find a way to take the pic in the dark so it looked good. The white faces of the gauges reflect more than the dark faces of my dash, so taht probably makes them appear brighter too.
Yeah I agree...black on tan is sweeet. Unfortunetly I couldnt pass these seats up even though they arent black (ebony). Im just not sure I like the grey colored seats against the tan. The other problem is I cant find any good tan interior plastics. Mine are faded and scratched and ugly. Ive found tons of black and grey pieces tho. Maybe if I get my tan in better shape ill like it better.

Thanks. If I would have taken a pic of my rear hatch area you might think different. The plastic is in really rough shape. Lots of fading and scratches. Everyone wants $200 for new plastic..as far as restoration companies. Im determined to find used stuff on ebay or at carlisle or something.
Thanks for the compliments!
