Fall 07 shots and some updates
Sunday, October 21, 2007 5:47 PM
Well guys, I went out and got some last shots for the year. Finally bought myself a tri-pod lol

A few updates: got my 03-05 leather wrapped t-handle shift knob in and the ZOMG rare as hell 95-99 5spd shifter bezel for power windows, this piece was a tough find, dis-continued from GM, but the guys down in the parts dept. here locally found a place through GM that had one lying around. So I bought it brand new for $57.00. The shift knob was a hefty chunk as well at $120.00 through GM. Also got my Toyota Cavalier 'leather' wrapped steering wheel on to. Finally put my 95-99 z24 front licence plate filler panel on to, im in-different with it, i like it but i also liked the front plate with the tinted cover over it. And thanks to Brian (go speed racer go) showing me how to get the JSP CF trunk lid to sit flush up by the back window. (taking the spring bars out).

Next year brings 03-05 LSS side skirts, an 02 z24 rear bumper w/ lip, and a PTD custom front 95-99 z24 front bumper w/ 03-05 lss front lip molded on, and a spoilerless stock trunk lid w/ rk sport CF tail light bezel.

Questions and comments always welcome! Onto the pics:







flush trunk lid


front filler panel








my 02 rear bumper resides in here lol i was too lazy to dig it out


last pics of the year
















this pic was weird, i stopped right on the black mark, lol... no i didnt do the mark and i dont even think my car could


and last but not least, my wanna-be in the calender pic hahaha

Like I told you before,I like the one pic the best,the one you picked for the "wanna be in the calender" pic but I have some suggestions,since you have the fog light switch cover white,why not do the same for the cluster and the hvac panel?Also,I would leave the vents alone but maybe paint the glovebox handle white,basicially incorporate some more white and black in the interior,I just don't care for charcoal.Paint the letters on the filler plate and clear it as mine has already started chipping off,lol.And save the Z sides for me ,I want em'!!!!Not a fan of the shifter knob but it doesn't look bad.Chrome billet tilt lever possibly?I think Cav2Envy or someone was selling those.Overall,no matter what you do I've always been a fan of that car!!

shawn, the plan is white faced gauges, but im having difficulty finding some with the stock font, if i can i'll get them. hvac as well, just havnt gotten around to getting either. the fog light/dimmer switch panel came in the car when i bought it so thats why its there. hey u didnt notice the ghey seat covers are gone and z seats installed

im not sure if im going to sell the z sides as of yet, BUT... you have first dibs if i do end up wanting to get rid of them. someday i may wanna go back to them i just dont know yet, gotta wait n see how i like the 03-05's.

So how did you get the trunk to line up flush? Mine on the left side still sets upward.

zach and mike... i took out the spring bars that hold it up. i believe they were too tight on the lighest setting and even with my 'custom' touch (torched one of them in the center and twisted it to have even less resistance) so it kinda bowed it up. i took them out and viola it sit perfectly. it also DOES NOT wobble around, this is a myth and is absolutly false. the only thing i dont like is having to have a prop to hold it open, otherwise i love how you can just drop it and it latches, sorta like a stock hood. when i had the bars in i had to carefully push down hard on top in order for it to close.

im planning on torching the center of the other one sometime and twisting it as well to have yet even less resistance to see if it will work. i really dont like it the way it is having to have a prop.

ohh, and thanks to brian (spdracrZ) for showing me this little 'trick' lol
