Yes but I'm currently living at school and my car is at home so i cant get any good pics until i go home sometime in the next few weeks. I have this pic from when i installed the welting though. It looks to match the redfire perfectly


I also have it installed on my dashboard running across the very top where the silver IUP meets the black part. Not a super noticeable area to put it but it looks pretty nice there

thanks for the pic.. thats cool, yeah, that matches great.. i feel a little better now that i ordered 2 sets lol.. and that was what i was thinking, to use the extra set on the dash. mines not redfire (dark candy) but its very close.. close enough i don't think it'll matter to the welting.. i guess i'll find out..

i just got back from Rome GA.. TSB fire training school.. beautiful country man...

I originally bought 1 set for the doors then a few months later bought another and did the dash plus i have a good bit left over that i could use if i find somewhere that wont look like its overkill.

Im in Atlanta for school but there is definitely some nice scenery around georgia.

I still need to get around to doing some of these cheap mods! Ill probably order the G2 kit and paint my calipers once im out for summer and a suede headliner is a must since i just bought new leather/suede seats!

yeah, i'm concerned about overkill.. i'm not even sure i really want to do the door trim like that.. but i'll play around till i figure out where i want to put it..

oh man, those calipers will look sweet when you're done.. and you have pics on the seats you got? i don't think i have ***** enought to tackle a headliner, i remember putting one in a 66 a friend of mine had, and it liked to killed us.. lol

my bestest cheap mod: power point insert/cover i used an old cellphone charger plug, bought a keychain off e-bay, and RTV'd them together, i think it looks cool..


plus i got another, got a generic oil fill cap, painted it to match and RTV'd one in the middle of it.. kinda matches..

I also agree to make your engine bay look pretty and stand out from the rest.
I did mine..painted valve covers, throttle body, Strut tower bar, and my engine cover
