Alright, today was productive... I got almost everything I ordered...

Started with the Window Cranks...

Came in, Really impressed with them. Only a bit small... and they were exactly the same, so I just flipped one of the handles around so that they would be "mirror" to each other once installed. As well, the "adaptors" were too narrow in the opening, so I drilled them out to fit onto the post...

Next came the shift knob. I was very happy with the quality of it. Actually, I was REALLY impressed with it. It wont be installed until the Dash is comeplete, so that the floor console can finally be installed...

The speaker grills as well. Again, very impressed. The neon lights came in, and what I ended up doing was spray painting the outter half of the ring black so that the actual light wasn't seen, as all I want is for the blue to reflect off the face of the sub. So... excuse the last pic, as I had to take it without the flash to get the blue light, and it came out a bit blurry.

Need to understand that the garage is pretty well lit, so the blue will be more defined once its actually installed in the car. There will be 4 chrome hex bolts mounting these in as well... which is going to match all the other chrome hex bolts going into the car... all... 282 of them...


Well, I had supper, all is good, and now back to the garage. More updates tonight.
