pft.. i actually had the idea well before you did yours when i was stuffing around painting and ricing up my computer at the time.  

anyway, its not like its that original. Some come from Japan with it already done.

i still did it first :P

btw the profec b spec II blue back lit goes real well with the rest of my interior.

i cant be bothered taking it all out again to paint it a darker grey so im going to have to finish everything else in the same colour... what a pain in the arse... i wanted something less obvious or attention atracting.

it was night time... i do everything when i get home from work. Much to the delight of my neghbours :D

it looked perfect when i was puting it in... wasnt til i woke up this afternoon that i noticed it

Hey inasnt, did you do the centre console surround? how hard it it to take off? I want to do it in gloss black :D (does that count as rice?)

nope didnt do it.

come off very easily, 2 screws near the seat belt joiners and 2 under the gear stick.

narkeh... being a panel beater n all u shoulda known the colour changes when it dries, didn't you do a test spray the night before?? u n00b!

BTW u'r engine bay is now yelow and your interior is baby blue... u'r not like becoming a hippy or some shit are you? :hippy:

    • They work on really anything track related now. They do my mates r35 gtr and it's a weapon of a car.
    • I use the penrite 600f in my cars and have had no issues even at Townsville v8s when I drove that but I bled fluid end of day for just in case. Good value and a about 38-40 on sale. Use castrol srf on the supercars and no need to Bleed brakes over a race weekend. Do the 1000km with no issues. Over 120 a bottle I seen at repco. A quality brake pad is always a good starting point the ebc stuff I've seen let go after 2 sessions with heavier cars. I'd be going to a decent track pad and maybe those porsche air guides on the control arm to help with some air over the rotor. Helps on 86/brz with stock callipers.  
    • yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)
    • Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions
    • Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
