Before I start getting flamed for taking 45 min to install headlight covers, let me just say that I try to pay maximum attention to details and try not to put one scratch on the paint :D

Here are a couple of pics of the bolts that go behind the marker lights...no one will ever see them, so why do I care to install new bolts there??? I don't know :biglaugh: I just like it that way...

Sorry about all the dust, but I won't be cleaning it anytime soon until I get my air compressor repaired. I don't like paint swirls...

Duane, don't be hatin...............:biglaugh:

I was asking if he bought them new. (I did and thought he would too) SS screws are FTW :naughty:

Miguel said that they would be a waste of money but they are cheap as the OEM screws ;) I forgot, he won't be driving this anyway as it will be in a museum on carpet :sarcasm:

Please tell me you bought new headlight surround covers? Why not SS screws ;)

No, I could have for what I paid to have them painted. Mine were practically new. The car only has 74K remember? But I wanted them painted Jet Black to match the car. I think they are better than new now :naughty:

Duane

I think is museum on carpet worthy. Don't you think so? :biglaugh:


Like I told you last night Duane, I'll be putting SS or Aluminum bolts all around the engine bay. Mostly so that it would match the engine bay. Zinc bolts don't go with the nice and shiny look of the engine bay.

If I wanted to, I could've bought ALL SS or Aluminum bolts and save about 125lbs off the car. That would cost a few grand though :nono:

Duane, you're giving Dave way too much credit. His mind doesn't function well enough to come up with something witty like that..............:biglaugh:

You guys are too much... :biglaugh:


Got a few minutes today to finish working on the dash cluster. I honestly lost count of how many hours I put in into this. From R&D, to doing the needles, to the 9,000RPM tach, to final assembly...


9K RPM tach. I'll use the LEDs for ECU settings indicator: Normal - Race - NOS
