Nice lookin ride... interior looks smooth

jason · 05-09-2003, 11:07 PM

What are those eurolite crystals rated at?

Saccus · 05-09-2003, 11:14 PM

Im not positive but I think its 4300K. They are pure white with the slightest hint of blue, very classy.

Blazes49 · 05-09-2003, 11:18 PM

Really looking good man! I especially like the red neon under the dash...I have a black GT and looking to do the same. Question for you, how did you wire those neons? Just curious becuase it looks really well done!

I posted pic there of where i mounted the neons so that they were hidden. As far as wiring goes, just combine the 2 positive wires from the neons into 1 wire, route this wire to a switch, then route it from the switch to a fuse in the fusebox. Combine the 2 negative wires from the neons into one wire, and connect this wire to a piece of metal (ground).

Heres a little pic i drew to help you out, hope this helps.

PS - There is more pics of the neons at my cardomain site.

Where did you get your clear headlight cover?

GatorMan · 05-10-2003, 09:16 AM

does all the light still shine out perfectly?

GatorMan · 05-10-2003, 09:36 AM

oops,
also your interior gloss black looks awesome... got anymore pictures on it? Like close up. Was it hard to paint it and what process did you do?

00_SE · 05-10-2003, 10:07 AM

Hey where did you get your Eurolite xenon crystal headlight at? I have the xenon crystal fogs and I have been looking for the headlights to match them. BTW your car is looking very good!

mr_eh · 05-10-2003, 11:13 AM

Same here...
Love that black interior color, been waitin to see that FOREVER. Looks awesome, hopefully more people start doing it.

- pe@ce

Saccus · 05-10-2003, 01:58 PM

woa, ok thanks all.

For the headlight covers, I bought clear GTS ones from autozone (don't get autoventshade, they fly off) and then I got some sticky vinyl and a compass. I drew the circles onto the vinyl and cut them out. Then I went outside, put the clear covers on, turned on the lights, and marked on the outside with tape where the center of the light from the bulbs is. Then I took em inside, applyed the circles to the inside, masked the front of the covers and then I put 5 coats of gloss black on the inside. DONT SAND BEFORE YOU PAINT THEM!!!, because it will leave scratchs showing in the front, that paint sticks just fine if you clean it good with alchohol. Good Luck.

They don't hinder the light output at all.

Heres a closeup.

No it wasnt hard to paint, just take the pieces out, sand em good, then 3 coats primer, 4 coats color, 4 coats clear. Just take your time and work in light coats.

Heres a closeup.

mr_eh · 05-10-2003, 02:40 PM

you should continue the black and paint the whole middle console black, thats what i was planning on doing anyway

GrandAmChick · 05-10-2003, 02:51 PM

Your car is lookin' great!

Saccus · 05-10-2003, 03:03 PM
