Wow. I don't think that my MAC short-shifter sits that high. lol

Just wondering- Are you short? You seat looks like it is all the way forward. lol I have to have mine all the way back and I am still cramped.[>:]

Where did you get the white backing plate for the HVAC? It looks great and I want to do it too. Good work all the way around, it looks really good!

Maybe these would help your brake issues?

Yeah, wet sanding the lights makes a huge difference, except these got bad again! I have a post around here somewhere that I posted a before and after picture of when I did it and it was amazing, but it's just time for some new ones for me, haha.

If you paint, you definitely want to get a clearcoat. I did mine without and I already managed to chip it and I'm going to have to do it over again. I originally thought I wouldn't like the glossy look, but I would rather have it glossy than chipped!

I might have to get some other angles of the shifter because it's really not that high, I'll see what I can do, haha. And I'm only 5'6" so yeah, I have the seat pretty far forward. [&:]

For the HVAC I took apart the center console and took off the HVAC face and cut out the blue plastic backing and put in white LED's. Stangnet has a good guide up on changing the colors. I could also probably make one for here when I get time...

For the brakes, I got it figured out. I spaced out the caliper a bit and filed down the edges and it's good as new! Lovin' the posi! Lots more control when I'm sliding it around (off the road of course ) and a lot better acceleration!

Thanks for all the compliments guys! I ended up also soldering on a new LED to the rear defroster and am waiting on some more LED's to come in... I'm putting in a white dome light with red map lights and then putting in a white LED in the defroster then putting in red LED's under the dash for the passenger and driver foot wells and under the driver and passenger seats to light up the back. Then wiring up a dimmer to make all the lights dim on and off. I'm also going next weekend to get my O/R H-pipe... It's a love hate relationship with this mod bug... I love it but my wallet hates it!

Sweet, Sounds like you know what you are doing.

What are you wanting to do with the car? Just sort of have a fun car?

So were my instructions good enough for the rear end install?

When I put on my next new rear end I'll have to do a big write up with pretty pictures.

I've been wanting to paint some interior pieces as well, it's just tough to find Mineral Grey paint lol. I may get the body shop to do it while the car is getting all the work done.
