I've finally got an opportunity to work on my car...I figured I best be taking advantage of this warm weather. So the side markers are installed:

And these lights were a pain in the butt to install, but I think worth it. With the neons installed!

And one last shot...and guessed what I'm planning here? I might put in LED's here, but that's not what the big deal is...Any idea?

Stay tuned! haha I've also installed a set of black arm rests in place of my red ones. And I'm just taking a break from replacing the seat belts with black ones as well.

Sounds interesting... appearance mods.. what happened to those "restore my lost power mods" or fixes...

Looks good though!!! I was thinking the same thing in dash cept since my new purple look maybe install a UV light above the stereo...

Oh the performance mods will happen, just not till the car's out in the spring.

If you want a black light to install under the dash, I've got one for you really cheap. Bought it a while back and never used it.

looks really good. I'm not a fan of the lights sticking out like that with the dash tho... thought of recessing them possibly? I understand you probalby can't see them sitting upright in the car but jsut an idea

Recessing them would certainly be the way to go! But I'm not up for hacking apart my dash. With the dash cover on (it's not in the pic) and in a normal sitting position, they are not as noticeable and more of a glow. I tried to minimize the view of the tubes as much as possible and still have a nice glow.

I got the clears from the states...procarparts.com. But they are a really crappy company to deal with. Just to be forewarned in case you're thinking of getting them.

ahhhhh me! Didn't even notice the dash pad wasn't on. Guess I should have looked more closely at the pics. Probably is recessed enough in that case then.

Mark: Thought you were selling the car? The clears are from ProCarParts.com (crappy company to deal with) and the white face guages are from macewen.net (excellent company). If you wanna do the LED's like I have, the cheapest place to go is www.superbrightleds.com ...they're like a $1.49 each.

Gerrit: You'll love the gauges...I could not imagine going back to the boring stock black gauges.

Paul: Strobes? No way man...thinking about a stereo upgrade though.

At the time I bought my WFG Ryan didn't make metric for the 90-92 guages. I bought some anyway and was able to get my hands on a really cheap guage cluster from the states. I got in on a McEwen GP on the white face guages so the extra cost of buying the guage cluster was almost covered by the GP savings. It worked out for me, I kinda like having a U.S. guage cluster, nice to see the MPH in a big font. I'm waiting for McEwen to release his indiglo guages, I want those

nice work irocker...

although i dont know why you put your amber lights back in behind the clear sides...you should have went ultra whites like in the dash..but thats just me...

Gerrit: Contact Ryan at MacEwen directly and ask him. If he doesn't have it listed he sometimes is able to tell you when they are going to be coming out.

Zedder: Yeah the GP worked great for me...I got my gauges for free! I guess probably because I sold like 30 sets!

Paul: Getting warmer, but don't think so ****!

Easy: Guess I shoulda talked to you first.

iroc2nv: We'll talk. I have some other stuff planned, but I gotta see how the money flows this summer.

Oh yeah there you go again raising the bar just another knotch.

Those Gauges look Sweet and I think that the solid Red Tailights will be awesome on a white car. Nice work.

I grew up with MPH until Trudeau forced everyone into metric. Since we do most of our trade with the US, I'm still mystified as to why Canada was LEGISLATED by the federal gov't into the metric system

Well I'm from the generation where metric was taught to us in grade school.I never did get it however.I still prefer MPH over KPH,Miles over KM's,Pounds over Kilo's...........I mean really,my drivers licence says that I'm 157 cm tall and 55kg's----------it just sounds and looks weird!
