Well, I just got finished changing my gauges. I am happy with how easy it was to change them, but not so happy with the color. Everyone around here is doing blue, and it just looked like too much for me, so I went with white. My gauges ended up being more light blue than white....way to much blue for me, you will see in the pics. Also, these night pics suck, because my bros cam sucks at night pics lol. They are much brighter than they look...better than stock, but eh. I got some 5-angle leds in there. I changed the dome light, hvac, and license plate light. I also have some pics of my new carpet, antenna, strut bars and sway bars. I love em. not pictured is my recovered headliner and door panels, still not happy with them...but I have plenty of pics here, just wanted to share the love. enjoy
dome light
all put back together, you can see the new carpet in there (ignore the wires, im in the process of redoing the neons under the dash lol)
stock blub/socket compared to new led/socket
first night pics
this thing is bright at night, much better
all cleaned up before the new carpet goes in
other pics
TTR mount, waiting on them to release the new lower mount
swaybar
strut bars
friends honda, about to trade it in for a new XB
my car
now this sucks right here. some bitch eating a box of chicken and speeding runs a red light and t-bones my dad on the way home from work. totals the car. the thing is, here car is actually worse than his...broker her axle, and lost a whole box of chicken. what a bitch. the car just got paid off not long ago, had less than a year old tires, fresh tank of gas. mechanically, this thing was great. went way ahead of its time. still tore up about it. dad is alright though for the most part, just a bruised, swollen leg, not broken. if the impact would have been back more into the door, another story. somebody was watchin him that day.
my tool box
and a pic of the dog for good measure lol

Looking good....awesome clarity in those pics too!
I like the color of the gauges myself...I'd say keep them.
Eh...old man with a Corvette now...it was bound to happen sooner rather than later right?
very clean 95-99 Z
i love it man!!!! keep up the good work, your doing a phenominal job.
damn i wish somebody would make the 95-99 z rims in the 19s? that you have in your sig... those look AWESOME that way
OMG Your cluster looks almost exactly like mine in those pics. I don't mean to post jack but I want to post a pic so you can see what I mean. I used translucent blue vinyl instead of leds though. How do you feel about painting your needles.
FORGET GIRLS GONE WILD WE HAVE GOVERNMENT SPENDING GONE WILD!
like it all, even the tails
the tails just work on that color
keep it up
thanx for the comments guys, i think ill keep em that color for a while
z ya - me too, i like these rims, but theyre just too small, and its hard to find an aftermarket wheel similar in design
wade - nice gauges
keep em coming

I dont know about the new addco bar, but my old addco bar said to flip the "D" bushings the other way, so that the bar goes up into the axle cavity. I flipped my bushings and it gave a LOT more ground clearance. It doesnt change the performance of the bar but, it looked a lot better tucked up in the axle.
looks good and it never hurts to throw a pic of the ol dog in once and a while
where did you get the led's for the dome light? i wouldnt mind having a bit more light in the car at night
You Know How It Is
nice car man sucks about ur dads car, oh and btw u have a badass cam lol
looks great! very clean interior and lightly modded exterior. looks fantastic
Nice and clean! I like the way you have started your modding! I cant wait for updates
chm - yea i know what ya mean. at the time i got it, there was a little debate on here about how to put it in, and most people seemed to do it this way. plus, i like it hangin a bit lower, just cuz i can see it lol
streaker - never hurts. besides, theres all kinds of cats on here inspecting parts, might as well show off my inspector haha
megatron - neither can i
steve o, black eco - i used 5-way led's from
superbrightleds.com, they seem to be kinda expensive compared to other kinds, especially since i got white, but they are worth it. quite easy to install to.
and for all the comments about the cam, some are shot with my moms cam, some with my brothers, and some with my friends lol...but i did take em all. my moms cam is some kind of Kodak easyshare. its an ight cam, but nothing special really. the dark night pics were taken with a Kodak c300, just a plain cam. but some of the others were shot with a Samsung nv10. much better than the other two, got some nice settings. all the pics i take, and i dont have my own cam lol...saving up for an slr...might take a while.
thanx for all the comments guys
