omg, ha ha ha , nice job
haha. you know what that actually doesn't look all that bad. wow. good idea![]()
itll look heaps better once the P R N D D 2 1 plate is moulded in and the thing replainted black ( or even covered in black crush velvetheheheh ) but thanks for the comments
lol see what i get upto when im bored hahahaha
crushed velvet? nah, go black fur/shag material from spotlight. classy as :P
Thats something different, that you dont see everyday. I think it will look good when its finished.![]()
is it harder to put into gear now?
nope, same as before, leather doesnt interferr with at all
Mate, you desperately need to get yourself some sort of backing for that temperature dial.
Gearstick boot isn't bad though. lovin' it![]()

hahaha wot a pisser, now you will wanna shift through the gears like a manual, pretty good idea but, just have to get it right i guess
lol yeh them first pics are only a few idea gettin thrown around ( as the plastic shroud was rooted anyrate ) with the new one it'll be a nice little slit down the side about 1cm right, towards the drivers side, basicly a 1cm slip will be put in beside the built in line thats already there, just so i can keep it legal![]()
