i still have a LONG way to go but im falling love with the black on black look the car is beginning to get... and YES im STILL driving around like this ;)

i put a stock gauge cluster in for now until my special ultra secret fiberglass cluster is done :naughty:

the dash itself needs to still be "polished" and cleaned up for the full effect...but you guys get the idea.

comments, questions, concerns for my safety? hehe

ideal: what'd you use for dye? i wanted to use foliatec, but it's sort of hard to come by, and today i was in an autoparts store and saw VHT black vinyl interior dye... i almost bought it, but wanted to know what others used.

and btw: it does look awesome. i dont care about the rest of the interior... hell, you should've seen my 92 maxima when i first had it.... i had most of the dash out, door panels, it was good. people were afraid to ride in it...

Without A/C black interior sucks... so hot in the summer, lol.

I want to add A/C to my Corolla, lol... stupid black interior in a black car.

Oh well, at least black interiors look really nice! :) Plus your targa I think, not sure if you have A/C. :)

Secret? Does that means I have a security clearance? :biglaugh:

Looks nice. Have you noticed any wear problems with the paint you're using?
