What lies beneath (the box). Its a 20 or 25 pounder, not sure which. I modified the brakets so it fits under the box. Its gonna get painted to match the car

1. T-tops still fit....just push the bag a little forward over the top of the back seats.

2. If you dont like it, IM not forcing you to look at it

MacEwen Just made then a couple weeks ago. Mine were the first. I had to send him my cluster so he sent my a set of silver face, white face, and zenon bulbs. Pictures dont do the overlays justice...I was definately inmpressed with them when I got them.

Here are my new gauges.

the one I have was from an alarm system.

Anyone know what went in that area where the red light is in my car?
I am thinking that some cars had a sound quality lever in that area for the stereo, but I am not sure.

Zeph,
your correct, kinda, it was originally for a subwoofer control from the factory, there is a slider and a on-off button that came with the option.

looks like this:

From what I know the option would also come with the decal "Performance sound" that you see on my radio Pod trim piece. There was an Amplifier that is found in front of the passenger, beneath where the dash pocket goes. the Subwoofer I believe was located in front of the spare tire on the right side.

The option was only offered from 85-88 or something like that...

John

What I find interesting is I have a 1994 vintage radio made by Kenwood that is the self hiding type. When did Alpine and Eclipse come out with theres?

First of all, congrats on your interior! Looks sweet. Gives me tones of ideas. :hail: Gives me tons of ideas. Now I have about a million questions for you.

1. Where did you get the shifter handle at? I like it. I'm trying to find a new black shift boot too.

2. Do you have any specs on that sub enclosure? I love that too.

3. Does McEwen have a web site?

4. Are the zenon bulbs colored?

Thanks man!

I got the McEwen face gauges in white about a year ago and I love them. I didn't nkow that they now made them in silver. They are great looking overlays. Paid only $69 for them over the internet. Good looking car you have there.
